Additional Slickdeals Rewards Bonus

Slickdeals is offering an additional $75 via Slickdeals Rewards Points when you open a new SoFi Checking and Savings account and fund the account with $125 or more after following the instructions below.


This Slickdeals Rewards Bonus is a new way to more accurately track your account opening bonuses with our partners. This differs from the Slickdeals Rebates Program and strives to solve many of the issues you may have encountered in the past. You can learn more about our new Slickdeals Rewards Program here.
  • No more submitting rebate forms or receipts.
  • Automated tracking of purchases and point statuses.
  • Faster payouts and easy redemption via paypal or giftcards.
Note: the $75 bonus will be sent to your Slickdeals Rewards account within 30 calendar days after you've installed the Slickdeals Shopping Assistant Browser Extension, Enroll in Slickdeals Rewards, and open & fund your new SoFi Checking and Savings Account.

Shortly after completing the steps below, two transactions listed as $0.00 may populate in your account history as "ineligible", but this does not mean you do not qualify for the bonus. SoFi typically takes about a week to clear your initial deposit, after which another line item will populate in your account with your deposit amount as "eligible" with pending points.


After your deposit clears, it can take 2-10 days to be visible in your account history. If 10 days pass after your deposit clears and it is not listed in your account history, please submit a support ticket and a team member will gladly assist you.

To qualify for the additional bonus, please follow these steps:
  • Step 1: Install the Slickdeals Shopping Assistant Browser Extension (if you don't already have it installed) and follow the SD Rewards Prompts here (PC or Laptop Only)
  • Step 2: Follow the additional prompts in the link above to ensure you're enrolled in SD Rewards and your account is registered/signed-in. You need to have an account to track and redeem your rewards.
  • Step 3: One you're logged into your Slickdeals account, click the the green Apply Now button, or the links at the top of the post, and open and fund your new SoFi Checking and Savings account. If you are in Classic view, click either of the links at the top of the thread. You must apply through the link on this page in order to receive the $75 bonus.
  • Step 4: Do not close the SoFi Checking and Savings window prior to confirming and funding your new account. Closing the window may make you ineligible for the $75 bonus.
    • NOTE: If you do NOT fund the account with the full $125 during this process, you may not receive the bonus. Please be sure to fully fund with at least $125 as soon as you open the account.
  • Step 5: Once you open and fund your new SoFi Checking and Savings account, you will be able to track your order here. You should expect to receive your $75 bonus via Slickdeals Rewards Points within 30 calendar days of funding your account
  • IMPORTANT NOTE: In order for us to give you credit for your purchases you must disable ad blockers or whitelist the Slickdeals Extension. Also, if you use other cashback or coupon extensions, only the one you use last will get credit for your purchase, so if you want your Slickdeals Rewards points, please remember not to activate other extensions while shopping.
The $75 bonus offer is provided solely by Slickdeals and is unrelated to any benefits or offers provide by SoFi. SoFi is not responsible for the $75 bonus.

Slickdeals is pleased to make this offer available to you. Please follow the instructions carefully to help avoid any processing issues.

Hey everyone, I just opened my accounts. Slickdeals did a great job explaining the process. However my experience was still a disaster. The problem is I only have Discover banking now. And I got major issue at the funding process because of that. First, the instant funding option SoFi provides only support master or visa debit card so my Discover debit card was a no go there. Then, their second option is to connect your current bank account to fund and SoFi utilizes Plaid for that. But!!! Plaid is having issue connecting Discover bank and it's reporting an outage. So I am still not able to fund my new SoFi account yet. I did save tons of screenshot to back up what I have been through. However at this point I really doubt I am getting my $75 slickdeals money since the funding obviously didn't work out during the process of opening the account and Slickdeals instruction clearly states the funding has to happen during the account opening process. Well, I chatted with SoFi support and they insist their agreement with Slickdeals is to fund the new account within 2 weeks, which I also have screenshot of. So we will see. I do want to mention that if there is not a Plaid outage for Discover bank, my experience would be 5 stars.
This is a trap, u won't get the cashback
Never even try slickdeal cash back rebate.

I just opened the account last night and kept getting an error when transferring money over. I tried to contact their support but their webpage is also down. Seems very scammy?

Do you know if you have the time you can take them to your local small claims District Court & they're not going to fly out a pair of Attorneys for a couple grand a day each so you'll definitely win. Even if they had lawyers you'd win. You'll get minimum triple damages in 80% of courts & some will kick you back your filing fees but triple damages, filing fee's minus $75 X 3 = your money if you're not awarded filing fee's.

PASS. I do not like rebates and I've read and heard advice from professionals to find the lowest price and avoid rebates. I have both not received some rebates and also received rebate cards I that were declined in the places I tried to use them and expired unused. I have not tried Slickdeals rebates for these reasons. Moreover, SoFi is, in my opinion, a poorly run institution, definitely one of the worst I've encountered. A small spiff or rebate isn't worthwhile if the institution you are dealing with has poor customer service, limited hours, poorly executed offers, etc. For this reason, in conjuction wiht the reasons pointed out by the other posters. PASS. SoFired.

Tried it. It did not trigger the 1.2% rate, so it would not work as DD

I ended up getting the reward points from slickdeals and SoFi on the last deal, and think I only had to follow up SoFi once. $5,000 direct deposit is insanely high though

Sofi is the poorest excuse EVER for a bank. They are incompetent, will cheat you out of any bonus, and are not even capable of running a lemonade stand.

SoFi opened my account and provided me the account number, but didn't "activate" my account which caused all my autopays to bounce! Complained like hell but they did nothing and blamed it on me. Avoid.
