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.

because you are checking in the wrong spot. Check in rewards.slickdeals.net
I did check there!
I don't see anything sadly,
it does say at the top "We are noticing an issue with SoFi and Axos Offers being marked ineligible - we're looking into this and will let you know when it's been resolved!"
so I'm not sure what that means. But its said that for like 4 days since i signed up! Hopefully I'm able to get the 75$ tho and I'm willing to be patient, I just don't see any indication that it's processing or something.

Slickdeals bonus--I signed up on 04/12 and initiated a qualifying transfer during the sign-up process. That transfer was deposited into my account the very next day (04/13). My Slickdeals account shows no pending rewards as of 05/01.

Edit: I received my rewards from Slickdeals. I am still trying to get my rewards from SoFi, and it has been super messy.

As for SoFi--I'm sticking to it for its APY %. I am, however, pretty disappointed with the app's UI.

Direct deposit from employer? I got the bonus $300.

I took this deal and have got the 7500 reward points. A surprise is that some of my transactions with Sofi bank that are not related to the deposit of $125 at account opening are also shown in the "Cashback Activity" section of Slickdeals Rewards. Is this normal? I certainly did not expect those transactions to be tracked at Slickdeals.

Same thing for me. My regular direct deposits other than the initial $125 deposit shows up on "cashback activity" also. Slickdeals, Are you guys monitoring our transections in exchange for $75 cashback? Roll Eyes (Sarcastic)
