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.

One of the greatest thing about old/still grandfathered in checking was that they refunded EVEREY ATM fee, no matter where it was withdrawn. Once, I went to Vegas and withdrew from ATM with 19.99 fees and they were all immediately refunded.

This is the weirdest thing, literally 5 minutes ago they sucked me in and I applied and was approved for their credit card. It finally had a sign up bonus and I don't have a 2% card. Their stuff is really good
So, the promo period ends 5/31 and the evaluation period is 30 days after the first direct deposit.
If I have a direct deposit on 5/31, will my direct deposit on 6/15 be counted?
I assume yes, but would like confirmation.
Thanks
Also, not really sure of the slickdeals rebate process. I just had the extension active while funding it $125. Is that it? there weren't any prompts or anything

This Slickdeals reward is very YMMV. I've opened a ticket with them cause mine showed up as ineligible. Be prepared to earn this reward with lots of back and forth.

It is now resolved. The points are pending. I will stand by my critique, but I will also apologize for said critique. While I think it is true, I also believe that slickdeals is trying to do the right thing and has solved my situation.
To anyone else reading this: I got my bonus from slickdeals for 75. I am also staying with SoFi because their interest rate is solid. It may be a bit bumpy getting the bonus but it is not scam. I honestly recommend you pray Plaid works, but I will also say that Plaid is trash and nobody should use it. Again, slickdeals support is legit.

yes..through atms
Just be aware if you need liquidity.
Proper bill pay frequency.
Rather than attempting to "pull" funds from Discover to Sofi using Plaid (which failed for the reasons you stated), I adding my Sofi account as a transferee in my Discover bank account, and then used ACH to "push" funds from Discover to Sofi.
My promo credited without issue. Hope yours does too.
Are you saying that pushing funds from 1 acct counts towards the 5k dd requirement?
