I am now researching BMO Harris and their $500 cash bonus when you have a total of at least $7,500 in qualifying direct deposits within the first 90 days.

Gave it a try....guess we all have to wait till Dec 1 to fully verify that it worked
You can just redeem posits into your checking or saving account. Judy like any deposit.
BTW, did u get email for this offer?
Also if you were thinking about the balance transfer offer this is her direct quote
"Unfortunately, this offer is only extended to the members that have received the email for the offer along with a certain tenure for the account opened."

I was referred by someone and neither of us received the bonus. I also referred someone and again neither of us received the bonus. Chatted with support and they said there is no record found of the referrals.
I haven't received my bonus for the direct deposits and I also believe they'll have another reason not to give me my bonus for balance transfer.
Not happy with their customer service.

Sorry to hear that. It will take upto 8 business day to get bonus. $10 deposit required for bonus. They do have audit system to find issues and apply bonus. So wait for some more time before closing your account.
I referred few and all of them got referal bonus and joining bonus with no issues.

Offer page clearly says "This offer is limited to one per account. You must receive this offer directly from SoFi to be eligible"
So don't get disappointed later
I chatted with customer service to confirm that it is targeted offer. Your account number must be in this offer to get it.
As per the other newer deposit bonus for the larger sums...guess we will wait till Dec to see who gets it lol Worse comes to worse is we earn 2% (and whatever it gets raised to in that time)
still wish SoFi's web based page was better, especially for bill pay. If it stays the same clunky, featureless page, I'll move my $ back out
Savings account 2.35% APY*
