Wrong information. The original poster was correct - the 25 days started when the first direct deposit hits. Not the day your account was opened.
- You can only link other bank accounts using Plaid. If you don't agree to Plaid terms you are pretty much out of luck.
- Email notifications are very limited, they try to only use push notifications which are not nearly as good for keeping history and you have to keep the app on your phone.
- They do have a website at least, but it's very basic and similar to the app.
On the good side though
- The debit card is great, no foreign transaction fees, and many free ATMs
- You can keep all money in savings account and auto-draft to maximize interest
- Vaults are good for securing and saving money

NM, I read the fine print.
Bonus Terms: In order to qualify for eligibility for a bonus, SoFi must receive at least one Direct Deposit (as defined below) from an Eligible Participant, the first of which must be received on or after 12/7/2023. Direct Deposits are defined as deposits of $1,000.00 or greater from an enrolled member's employer, payroll, benefits provider, or government agency via ACH deposit. Deposits that are not from an employer, payroll, benefits provider, or government agency (such as check deposits; P2P transfers such as from PayPal or Venmo, etc.; merchant transactions such as from PayPal, Stripe, Square, etc.; and external bank ACH transfers not from employers) do not qualify for this Direct Deposit Promotion. The amount of the bonus, if any, will be calculated during the Direct Deposit Bonus Period as described and defined below.
How do they determine whether an ACH transfer is from an employer or not? That would be useful information if anyone has it.
Remaining funds are in tri-party repo agreements.
I'm still looking for those deals! You never make too much money to ignore obvious deals. That is what separates good investors from the bad. You should read the book Thinking Fast and Slow
What program is this?

It will actually be 3 paychecks so you might still qualify. The 30 day requirement doesn't start until the first deposit is made. So day 1$, day 15$, and day 29$. That's assuming you get bi-weekly.Editing as I've been correctly informed it's a 25 day period not 30 as I thought. Still might be possible to get the 3 payments though as they do post early as they say. For me I get paid Wednesdays now instead of Friday but I understand that's not guaranteed and may be different for others.
