Let see in some weeks I get it, but anyway, I associated my payments for direct deposit.
OPEN 10/23
10/23 $2000 Zelle
10/23 $3000 Zelle
10/23 $1010 Zelle
11/05 $450 Bonus Dated 11/04
zelle myself from another account.
I'm limited at 1k/day and SoFi certainly doesn't seems to be the limiting factor.
What's most confusing is once the deposit insta-posts, you can immediately withdraw? Like it's just counting eft vs days of them collecting interest

Do you know if you can Zelle 3000 then transfer it back to your other bank and Zelle that same 3000 again to qualify for the 6000?
