Update 7/16/21: Deal is back.
Update 7/2/21 SD bonus is now dead.
Update 5/20/21: The $75 SD bonus is back, and it stacks with the regular $100 direct deposit bonus that SoFi offers. (Referral bonus is only $50 for new member, I believe, so this SD offer is a bit better, unless you operate a P1+P2 setup.)

The Offer
- Slickdeals is offering a $75 bonus when you’re logged into your account, go through their link and then open a new SoFi Money account and fund it with $125 or more.
The Fine Print
- All bank account bonuses are treated as income/interest and as such you have to pay taxes on them
Avoiding Fees
Monthly Fees
This account doesn’t have any monthly fees to worry about.
Early Account Termination Fee
Not sure if there is any EATF or not, but there is no monthly fee and it’s worth keeping the account open long term for the spending bonuses.
Our Verdict
According to this page you can also get a $75 direct deposit bonus through 9/30/20, I’m not sure if this offers will stack or not. My guess is that they will, we have covered that $75 bonus in more detail here. Previously you could get a $125 bonus and stack it with that $75 bonus, so this Slickdeals offer isn’t as good as that unfortunately.
