Update 4/18/24: See updated offer here
Update 9/3/21: Slickdeals is offering a $75 rebate when investing $125+. Don’t think it stacks with the other deals below unfortunately.
Update 8/2/21: Offer is back through 8/31/21. Details are slightly different now with an added $5,000 tier and a couple of other minor changes. Updated below. (ht Davis) They’ve also added a reimbursement of up to $75 to cover any fees for doing the investment transfer.

Our Verdict
Reader Daniel got an email about this offer with the tiers and all; it seems to be available on the public landing page, above. However, not many details are found on the public page, and I’m not entirely sure if this is a public offer or not. It’s possible you’ll see it on login or you can confirm with SoFi that your account is valid for the offer.
It requires $2M to get the full $5,000 bonus. Compare that against other brokerage bonuses in our post Best Brokerage Bonuses – Earn Up To $3,500. In the past, there have been numerous SoFi Invest bonuses of smaller amounts with lower deposit requirements to get you used to their platform; this offer is more in the mold of the traditional brokerage bonus where they are trying to get people will balances to bring over their investments.
This deal appears kaput.
Can you transfer a single security to SoFi Invest? If not, it’s not worth doing…. I was thinking of splitting my current Vanguard account into 3 new ones (Merrill, Ally, & SoFi), to collect the bonuses. If you can’t split up your assets, I’ll just pick the biggest bonus.
Also, does this offer stack with the SwagBucks offer? How? Would you open the SB acct opening link from SB, then open a new tab for the SoFi account opening bonus page?
Thanks for any light you can shed on this! This is the first time I’m considering transferring securities, not cash, so I’m a little nervous….
I also didn’t get 1099 for the bonus from asset brought into Sofi. Anyone called Sofi to get clarification?
Did anyone get the 1099 form for 2021 if you got the transfer bonus back last summer?
$10 bonus for buying $25+ of crypto before 3/31. Targeted though
From my email,
Hi Davis,
Bitcoin is down over 30% from its all-time highs, which has caught lots of investors’ attention. Thinking about your next crypto trade?
Make your next crypto purchase of at least $25 before 3/31, and receive 1,000 SoFi rewards points. That’s an extra $10 to invest in stock or crypto!
Terms and conditions apply. Earn up to $10 in reward points when you buy $25 or more of crypto on your next crypto trade and when redeemed to SoFi Money, SoFi Invest, or towards an eligible SoFi loan. The offer only applies to members who received specific communication about the promotion, is limited to one per person, and expires on March 31, 2022. Once conditions are met and your purchase is made, you will receive your bonus within 7 days. SoFi reserves the right to change or terminate the offer at any time without notice.
2/17: Bought $25.01 BAT
2/24: 1000 points (BAT currently at $23.19 so $8.18 profit as of now)
I feel like anybody who has $1 million+ in cash may not be a member of DoC’s target audience lol.
I actually think there is some real wealth on these boards?
SoFi sucks as a brokerage and bank. Its your decision. But its a waste of time using their subpar products for your financial health
What am I gonna do with my 10M
Offer apparently expired.
Maybe when my GME investment becomes 2M+ i can transfer it for the top tier…
