Frustrated about the welcome bonus, but I do like the app
So, I was super excited to switch to Sofi. I love that I can organize my savings into vaults, love the apy, and I was excited about the welcome bonus. I would be happy if they would fix my direct deposits showing up but so far, nothing… I’ve called 3 times now about the fact that my direct deposit from my employer isn’t being marked as direct deposit, and because of this, I have not received the promised bonus. I’ve had 4, it will be 5 on Friday, direct deposits that aren’t being counted. This is frustrating because I didn’t get the APY for the direct deposit, until the SECOND time I called they put a temporary 30 day adjustment to the apy. Fine. But then I waited about a month to call again, and all they can tell me is I’ll get a response eventually that either they will fix it, or give me a reason why they can’t?? My other bank marks these deposits as direct deposits automatically so I’m not sure why they wouldn’t be able to do it for this one. Also, the app did just mark a deposit, NOT from my employer, as a direct deposit. Great, I’m sure that won’t help with my welcome bonus. Hoping they fix this, as it’s not fair to advertise a welcome bonus and not follow through. I hope to continue to be a customer but I will definitely file a complaint and switch banks if they don’t get it sorted out.
