Transferring $5 back and forth from SoFi to Plynk each month counts as a direct deposit✌️
There's no requirement that your whole check go into the checking or savings account. It's a direct deposit of any amount. I was going to save 15% anyway, so I just have 15% of my paycheck deposited at SoFi and the other 85% at my local credit union.

I used to send $5 there every two weeks. Then 4.6% was no longer competitive so I stopped even the $5
Last year I think I got about a $200 bonus in the card, now it’s 2.2%! Total win here
If you want catch all everything card Alliant is 2.5% but I would hold off until there is a SUB of some sort for opening a membership with that credit union.
Direct deposit can be as little as 1% of you check. I do this
This works for me cuz I’m already a SoFi fanboy with all those products. I got the card last year and am currently getting 3% on my whole life.

the 3% was 1st year up to a certain amount in spend.

@@Slaize word, still going for me.
I basically use their savings as checking. There’s no withdrawal limit, I put DD into savings and qualify for the higher rate, and any overdraft from checking gets pulled from savings.
You can easily get 5% or close to it without the stipulations and Robinhood has a 3% card coming with a subscription to robinhood gold that gets 5% so if you have enough money that the .4% interest difference makes up the 50$ a year for gold.. no brainer!
Don't like HYSA Direct Deposit requirement, will stick w/ Cap One... already have three 2% CB cards and 3% CB online options
Unrelated to this video, but I just noticed US Bank is making changes to their Altitude Go and Connect Credit Cards….for the worst in my opinion! Would be cool to see a video on this with your thoughts.
Unfortunately my SoFi card got shut off die to non-use, there's no way to apply for a new one. I called and asked. Bummed me out.
I have the bank account but since there’s no transfer partners, no CC for me. Solid for team cash back
Last month I transferred from Wells Fargo to SoFi and the credit card for me is giving 3% cash back for one year so I’m rocking that til next March for everything except travel and hotels

Yep I forgot that some people got that deal. now you'll only drop down to 2.2% afterwards if you have other account + Direct Deposit.
American Express has a 4.35 % int savings acct. No minimum balance.

Funny you mention, I moved my HYSA from Sofi over to Amex. With the recent debacles with SVB and Yotta, I’m trusting my money with a bigger well known bank. Also I like that Amex literally have no requirements like deposits or min balance.
Wow 1 minute, your videos are at my top of recommended videos... Still on the wait-list for Robinhood card
Just a data point. You dont need to deposit your whole paycheck. I break off $5 from each check, and still qualify for the 4.6% rate.

Correct. As stated in Sofi's terms, there is no minimum direct deposit requirement in order to get the 4.60% savings rate.
I have been happy with my SoFi MC since I opened it solid 2% card these new changes are excellent! ✊
Great content as always, thanks Adam!!!
The SUB thing isn’t quite correct. I have the card and SoFi targeted me with a mail offer for 200 dollar statement credit after 500 dollars spend in 3 months. Once you sign up for the bank product and then get direct deposit, people often get the offer. Then it is a no brainier

OK, yeah, if there is a bonus. definitely changes things. SoFi would maybe be better off to make that bonus clear to potential new customers.
Only got it for the foreign fee.
Does the new 3% cash back for the first year change your answer at all?

You'll have to spend 20000 in the first year to offset 200 sign-in bonuses. If you are a travel guy, the gap will be even bigger as miles are usually worth more than a cent per mile.
Nah

Great video.
