I’m interested in opening a SoFi account to trigger the direct deposit bonus and stack it with the Rakuten bonus.

The issue is that I’m a freelancer, so my payments don’t usually come in as a traditional payroll direct deposit. Has anyone found a reliable way to trigger SoFi’s direct deposit requirement using things like Schwab, Venmo, TreasuryDirect, payment apps, or any other method?

Also, are there any services/apps that can send payments coded as direct deposit, even if there’s a fee?

Not looking to do anything sketchy, just trying to figure out what actually counts before opening the account.

So I hopped on the deal, signed up and deposited the $100 yesterday. Usually I will see points pending then confirmed after some time, here the pending points are 0. Does than mean I did something wrong or should I wait ?
