faq's
- Q: Is this legit? It feels too good to be true.
A: Yes, it’s legit. SoFi is a publicly traded financial company with millions of members. They are the Official Banking Partner of the NBA and have sponsorship deals with pro athletes like Josh Allen, Cameron Brink, and more. They spend heavily on marketing to acquire new customers, just like banks, credit cards, and fintech apps do. Instead of paying for billboards or ads, they’re choosing to pay college students directly to try their product.
- Q: What’s the catch? Is this going to cost me money?
A: There’s no catch.You deposit $10 into your new SoFi Checking & Savings account. That money is still yours. After your account is funded and tracked, you receive $100. You are not required to keep using SoFi after completing the deal.
- Q: When do I get paid, and how does payout work?
A: You get paid in two parts. Your $70 from MarketPryce is sent within 24 hours after your account is funded. You can choose how you want to receive it: Venmo, PayPal, Cash App, prepaid Visa card, or gift cards to brands like Apple, Nike, and Walmart. The additional $30 bonus from SoFi is paid separately and typically arrives within 14 days directly into your new SoFi account.
- Q: Do I have to be a current college athlete to qualify?
A: No. You do not need to be a current athlete. You just need an active .edu email address and must be a new SoFi user.
- Q: What exactly do I need to do to get paid?
A: Three simple steps. Sign up to SoFi using your .edu email and the custom link we email you so everything tracks, complete the application on a laptop or desktop, and deposit at least $10 into your new Checking & Savings account. Once your account is funded, you qualify for the $100 payout.
