@craig10x Astra is slow
Scheduled on May 18, showed up on May 24 as follows
"May 24 Astra Inc. Direct Deposit $25.00"
and my SoFi rate immediately went to 1.25%
Update: did another transaction on the 23rd that showed up on the 26th.
The 6-day transaction above included a weekend where the 3-day transaction was on weekdays.
Really shouldn’t make a difference but it’s a plausible explanation ?

@craig10x I can only base my opinion on personal experience. Easy to link my accounts with Plaid.
Did two test transactions from two accounts that work perfectly.
Set up my automated routine early in the month so if in the event it fails I have time to do a manual push.
There’s plenty of other accounts that are pushing 1.25% without jumping through hoops, so I do understand your point.
If I didn’t already have SoFi I would, as a new customer, use Astra to push $5,000 in the get the $300 funding bonus.
Definitely making more money from bank, credit card, and brokerage bonuses than from these tepid interest rates.
Collected $10,000 last year and I’m on track to do the same this year.
