How Rakuten Works
Sign Up with Rakuten:
When you create your new Rakuten account, you qualify for a $10 sign up bonus! To score your $10 sign up bonus, simply make any qualifying purchases through your new Rakuten account for $25 or more within 90 days.
It doesn’t cost anything to have an Rakuten account, but I have found it to be an easy way to get extra cash back while shopping online. In fact, I’ve been getting cash back from Rakuten since 2011! {previously called Ebates}
Find Rakuten Cash Back Deals:
If you’re planning to shop online, simply head to Rakuten first! Use the search bar at the top of the Rakuten website to search for the store you want to shop at.
Then select the “Shop Now” button. This will qualify you for the cash back available and will also take you directly to the website you want to shop on.
Be sure to also check out the different “Double Cash Back” offers available every day!
Get the Rakuten App:
You can use the Rakuten App anywhere you shop. When you’re out shopping, you can conveniently scan products using the app to make sure you’re getting the best price.
You can also choose to be notified about the latest sales and money saving coupons!
Finally, the app is a handy way to know exactly how much cash back you’ve earned towards your next big fat cash back payment!
Download the Rakuten Browser Extension:
The Rakuten browser extension is like having your own “free cash back shopping assistant.” When I go to directly to a store’s website, it prompts me to “Activate” the cash back savings available. All I have to do is click on the “Activate” prompt to quality for cash back on items I buy while on the site.
To download the Rakuten browser extension for Safari or “Rakuten Button,” login to your account and scroll to the bottom of the Rakuten homepage to the “Tools & Services” section.
When Do I Get My Cash Back?
Rakuten issues cash back payments 4 times a year. As long as you have earned $5.00 or more in cash back, you will receive a big fat check every 3 months! You can choose to receive your payment as a physical check, payment to your PayPal account, or even in the form of gift cards.
