GBSo if I am going to shop online and can… So if I am going to shop online and can get cash back why shouldn't I? I have used it for purchases of everything from clothing, jewelry and even a home appliance. Very glad to have that extra money for my budget when I get my rebate even though one of my resolutions for 2024 is to be may more thoughtful about my spending.

GBGreat customer service Great customer service. I bought a $750 robot vacuum from Walmart when rakuten was giving 12% through that Website. Somehow Walmart's system didn't catch that it came through Rakuten. Still Rakuten decides to give me the bonus. Took around 2 months but it was good to know they cared and it was important for them to try to resolve customer issues

GBRakuten was once amazing but there are much better options out there Rakuten was once amazing. Over the past few years the app and the service has gone downhill. Previously all trips were captured and the process was great! Over the last few years, not all shopping trips are captured and manually following up has become increasingly time consuming. It’s not worth a few cents. Reaching out to customer service is mediocre at best. The process to get a reward for a shopping trip that wasn’t automatically identified is tedious and customer service provides canned responses with no real way to escalate or resolve. Note for potential users-Don’t use ANY coupons or promotions because that invalidates the slim possibility of having a reward for your (already tracked data) shopping.

GBThey take cash back away from you They take cash back away from you! If you do not track it, you will lose money without realizing. I ordered a smartphone from Samsung and received $90 in cash back in January. Today I look that cash back has been mysteriously changed to $22. I had taken a screenshot of my previously received cash back because I knew that they do this.
