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.

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

GBGreat app, easy to use, good company, needs to add scanning store receipts. When shopping online, it was a simple and easy process to use the Rakuten to get coupons and discounts and cash back and we already received our first check! The only thing I really don't like about it is that I would have to enter my credit card or debit card to get instore shopping coupons and cash back and I am worried about the security of doing that. I wish they would add a function to scan store receipts to get cash back on instore purchases instead of risking security of my credit card or debit card. Scanning store receipts is a lot safer and easier for the consumer.

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.

GBI have been with Rakuten since it was… I have been with Rakuten since it was Ebates and I love it. It's incredibly easy to use it online but instore is a different matter, I'm lost in knowing how to use it. Luckily I shop online more than I shop in brick & mortar stores.
