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.

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.

GBCustomer service is fantastic Customer service is fantastic! They replied to my email within 24hrs including an explanation how my issue would be resolved. I'm a customer of Ebates/Rakuten since 2000 and I have always had good experiences using this company. I would recommend this company if your looking to save using the stores you love to shop and experience saving by trying new stores.

GBRakuten is pretty good most of the time Rakuten can save you money, on things you were buying anyway, though problems do crop up sometimes. Recently, I made a large purchase and they undid my cashback after the 30-day return period had passed on my purchase. The cashback had been shown as earned. I followed all of the rules as to categories and exclusions. They eventually agreed to fix it, but I would suggest keeping an eye on any larger cashbacks.

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.
