Rakuten team are the best service I've come across in the US. We are refugees from Ukraine and we are very grateful to Rakuten for such joy as excellent service, impeccable work, patience, respect for the client and professionalism. I will be happy to buy everything only through the Rakuten service. This is a great savings and a great pleasure to know them! Thank you Susan!
They never pay what you actually earned. I have yet to have a single transaction pay what was advertised. Even after purchases have been verified they just delete the payout for no reason. 100% scam!
The service is good, but sales do not always want to provide services for the selected coupon or would provide poor quality!

I bought through ebates with Amazon and was positive the rebate was 5% and I only received 1% of 139.00 item. They resolved it very quickly.

I was surprised that my order changed the moment I hit the confirm button. Price changes for all items. Not so good. Other than that, okay.

They gave me all rebates upon request or automatically!
I have earned $820 plus via Rakuten since April, 2019.
Highly recommended in a heartbeat!

Rakuten automatically recognizes sites where I can save money and opens. It automatically gives cash back when I complete my order
