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!
Had questions regarding tell a friend and got a response right away and was explained how it works :)

It's awesome to shop on Rakuten. The only issue is, majority of the time it's slow and keeps freezing, hopefully that's only temporary...

Don't shop online without going through Ebates. It brings you right to the websites you want to shop and you get a check every three months!

I appreciate the service and rebates, but I've had to request the credit manually for several orders. It's a hassle to have to monitor and reconcile.

I was missing credit for my purchase. It was easy to submit my request to ebates and they credited my account within an hour! Who could ask for more?

The percentages back need to be better. Over the years many retailers have left. The amount back barely covers the sales tax on item or shipping.
