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!
I have used Ebates and Rakuten for a number of years and have received a good amount of rebates. It's nice to have the extra savings while I shop!

I love having the app pop up automatically when I am shopping at stores that use Rakuten. I always use Rakuten when it is available online.

Shopping from home and getting money back! Simple to go through site, go to my choice of store, place my order and wait for my check.

The "rebates" are taking longer to post to my account. This makes tracking purchases and the matching the "rebate" to the purchase a bit more timely.

Cash back on purchases is great! If you are shopping online anyway why not get cash back while you are at it.

I was skeptical at first, but the rewards are beneficial. I receive rebates along with the retailer's discounts. The double rebates are even better.
