Endless ways to earn cash back.
Have used Ebates for years, no problems, good deals. The new name change is no problem, as long as the deals stay great!
Used to be called Ebates and now Rakuten, Easy to shop thru the links and get a rebate. I don't know why every one doesn't use it. I try to use companies associated with them to increase my rebate.
Like getting cash back for the items I buy. Just wish all the stores I shop at were participating. Also, sometimes the store's cash back terms are too detailed and restrictive for me to take advantage of their offers.
I received an email from Rakuten advising me of a good deal at one of my favorite stores. I made a purchase and received a 6% rebate on this purchase which I made because of the notification from Rakuten.
It was so easy to purchase with Rakuten. Can't beat the perks. I am a new customer and have used it at restaurants and retail stores.
Ebates/Rakuten is great. Easy to use and not many issues with not getting paid. (It has happened but they have a good process to request your credit)
It's nice getting money back when shopping for things that you need and for those things you really don't need!
I love this concept. Shop, shop and shop some more and get percentages back. I feel valued as a customer.
I have been a member of Ebates for quite a long time and now a continuing member of Rakuten - love shopping and getting discounts - never get anything for free, but this is a nice incentive for continued shopping

You should have stuck with the name "Ebates". It perfectly describes the website and what a consumer can expect. Rakuten is a meaningless word... don't even know how to say it...
Love using this site. Great getting check in the mail. Always check this site when shopping. Very happy with site.
I make money everytime i shop - very easy to navigate and love the app best place to start your shopping
Excellent and fast, it is a pleasure to see my cash back adding up monthly. Not only do I get sale prices at time of purchase I also get money back monthly in the purchase itself. This way I know I am not over paying for any products I buy. I like the fact that I can register my charge card and also now receive money back on in store purchases
They've improved their rebate speed. I used to have to wait and message them but now they come very quickly, even the ebates credit card ones come quickly now.
Do not like how you now can't leave Rakuten without loosing everything you input. Ebates used to open a new page that stayed open if you wanted to go to another page to check something out before ordering.
I've found many great things on this site. Love the free shipping and return policy. My only caution is to make sure you pay attention when something is non-returnable.

Answer: Hi Mike, This is a great idea. I'll make sure that our leadership team is aware of this suggestion and I'll see what we can do to make it happen in the future. We know that Ebates is the best Cash Back shopping service, but we appreciate your confirmation of this fact.
Answer: I can't answer about the owner ripping people off. All I know is I have ordered from Rakuten numerous times and have nothing but praise for them. I haven't read the bad reviews but I've gotten nothing but good products.
Answer: I can't tell you I would buy again. I had no help from rakuten when needed. They said they are not responsible for the sellers since they work as an online shopping center. I would suggest you buying at Amazon. I never had problems with them. Regards
Answer: I dont know there some wierred how come I just order some jewelry.com and I order two earring only and its just 30.00 dollars. But when I use debates the price went up to high.
Answer: If it for some reason doesn't show like it should, I contact ebates. I include a copy of the email with the information from the order placed. Normally I wait until the purchase has arrived. This gives ebates and the store to put the transaction in your account.
