5/7/24

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!

“Dishonest and unreliable”

J W.
5/21/24

They boast a 25% cashback if I buy something from Temu, which I did. I was sure the system activated this cashback just before purchase. However, they never sent me this cashback, despite my multiple attempts to claim it. First they tried to play stupid by simply repeating the info I already submitted a few times, then they didn't even bother to reply in the end. I will let both Temu and other customers know how dishonest and unreliable they are.

Had an issue verifying whether I would get an Ebates rebate on a recent purchase. I received an immediate response with helpful advice.

Ebates is a great way to shop & save money. The app is user friendly plus you find great coupons on stores you already shop at.

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.

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 prefer to use Rakuten over most other cash back apps because I know how well is works and it is quick at adding cash back to my account.

No muss, no fuss to get discounts on stuff I buy everyday. Most discounts post within 24 hours so it's easy to keep track of my "earnings".
