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!
Absolutely incredible staff! They helped combine my accounts after I accidently got cash back under my Facebook account. Thank you again!

One of my top go to rebate apps. I've earned over $500 back and site seems capable of tracking links well.

About half the time I go through your site to purchase something I do not get any money back from you.

Allishia at Ebates worked for hours trying to fix my technical issues and re instate my purchases from Home Depot & HSN. Ebates were very patient & kind.

Love getting cash back for items I'm buying anyway. Rakuten is super easy to use. Plus the customer service is amazing.

Much faster response to shopping credit. But the gift card offers in lieu of cash are kind of lame though.

I ordered a sub woofer and they sent me a Purse!
Called the purse company they said they received the order from Rakuten and that this was not the first time this happened where somebody ordered electronics and received a purse
Total scam. Heres the kicker after multiple emails and call NO SUBWOOFER AVALIBLE AT THAT PRICE. STAY AWAY!
