I got started with Rakuten about 6 months ago and have already received checks! It is so easy to set up with navigation prompts that easily guide you through the process. I really appreciate the automatic activation when you visit a website that they offer rewards and there are special offers that come with about every store.
The site is very easy to use, making the shopping process simple and enjoyable. Search for the merchant, find which discount you want to use and make your purchase, all the while saving money!
Without much effort I get money back for buying what I would be buying anyway! Install the toolbar addon for easy access.
It's the easiest way to save on purchases, and being a senior citizen, i'm appreciative of any savings.
I just got credited with something from a year ago which is very strange but at least I got it! Sometimes I have to resubmit my purchases. It is usually a good site.
Easy as anything. No different than Ebates. Very smooth transition. Just remembering to click on it is the only issue I have.
The title pretty much says it all. I've never had any problems with Ebates and don't expect this to change under the Rakuten name.
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".
I have it installed on my computer but I can't always tell if it is going to reward me or not at the time of my purchase. I get an e-mail later and maybe that is the only notification I am to get.
I shop, then I get money back. Sometimes I miss out on a rebate because I accidentally close the Ebates/Rakuten shopping trip window, but that's my own fault and not a flaw with the website.
I love Ebates. I never thought I'd get a percentage back when I purchased a product. To me that was impossible. But thanks to Ebates it worked. Now when I shop online I make sure I go to Ebates first to see what is available. I also like that by going to Ebates you can get a listing of the the promotional offers. Thanks Ebates_ you make my shopping something I look forward to doing.
Love this site for deals and cash back. Easy to use and the downloaded reminder that pops up is excellent
Great deals, fast payment. Great service. Has lot of stores to choose where you can get best deals for anything you are searching for. Earns you money while to save
I can't understand why everyone is not on the Rakuten wagon. It is so easy to use and you get cash (yes, real cash) back on products you were going to buy anyway! Can't rate it high enough!
I was unable to get the purchase in person. I have always purchased on line. I have the app on my phone and still couldn't do it.
I have had great success using Rakuten and would recommend it to everyone. I will continue to use it and recommend it to others. Thanks.
It is amazing how you can get money back for online shopping. It is super easy and fun! I have an extension on my browser that lets me know that cashback amount as well as the coupons available. So not only can you get money back they are saving you money as well. Can't beat it!
Just click on Rakuten and the store pops up. And in a few days you get your reward very satisfied. Good site.
Rakuten has followed through on all payments, doesn't miss an opportunity to engage with a partner website, and has done a tremendous job. I do not make a lot of money back, but in this day and age - every little bit helps.

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.
