Easy to use the site to earn cash from online purchases. I would be foolish to not do this when purchasing goods and services online.
So easy to use Rakuten. Love the checks. Keep them coming! I have it on my computer and on my phone.
Have gotten 1000 dollars back since I joined in the 90s. The percentages increase around the holidays-I love that! Not all stores are participating stores, but the ones I most commonly use are.
I love getting cash back on my purchases. I also love sharing with friends. And I see more and more companies added which means more cash back!
So far it has not helped me but it might in the future. The only irritating thing is that it pops up while I browse shopping sites.
Like being notified if a site has a R rebate
Would like to know when rebate is coming
Liked the name "Ebates" better
This website is very easy to use. I have had no problems with the transition to the new website. I have been a customer for a long time.
I'm a little disappointed that the money earned is only paid periodically and if I don't use this site, I seem to lose what I've earned. It's fun to think I'm going to get cash back so I continue to use it whenever I can but the prices aren't always the best and stock availability is limited.
Rakutem makes getting a better price on items easy by their refunds. It is easy and done completely in one step
I have been using the older named app for years. Can't beat it. I've saved over $1000 and I am on the way to $2000.
Every time I, have logged on and went through Rakuten, it has given me money within a couple of days. You don't have to do anything but go through Rakuten and they keep track of your money earned for the month and at end of month they send your money to you. For me it's PayPal.
Very long delay from using the service until the check is received, and wonder if many are never received.
Who can complain about getting extra cash for something your going to buy anyway. Love getting them checks in the mail... Pleasant surprise when I do. Thank you Rakuten
I started out at Ebates and have earned good money over the years. Always a pleasure getting a check in the mail.
Love saving money and Rakuten makes it easy! Thanks for the automatic reminder so i do not miss any cash back deals.
Great Experience. I love getting money back from my purchases. There is a great selection of stores/sites. I also like that when I am on a shopping site, your icon pops up and reminds me to go through Rakuten.
Since the site didn't acknowledge it was waiting for confirmation of my purchase from Advance Auto, I'll have to assume that's what's happening. Also, when I've gone to the site lately it's asked me to log in. Ebates didn't do that unless I was messing with my account.
I have had no problems - it is smooth sailing and why not - you shop and get paid to do that - what is better than that!
It couldn't be easier to use Rakuten and save money. I am a huge fan and try to refer others but for some reason people are reluctant. They are irrational. It's awesome.
I've used EBates for years. Now it's Rakuten. No difference on that score. I do sort of resent their now sticking their own shopping out there all the time but it's a mild irritant. Otherwise, all is good.

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.
