Easy
April 29, 2019

I order online often, and I don't mind the ordering and buying... it is easy the hardest part is remembering to buy things through the app but I will get better!

Needs a backtracker
April 29, 2019

I wish there was a way, if I place an order and forget to go through the app first, that I could enter an order number or similar to still receive cash back

Not sure
April 29, 2019

Love the opportunity to get money back for just shopping, but it may be too expensive in the long run. I don't like the idea of making my personal information so available.

In store usage
April 29, 2019

It is very hard to use Rakuten in-store at Walmart. I don't know if the app works or not. Otherwise I love the online set-up and don't have to worry about searching for stores since the app pops right up on a valid site. Thank You

Quick with the cash backs
April 29, 2019

As soon I was eligible for rebate they sent it. Some sites you have to wait till you have a certain amount of "Points" before a rebate nat so with Rakuten

After I got signed up and logged in the rest was a breeze. There are so many stores that I shopped online before I started using Rakuten and didn't get a rebate. So now whenever I start shopping online I go directly to Rakuten and find my store. And then I anxiously wait to see what my rebate will be. I've shared it with many friends and I love it. Thank you Rakuten.

Easy to use!
April 29, 2019

I really like Rakuten. It's simple to use, lots of stores, and of course making money while shopping is awesome! The only con I would have is sometimes, after spending what I think is a lot, the money I get back isn't much. All in all, I am happy with it!
