"RAKUTEN" IS A MESS... TOTALLY CONFUSING... I'VE SHOPPED ONLINE & HAVE SPENT THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS@ SPONSORED WEBSITES... I HAVE NEVER RECEIVED A SINGLE DIME SINCE SIGNING UP FOR "REWARDS" WITH "RAKUTEN"... THE FORMAT IS RIDICULOUSLY CONFUSING & A TOTAL WASTE OF TIME. (I THOUGHT: 1)YOU SIGN UP... 2)YOU PICK ALL THE STORES & WEBSITES YOU SHOP AT... 3)YOU "AUTOMATICALLY" RECEIVE REWARDS... THIS IS NOT THE CASE... (I HAVE ADDED ALL THE WEBSITES AND STORES I FREQUENTLY PURCHASE FROM... I HAVE YET TO RECEIVE ANY REWARDS FOR DOING SO) "RAKUTEN" (FORMERLY "EBATES") IS A COMPLETE JOKE. (THIS JAPANESE BASED COMPANY SHOULD HAVE DONE THEIR HOMEWORK BEFORE BUYING OUT "EBATES" & LAUNCHING THIS ("DOOMED TO FAIL") NEW "REWARDS SITE".
Excellent benefits for using Rakuten. How can you "not" use it? Gives you back money on normal everyday purchases.
I've made one successful referral so far, and multiple qualifying purchases. Money from Rakuten shows up in my Paypal account with regularity. I only wish more merchants would get onboard with in-store purchases.
Tried to delete, cannot find a way, very intrusive, covers up parts of the screen, wish I could delete
I had a hard time linking my Amazon account. And I do most of my shopping through Amazon. I had to turn if my 2step verification in order to link my account.
Wonderful! I am very satisfied. I will continue to use this all the time. Friends all love it! They have been very good about all services professional and curtious when contacted for help.
Easy to use website. So many different sites to choose from.
All the sites I use all together instead of me going from one different site to another and another.
I spent over $2000 on Amazon and only got a Rakuten check for $1.20. I guess the stuff I bought was not covered by Rakuten.
Easy to navigate site, delivery is quick and product as described. Every purchase that i have made I've always been pleased with item.
Super easy to use and very easy to set up. Anyone with a smartphone can use this app plus the option to use on the computer is great as well.
It is not very clear for an older person to use. If you have a card attached to it it should automatically find the savings for you we should not have to log in first and then click on each store either online or in person at a store.
I'm new to Rakuten and got encouraged to try it for the $10 welcome bonus. Happy to find my favorite stores on there to receive cashback from when I shop for basic items. If you're not using Rakuten, you're mi$$ing out.
Very difficult to find deals and merchant websites and Rackuten hide the information on where to access the deal or percentage rebate.
Used the app, shopped & got money sent to my PayPal account! Easy to use & will continue to use it!
The microphone button was not working from the start. So the seller sent a replacement. After 2 weeks, the microphone itself stopped working. Wouldn't mind buying from this buyer but definitely not buying this product from them again.
Its nice getting money back with no extra steps. Check came and surprised me. Like getting a bonus for doing your normal shopping.

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.
