The Offer
- Ebates/Rakuten is offering up to 15% cash back (can be converted to 10x Membership Rewards)
Our Verdict
As always, use something like cashbackmonitor to see what other portals are offering (you can also see what historical rates are like). If you don’t already have an eBates/Rakuten account then I’d appreciate you using my link here, you can also convert existing accounts into an account that earns American Express Membership Rewards points. Referral bonus is currently $30/3,000 points.
First time using Rakuten. I placed an order on Kiehl’s ($109) through Rakuten’s portal. It was displayed in “store strips” but there is no specific tracking that records my spending $109. Is this normal? How do I know that my purchase has been properly tracked? Thanks!
I just spent 7K between Dell and Staples. All purchases are showing pending. As long as they get tracked, I have faith EBates will pay me correctly.
Ugh. Bought a new computer the day before this started
I find ebay and Rakuten HASSLES
I meant PayPal and Rakuten HASSLES
Sorry ebay
“ Ebates/Rakuten is offering up to 15% cash back (can be converted to 10x Membership Rewards)”
Why only 10x MR conversion and not the full 15%. Isn’t the conversion 1 for 1?
I won’t get fooled again. Too many times lately I’ve had Rakuten burn me when they ran these flash bonuses. Looking at the comments around the internet I am far from the only one. Lately Rakuten is getting a reputation for not paying out all that is owed. I will use any other cash back site now before Rakuten.

Thanks, added to post.
Time to use my amex $50 off benefit with saks fifth
Saks is at 10% for easy reference.
Hey I was thinking the same thing! Also, if you sign up for the emails then you get 10% off.
Dang. Spent $125 at Dell yesterday at 2%, now 8%
Fuuuu Dell showing 10% for me, just did the purchase for the Amex Bus Plus stack yesterday but only got 2% for Rakuten. Should’ve waited, sometimes you’re a day early and it sucks.
