The Offer
- Rakuten/eBates is offering 5% cash back or 5x Membership Rewards points on all Uber Eats purchases
The Fine Print
- Available via Rakuten app only
- Offer is not valid with gift cards, Uber rides, or in any combination with other Uber coupons or promotions.
Our Verdict
Doesn’t work when using gift cards or coupons, worth checking to see if you’re eligible for an UberEats promo code first as the savings might be bigger. 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.
Hat tip to reader Andrew D
Does anyone know if this offer can be used on already open accounts, as well as multiple times? The fine print says, “Offer only valid for Uber Eats customers only within the United States. Cash back is not available on Uber rides or canceled orders. Must place order within 2 hours of clicking on the Uber Eats offer to be eligible.” But the only button to click is to install Uber Eats…
I’ve always had bad experiences with Rakuten more than any other cash back site. The notion that “we pay you when we get paid” is ridiculous. How do I know they didn’t get paid to begin with. I didn’t earn cash back a number of times from the same store but that store continues to be listed on their website even though many of us are complaining about the lack of cash back. I could go on and on but it’s frustrating that these guys haven’t been held accountable for this.
I tried uber eats once, it horrendously overpriced. I’m just gonna do my home cooking instead..
Thank you! Finally promoting a portal other than TCB.
We post about a lot of portals other than TCB, stop trying to say we don’t. We even let you post your constant complaints about TCB in every single thread even when it’s not relevant.
Thank you William! I appreciate it. I agree you post about other portals. But TCB gets top billing.
Can you please direct me to my comments that were not relevant to TCB in those posts? I try to keep my comments relevant to topic.
Pretty sure he was implying your complaints regarding TCB were not relevant to the deals they post..
Doc is practically the only honest deal blog out there which is probably why you’re here, so quit complaining about trivial shit. Go take ur passive aggressive whining to tpg.
TCB doesn’t get top billing, when Rakuten/eBates offers increased rates (and they often do) we post about it. We’ve tried to work with Rakuten and other portals to forgo our own commission and give readers a bigger sign up bonus and they refuse. TCB is the only one that is willing to do that so we happily post when they do. Your first comment in this thread is off topic as an example.
Worked when I used Uber Cash (included Amex Platinum credit and partial gift card balance)
Did your Uber cash cover the whole bill? or did you use credit card to cover some of it?
Uber cash for entire bill
Dosh also has 5%. Might be worth it if people need a little bit to meet cash out threshold.
