The Offer
- Rakuten is offering $40/4,000 when you sign up for a subscription with pdfFiller.
- If you choose the monthly subscription option, the basic plan costs $20 per month.
The Fine Print
- Cash Back is not available on free trials.
- Cash Back is only available on the first payment of a subscription plan and for new subscribers.
- Cash Back is not available on gift cards or purchases made with gift cards.
- Cash Back will be automatically added to your Rakuten account in a few days.
Our Verdict
Looks like a nice deal, should be an easy $20 moneymaker (perhaps a little less after tax). Hopefully it’s easy to cancel after the first month payment if you decide not to keep the subscription.
New Rakuten users can find our referral link in this post (the current signup offer is at $30/3,000 right now).

Got a "thank you for your payment" email this morning from pdfFiller that I have been charged $20 for the month subscription then 4.5 hrs later, received a "cha ching" email from Rakuten that I got the cash back.
I hadn't been billed yet, noticed that I got the 4000 points earlier today, rushed to cancel my subscription before it billed, canceled it, but a few minutes later got the $20 bill. Oh well, ~$20 MM
Thanks for the update about the points actually posting, was debating whether to keep or cancel
They charged my card $1.75 for "Support." So much for a 30 day free trial.
I got the same but saw they reversed the charge a day later. I'd dispute!
Now $15/15,000. No longer profitable.
damn. was waiting for positive reports about tracking.
Rakuten tracking shows zero cash back for me and I'm still in the 30 day free trial. If I stay past the free trial I'm unsure what cash back I will get back.
for me, $21.45 after tax.
$21.72 after tax.
I'm seeing $25 as the Basic Plan cost, not $20:

I also got it for $20 after switching to the Monthly tab
Going to your link and changing from yearly to monthly shows $20 for me.
Looks like no way to skip free trial? So basically need to wait for 2 months?
Hmm, I guess. Hopefully cashback will post right away or immediately after the first payment.
