Rakuten: Mel Science, $7 Money Maker

The Offer

Direct link to offer

  • Rakuten is offering $30 cashback when you sign up for Mel science. You can use promo code SUPER60 for 60% off

Our Verdict

First month costs $23 with shipping, making this a $7 money maker. Some of these science boxes are great, some are awful. At least with this promo you are getting paid to try it.

They originally disqualified my order for cashback, I sent them like 10 different messages and follow ups and they just now awarded my 3K MR.

Rakuten gave me the final decision that it didn’t qualify. Not sure anything can be done past that.

Rakuten didn’t track the bonus and now I’m fighting with them over it. I have the screenshot of the offer and the details….Rakuten is sometimes a major hassle

I think I got the same exact message as you did. Apparently my order didn’t qualify..

My order did not track either. I used an approved code. No ad blockers. I get the impression that the resistance is coming from MEL Science.

Anyone save a screenshot with Rakuten listing SUPER60 as one of their codes?

Order was cancelled. According to them I requested the cancelation but that was bull.

Anyone been able to pause their subscription to avoid receiving subsequent orders? I keep receiving the following message:

“This area is under maintenance, please reach out to our Customer Support for the most accurate information on your subscription and to make any changes that you would like!”

Got the same message. I had to email them to unsubscribe. They responded back quickly and my account is now unsubscribed.

CHRISTMAS knocks $20 off, which is better than the (now invalid?) super60 code!

Is it also tracking at Rakuten? That promo code isn’t one listed.

says you cant use other promo codes not listed on Rakuten. Which is unfortunate, because “CATALYST” makes the entire first box free other than taxes and shipping

Hmm. That sucks if true. I used Catalyst and it shows as tracked at this moment in time. Hopefully it dosen’t reverse.

I did 2 separate orders, both tracked with Rakuten for 3,000 MRs. One code was Catalyst and another code was Holiday50

Interesting. Did for P1 and P2 yesterday. So far P1 tracked using HOLIDAY50,but P2 did not track using CATALYST

Same. I went ahead and did the HOLIDAY50 code. Total with shipping and taxes was 28.15
