[Expired] [Targeted] Rakuten Visa: 4x/6x Points At Grocery Stores, Restaurants, Mobile Wallets With No Limit (6/1-6/30)

Deal has ended, view more Rakuten deals by clicking here.

Update 6/4/20: Confirmed that this is targeted. Hat tip to FM

The Offer

No direct link, targeted offers, check your emails

  • Earn 6% Cash Back on grocery stores, restaurants, and mobile wallet purchases with your Rakuten Visa Card during the month of June.
  • Others got 4% instead of 6%.

It’s the base 1% earn, plus an additional 5%/3%, respectively.

The Fine Print

  • In order to qualify for this offer, you must make qualifying grocery store, restaurant and mobile wallet purchases (minus any returns or adjustments during the promotional period) with your Rakuten Cash Back Visa Credit Card that post to your Card account by 6/30/20.
  • Please allow up to 90 days after the promotional period ends for the 6% Cash Back to post to your Rakuten Cash Back account.
  • Only one offer per account.
  • Transactions within other establishments (i.e. supercenters or warehouse clubs) may not apply. Synchrony does not evaluate whether merchants correctly identify and bill transactions, however, they do reserve the right to determine which transactions qualify for this offer. See the Credit Card Addendum to the Rakuten Cash Back Shopping Program Terms for other details and exclusions. Purchases subject to credit approval.

Our Verdict

I’m not seeing any limit here which makes this a pretty incredible deal for those who got the 6% offer. Even the 4% is pretty interesting for an unlimited deal. Both of these deals are potentially worth much more if you value Membership Rewards points more than cash and you have the points version of the Rakuten account, e.g. at a 1.5 cents valuation, these offers are worth 9% or 6%, respectively!

Not sure if all Rakuten Visa cardholders got one of these offers or if it’s targeted with some people getting no offer at all; check your emails.

Can somebody share what the subject line of the targeted email is? I don’t believe I was targeted unfortunately. Thanks

In 7 apple pay attempts (some $500, some $30 or less) they’ve approved one. Why have a promo if you won’t allow any charges through???

I’ve had this card for a few years now. $15k limit and it gets little to no use. A few bucks every 6 months or so for activity. Would have loved to get targeted for this offer. Damn Synchrony! LOL!

I used to use Ebates when it was SIMPLE. Rakuten is too complicated. They made me change my password. Rakuten is too complicated. Rakuten credit card has been sock drawer for a long time.

I just remembered that you can link this card or other cards to make IN store purchases and get benefits.

Which credit cards and benefits will be best when people avoid stores and malls?

Who will be the best credit card? I want simple and friendly and EASY benefits.

Damn them making you change the password. Bastards!
For simple, friendly and EASY benefits, you should look at a Discover or Capital One cashback card – although I hear even those banks make you change passwords occasionally.
I hear cash in the wallet doesn’t require a password. That might be a better choice.

I got the 4% offer. I opened the card in November and have only used it for sporadic online purchases.

This is completely unrelated but is anyone else finding DoC not refreshing correctly? Posts are not always coming up as they appear and comments too…this post still says “2 comments” for me but when I click it’s up to 8. Anyone else having these issues?

Yes. Have the same issue in Chrome browser, but no issues in Firefox browser.

Yup – confirmed on Firefox. Blocking cache access doesn’t seem to have fixed it. It goes away if I load the site in private mode.

Is this CC strict about what purchases qualify for the 6% CB? Such as VGCs?
