Update: Also keep in mind that Dosh is still offering 6% back. That should stack if you link that with your card in advance.
Rakuten is offering 10% cash back or 10x Membership Rewards points at a number of stores today, including Staples. That’s a terrific return that would stack with the new Amex Offer we reported earlier that’s good for 10% back. Note that you will not likely receive a portal payout on gift card purchases.
The Deal
- Shopping portal Rakuten is offering 10x / 10% back today at many stores, including Staples.com
New to Rakuten?
- New members who join the Rakuten shopping portal at this link (our referral) can get 3,000 Membership Rewards points (or $30 if you prefer to earn cash back) after making a qualifying purchase of $25 or more within 90 days of becoming a new member
Key Terms
- Cash Back is not available on gift cards and HP Printers, Ink and Toner.
- Cash Back not available on items that are placed in the Staples shopping cart prior to clicking through from Rakuten.
Quick Thoughts
Keep in mind that you probably won’t get any rewards for a gift card purchase. Still, if you need to buy something else that Staples sells, it would be great to stack 10x Membership Rewards points (if you choose to earn points through Rakuten) with 10% back via the new Amex Offer. Getting both $40 and 4,000 Membership Rewards points back on a single purchase could be a great deal if Staples sells something you want or need.

Staples usually excludes many items like printers and scanners and other “technology” items from cashback portals. Rakuten is not showing this restriction with this promo which is great!
Dosh is also offering another (stackable) 6X as well. Staples has many back to school essentials marked down. If you’re shopping for back to school items, today looks to be a good day do it.
