Stephen reported the other day on increased cash back offers available in the Rakuten app, but today we’ve seen rates increase to 15% cash back or 15x Membership Rewards points on the desktop site at popular retailers like Dell, Saks Fifth Avenue, and shopDisney among others. You can also get 12% / 12x at other popular spots like Lenovo, Sixt rental cars, and many popular department stores.
The Deal
- Shopping portal Rakuten is offering increased rates today, including 15% back / 15x at Dell, Saks Fifth Ave, shopDisney, and other popular stores (and 12% / 12x at still many others)
- Direct link to this deal
If you’re new to Rakuten
Rakuten often has a referral bonus for signing up. The current bonus at the time of writing is $40 cash back or 4,000 Membership Rewards points for both sides when a new member signs up and spends $40 through the portal. If would like to use one of our referral links, you’ll find them below:
Keep in mind that while Rakuten shows payouts in terms of cash back, you can alternatively choose to earn Amex Membership Rewards points. If you have someone in your family who hasn’t yet signed up for Rakuten, it can be well worth referring them so you can both earn rewards.
Key Terms
- See individual stores for store-specific terms
Quick Thoughts
It’s always worth comparing using Cashbackmonitor.com to make sure you’re getting the best rate, though also keep in mind that portals will sometimes change rates mid-day during this shopping season, so it might also be worth directly checking your favorite portal(s).
This is obviously a great chance to stack with things like current Amex offers and Platinum card benefits like the Saks credit on Amex Platinum consumer cards ($50 between July and December) or the Dell credit on Amex Business Platinum cards ($200 between July and December).
