(EXPIRED) Dell and Lenovo at 10x / 10% back via Rakuten

Rakuten is offering increased cash back rates at a number of stores as a “Black Friday in July” promotion. This week, it includes Dell and Lenovo each at 10% back or alternatively 10 American Express Membership Rewards points per dollar if you set up your Rakuten account to earn Amex points. These can make for great stacks for those with credit card rebates and Amex Offers to use.

Key Details

• Make sure to pay close attention to the terms on any specific retailer for exclusions

Quick Thoughts

These rates will likely be today-only. It is worth noting that these are not the highest cash back rates we ever see for Dell or Lenovo, but they could be timely if you have a need to place an order. For example, those with the Business Platinum card receive up to $100 in statement credits between July and December for purchases at Dell. Furthermore, there is an Amex Offer that may stack for 10% back on top of the 10x / 10% via Rakuten. That could make today a good day to make a purchase.

Alternatively, keep in mind that there is also an Amex Offer good for 15% back at Lenovo (up to $100 back). That could also make for a really nice stack here if you’re in the market for a new laptop.

Many other retailers are also available at increased rates, though check Cashbackmonitor for comparisons and historical rates to be sure you’re getting a good deal.
