Quick Thoughts
These increased rates are sure to appeal to many people given the wide breadth of stores included. There are quite a few options under “Travel”, though be sure to check the key terms for each store carefully. For instance, Hotels.com is only offering 10% back on hotels in Los Angeles, Orlando, and Miami.
There are tons of other stores included as well, from electronics retailers like Lenovo, HP, LG, and Samsung to clothing and other specialty retailers. There are even some in-store options for 10% back / 10x. Be sure to check our current Amex Offers database for opportunities to stack even more savings.

Used it on my business rewards account. Got nothing on either end. Why?!!!
Too bad rakuten can’t be accessed while in Belgium, can only get to the French site and can’t login. Wanted to purchase viator through rakuten for current trip 🙁
Use a VPN (e.g., NordVPN)
When does the deal end?
do you think buying IHG points with their 100% match will stack with Rakuten 10x ??
Nope. That purchase is processed by points.com, not by IHG. You won’t get 10x on that.
Topcashback has 2.52% on IHG @ Points.com
It’s under “IHG Rewards Club”
I always use a $500 Visa or MC Gift card that I got on a Meijer Promo for even more “stackery”
