Quick Thoughts
We sometimes see rates of 30%-40% for Viator via Capital One Shopping. However, the earnings from that portal can only be redeemed for select gift card brands—it’s not true cashback.
If your Rakuten account is set up to earn cashback, you’ll get 20% which is true cashback. Alternatively, you can set your Rakuten account to earn American Express Membership Rewards points or Bilt Rewards points.
If your earning preference is Membership Rewards, you’ll earn 20X. With Bilt, you’ll earn 20X points if you have Silver status or higher in the Bilt Rewards program; if you only have entry-level Blue status with Bilt, it transfers on a 2:1 ratio and so you’d effectively be earning 10X.
There’s a new, targeted Viator Amex Offer giving $40 back when spending $250. Alternatively, there’s a Viator Chase Offer giving 8% back, but which doesn’t have a required spending threshold in order to trigger the statement credit.

C1 offers regular offers 30x or 35x miles for Viator/Trip Advisor. Seems like the better deal than Rakuten? Even with Bilt having better transfer partners, still seems like 50-70% more points is the better deal? C1 offers has a offer for Viator coming up Mon 7/27.
Did they change the multiplier?
I recalled it was supposed to be 22% for 7/22 in the initial promotion material.
