Rakuten is offering extra cash back in categories they are billing as “essentials” through the end of the month, though they tell us that this will possibly last even longer than that. They have split up increased offers into the following categories:
- Food & Drink
- Education & Digital Media
- Health & Fitness
- Home & Office
- Family & Pets
- Beauty & Apparel
- Direct link to all stores in this flash sale
While not all inclusions are necessarily “essentials”, they do mostly fit into things in which you may be interested as you sit at home social distancing.
As always, check cashbackmonitor.com to be sure you’re getting the best rate. That said, since Rakuten gives you the option to instead earn the same rates in Membership Rewards points rather than cash back, you may value these payouts more. If you’re not yet earning Membership Rewards points through Rakuten, remember that it is possible to change your earning preferences. Also see our guide to the Rakuten Visa with Membership Rewards. Everything you need to know.

How long does it usually take MR from Rakuten to post? I had earned some MR in Rakuten in Q4 but they’re still not in my AmEx account. I cannot find this info anywhere. They have guidelines on them sending cash to your account but nothing on MR
They send to MR the same date as it shows they would send cash back — you can find the schedule here:

My most recent points (from Q4 last year) came in on February 8th. You need to have at least 500 points earned in order to get the points. You can check your points history here and see if and when your points transferred over:
