Just did this for an Ink Preferred. Aaand got the notice to call Chase. They did eventually approve me, but I am skeptical that I’ll get the Rakuten bonus if I wasn’t approved while in the Rakuten app.

If you applied through the Rakuten app or on the Rakuten website, you should receive the cash back / AMEX MR points, even if you were not instantly approved. It may take a few days for your shopping trip / cash back to show up in your Rakuten account.
