Get More Cash Back With Rakuten

life hacking Dec 15, 2022

Have you heard of Rakuten?

I just recently heard about it from a blogger that I follow.

It’s really cool!

You get cash back at many of the stores you already shop at when you buy through the app, their browser extension, or their website.

And they’ve got a great referral program where you & the person you refer get $30-40 when they spend their first $30-40 on the app.

I clicked on my friend’s referral link a few weeks ago & they had a $40 bonus at the time.

I’d been wanting some snow boots for our upcoming ski trip to Colorado (here’s the article I wrote about how we’re going skiing for nearly free).

The boots my wife showed me were like $200. I was thinking, “No way!” haha!

But, about a week later, they ran a Black Friday Sale for $150.

The Rakuten app gave me $40 to spend & also 15% cash back at the store where they were running the sale.

If you’ve been Travel Hacking for long, you know that good cash back cards give you 2% or maybe 3% cash back on most purchases. But the Rakuten app was showing 10-15% cash back on many popular online stores. Crazy!

I also sent my referral link to my wife to get an additional $40.

So, to get some snow boots that I’ll try to make last forever (haha), I spent:

$200 - $50 (Black Friday Discount) - $40 (Rakuten sign-up bonus by clicking on the blogger’s referral link) - $40 (referred my wife to Rakuten) - $22.50 (Rakuten 15% cash back)

Total = $47.50

Not bad!

Right now their referral promotion is $30 free for you & me if you click my link. Then once you sign-up, you can use your own referral link to keep racking up $30 free for each person you refer.

If you don’t use a referral link, it’s only $10, so definitely click the link!

I installed the Rakuten app on our phones & installed the browser extension on our Safari browsers.

It helps us see if we can get good cash back offers with the purchases we’re already making!

Enjoy the cash back!
