Cash-back and coupon shopping across thousands of online stores.

Rakuten is a shopping rewards service that gives members cash back or points when they buy through participating retailers, restaurants, and in-store offers. It combines a website, mobile app, and browser extension for finding cash-back rates, activating offers, and applying eligible coupon codes at checkout.

Why it stands out

  • Large partner network spanning online stores, in-store offers, and participating restaurants.
  • Browser extension reduces the chance of forgetting to activate cash back before checkout.
  • Rewards can stack with store sales, coupons, and credit card rewards when eligible.
  • Multiple payout choices make it more flexible than cash-only rebate sites.
  • Long operating history, with the site reporting billions paid to members since 1999.

Good to know

  • Cash-back rates and eligibility can change by store, category, and promotion.
  • Online rewards usually require shopping through Rakuten or activating the browser extension before purchase.
  • In-store and dining rewards require paying with a card linked to the Rakuten account.
  • Standard rewards are sent every three months unless using an eligible instant gift-card cash-out option.

Under the radar: Check the app before paying at a physical store or restaurant, because linked-card offers generally need to be found and activated before the purchase rather than claimed afterward.
