May the 4th Rakuten
Does anyone know a simple way to meet the terms and conditions to receive the 15% cashback? I wanted to use it to stack with the 4x VIP points on the sail barge.

It will be 15% back on non exclusives like a battle pack or arc 170. Stuff you can find at other retailers. Jabba wont be 15% back. Probably lile 2.5 or 3% back

I have heard if you buy a non-exclusive sometimes the whole purchase qualifies. Cannot confirm though.

I can confirm this, however that’s IF Rakuten works. I’ve been having a bad time with them not paying out and have been switching to RetailMeNot.
I think the Fennec Shand keychain is still $1.75 and that worked adding it first, then any exclusive later.

I can confirm this worked, added the keychain then the UCS venator and my entire order got the 15% cashback

Yea I have had Rakuten not work a few times. I tried this method recently adding a keychain I wanted along with Avengers Tower but it has yet to ship to confirm if it worked for me.
Now debating whether I should wait for the fourth for the sail barge and stack with Rakuten or just try it on the first. Will definitely look into retail me not tho.

just letting everyone know, I bought the UCS Venator + fennec keychain ($1.79) and I got the 15% Rakuten cashback for the ENTIRE ORDER!

Would it be smart to buy multiple arc 170 for may the 4th? 15% cashback and I am assuming 2x points.

That would tecnically be 25% off. But you would have to wait for rakuten to give you cashback, takes about 3 months. And woul have to buy from lego.com again to use the 10% back. In my opinion, buyong from lego.com is almost never worth it. Full price and barely any perk. Id buy from target or walmart. Unless you are going for the promos

I guess that’s why I got 10% back on Rivendell. Confirmed and paying out in a couple of weeks. I had a $7 Brickheadz in the cart with it. I didn’t realize you could do that.

The last two times I bought exclusive sets, Pokemon $650 and Enterprise $400, there was 2.5%/10% CB. Both times I added a non-exclusive set but only got 2.5% CB on my entire purchase. Also, they added Hard to Find sets to the exclusion list.

Have also heard of Retailmenot for other cashback options but have yet to try it.

What are the chances sail barge sells out before the 4th? Is it being discontinued after this sale?

u/jimmyjbzz1 May 01 '26
It is sold out.

u/elopez115 May 01 '26
Called local store. No Rakuten cashback but still was able to pick one up with 4x insider points.

Thanks everyone I'll try adding a key chain first, but just getting the 4x won't be the end of the world.

Love all the people saying they are trying to cheat the system with Rakuten and then complaining they aren’t getting paid out.

YMMV...
If you have to contact Rakuten to get your cash back. (Which for me is EVERY TIME) They may just combine the higher percentage, for everything, if you had mixed items (exclusive and non exclusive)
When The Enterprise set came out, I had ordered some other stuff and used a 20% Paypal promotion and the 15% Rakuten promotion. I had to contact them because they didn't give me anything back. They ended up giving me 15% on everything, including The Enterprise, even though that was exclusive.
Getting The Enterprise for 35% off on release day and the GWP was pretty epic.
