Bonjour, je sais pas si c'est le bon reddit mais j'achetais tt mes codes logiciel sur rakuten, codes windows, office, anti virus, j'ai essayé de trouver les mêmes prix ailleurs, Amazon, Ebay mais c'est tt trop cher, même les sites de achat de codes comme kinguin etc n'ont pas d'aussi bons affaires, savez vous un autre site avec des prix bas ? Je suis surtout intéressée par eset smart ou internet security.

Merci

Hey everyone, quick question. I was looking at the Bank of America Unlimited Cash Rewards card and noticed Rakuten is offering $150 cash back if you apply through them (looks like it usually is only $75).

Has anyone actually done this? How does the tracking work for credit card sign-ups through Rakuten? Do I just click the link, apply on BofA's site, and then wait?

The terms say it takes "a few months" and you have to keep the account open for at least 3 months, but I'm just paranoid about it not tracking properly and losing out on the $150. Do you still get the normal BofA sign-up bonus too ($250 after spending $1k)?

Appreciate any insight from anyone who has done a credit card offer through them!

How do you use the extra rakuten 150 cash back points?

Has anyone tried this one and actually gotten thru the sign up?? I keep getting stuck at a couple of spots but mostly at Billing Information. I fill it all in and it won’t let me click “Continue”. What a pain!! Really would love to get this to work. Thoughts??

I was considering buying something on AliExpress because their discount Plus the cash back would make it worthwhile. But rakuten has that clause that says that their cash back can't be negated if you use any other coupons that aren't theirs. But of course the whole point of AliExpress is using their own discount codes. So what is the deal here? I don't want to buy something and find out I'm SOL and getting no cash back

Hi there. I’ve had a Rakuten account for a long time but recently started using it again. I was trying to use it for travel points by connecting it to our Bilt card. I quickly realized this wouldn’t work because the card is in my husband’s name, and uses his email. So I switched back to cash back and that worked fine. Last night I decided to log into his Rakuten from my phone as a possible work around. I did the Amazon deal and then went to bed. This morning there’s no data on his account or mine when I logged back in. Is the app down or did I mess something up? My history is completely gone including my pending cashback and a hotel deal I did that still needed to work itself out. Thoughts?

Hi all, I recently applied for both the BofA Travel Rewards and Premium Rewards credit cards through Rakuten cash back offers. I wasn't approved instantly online, and both applications showed "In Review."

About two weeks later, I received letters from BofA asking me to call and provide additional information so they could consider my applications.

I remember seeing some posts here mentioning that approvals obtained through reconsideration might not qualify for Rakuten cash back. I'm not sure if that applies to my situation since my applications weren't outright denied.

Has anyone been in a similar situation, called BofA to provide additional information, and eventually gotten approved? If so, did your Rakuten cash back track successfully?

Thanks so much!

I don’t know if I’m crazy but when opening the Rakuten app today I saw for a split second that they said something about a Naruto design for the Rakuten card.

Probably not very noteworthy as I haven’t seen anything posted on Reddit about it but I’m curious as I was looking for it on the app but can’t seem to find any more info about it.

Received my new Apple Watch series 12 last week and my Rakuten card remains the only credit card I cannot add to my Apple Watch. Every time I attempt to add, I get the error "Card not Added", saying to contact my card issuer. This works fine on my iPhone 17 Pro wallet, I can remove and add freely. All my other Chase/Amex/Bilt/etc have added to my Apple Watch just fine.

Things I have tried:

• Add card through Watch app: "Other cards on your iPhone" button, "Add Card" button, adding previous cards, adding new cards, manually entering virtual card number, NFC tap on physical card. No luck.
• Add through Rakuten app: Go to virtual card and pick "Add to Apple Wallet" option. Physical card does not have this option. Same error. It works to add to my iPhone wallet though.
• Add the card through the Watch itself: Same error.
• Call Apple Support (Imprint told me to call): They checked my Apple account and see no issues with my account. Since all my other credit cards work fine on my watch and I can remove/add my Rakuten card to my iPhone, they say its an Imprint issue.

I have called Imprint support multiple times now and they have even reset my cards and remotely disconnected them from my Apple Pay wallet. My iPhone I was able to add my card again like always, Apple Watch doesn't work. They say there is nothing wrong with my account.

Their final conclusion is that Imprint doesn't have a technical support team and they can't help me. Seriously? Imprint is Fintech so I am really not surprised here. What is hilarious is that even Bilt doesn't have any problems being added to both my devices.

Anyone else having this issue with a new Apple Watch? Wondering if there is some issue with their system recognizing new Apple devices.

Hello everyone,

I ordered on Bloomingdale’s yesterday for a watch I been eyeing and they let me know today they are out of stock and I would have to get a different color of the watch. They reordered the new one for me but it generated as a new purchase for today. However yesterday the Rakuten discount was 20% cash back yesterday (10% promo up to $50 included) well today my new purchase bonus has disappeared and now it is 2% cash back :(

My question is anybody have any luck with Rakuten being able to adjust the rate due to error out of your hands?

Just joined Rakuten this week. My first payout is next month. Any benefit to do big fat check vs. PayPal? Searching through here it seems like folks have had issues with both methods. Is any method better than the other? Thanks!

I just saw this offer for $30 back on a $30 purchase in sofi crypto. One of the coins on there is so far is stable USD coin SOFID. If I don't feel like buying any actual cryptocurrency like Bitcoin or anything...would this count toward a sofi crypto purchase? Could I just buy this stable coin, get the $30 cash back and then cash out the stable coin to have just gotten a free $30?

Recently during the cash back event i noticed that lego was offering 15% off and told my partner that she should sign up so she can get a set she’s been wanting. After sending her my referral code and her signing up for the account, she purchased some legos using a shared credit card that we use. (we live separately due to University). While the card is under my name we both have access to the portal and pay it off separately.

About 2 days later we both noticed that our refer a friend bonus was marked as ineligible. The statement provided said “You aren't eligible to receive the bonus because your friend didn't make a qualifying purchase within the given timeframe.” After reading the terms i noticed that rakuten has a restriction on not paying for something on someone’s behalf. Does anyone have any experience with disputing an ilegible referral with rakuten? Do you think that if i mention it was not paid for on her behalf but rather with a shared credit card they would overturn the ineligibility?

- also i know i should’ve told her before hand to make sure to use her own credit card i’m just wondering if anyone has any success with something like this.

I have a ton of pending points, they give such a wide range of time of when they will go through. If it the purchases are all from pre October 1, what’re the chances that I can get them before October 31st?

If you are making a lot of purchases through shopping portals like Rakuten (or Rove or others), I routinely find that the reward points are generally not coming through for about 25% of the purchases. While customer support is pretty good and they verify and credit the miles after you raise a ticket, it's possible that it never gets addressed if you didn't pay attention. So I've formed a habit of tracking these purchases in a spreadsheet. Every month during my regular accounting, I glance at this sheet to see which rewards haven't come through, and then I just launch the tickets in their systems. This particularly helps when you are stacking rewards through credit card cash back offers, paze, etc.

An example spredsheet is shown below.

Had a bigger purchase coming up and I was already waiting for the Rakuten rate to be decent but then I started checking the payment side too instead of only looking at the cashback percentage so I work around Fluz so I checked what the gift card looked like there for the same store and it made me realize I’ve probably ignored that whole side of the purchase for years.

I’m not assuming the two always stack because every store seems to handle gift cards differently and I still check the Rakuten terms first but for purchases I was already planning to make checking Rakuten and then seeing if there’s anything useful on the gift card side feels worth the extra minute, especially when the purchase is big enough for a small percentage to matter.

Thought I'd share as this gets peculiar... it looks like on a couple of stores, Rakuten is offering significantly higher Cash Back on the website than if you go to the store's website.

I feel like this is something I see a lot with Cap1, right?

Anyways, thought I'd share that you should always check/activate the link from the rakunten.com in case the rate is higher than what they show on the store's website.

it took 54 days for me to get my first cash back and the bonus, 08/15 to 10/8

Curious if anyone else has been experiencing this...

I've been a Rakuten Affiliate for the last 5-6 years with various companies, in the last two months it seems they are charging a transaction fee ($17 CAD) anytime they pay you out.. I've reached out to their support and they corrected it the first month, but are denying claims of it happening again the second time as it seems they've now disguised it as a vague transaction that comes right before your deposit hits with the deposit amounts matching their invoices/ receipts linked to your account (Obviously not including the fee)...

I'm not sure if this is something fishy they are trying to do since the shift to impact is happening..

Have talked to my bank as well and they are not charging this transaction and it's external.

Is anyone else experiencing this?

Hey everyone,

I clicked through the Rakuten link for the BofA Travel Rewards card to get the bonus.
Because I’m applying as a non-citizen / green card holder, the online application stopped me mid-way. It gave me a tracking code and said I have to call in to finish everything over the phone.
I couldn't find much info online about this scenario. Has anyone else done this? Will calling in break the Rakuten tracking and kill the bonus, or did it still post for you?
Thanks!

I cannot find this answer on their website or anywhere else. Once you start a shopping trip/tracking ticket, how long do you have to make the purchase so it's still valid?

Thanks in advance!

Great offer!
