Review summary

Reviewers had a great experience with this company. Consumers appreciate the ease of use, especially with the browser extension, which makes earning cashback while shopping online simple. People also like the availability of special deals and higher cashback percentages, which can influence their purchasing decisions. Many users have received significant amounts of money back over time. However, some consumers have reported issues with cashback not being automatically applied, requiring them to manually submit requests with proof of purchase. Others have experienced delays in receiving payments, and some have had trouble receiving cashback for travel site bookings. There are mixed opinions about the value of the discounts compared to the effort required to opt-in for them. A few reviewers reported negative experiences related to refunds and orders.

It was great to receive some cash back on hotel prices that we paid on our trip to Switzerland, particularly as we were able to take advantage of the bonus 10% back offer! The hotels there are pricey,... See more

I love getting money back. The only down side is that I continually carry a balance… perhaps once a year you should cash out the entire balance so we aren’t carrying over an amount.

I LOVE Rakuten!

I LOVE Rakuten!! I never miss the opportunity to use it when shopping on line. It’s a user friendly app and I tell everyone to use it, I mean, why not get cash back for shopping!!

Why not use Rakuten, it helps.

I’ve been using ebates since it started. I always use it if there is a service that I’m ordering from online. I enjoy getting those big fat cheques.

It is usually good but there have been more than one occasion I bought items because of cash back and didn't get it. Your process to try to claim the cash back is too difficult as I couldn't do what was asked.

Easy to use. It’s an extra bonus for buying things that you already were purchasing

How can you not rate this 5 stars!

How can you not rate this 5 stars? Cashback adds up if you do it regularly. Since I began, I've got over $1,400.00 back. And I particularly like the tracker that tells you that.
Pro tip: When you click on a site that offers cash back, just be sure to read
what qualifies for cash back and what doesn't, or the conditions you must meet in order to get cashback. Then its all easy after that.
