Review summary

Michelle was great in helping resolve the issue I had. I was away by the time I went to deposit the cheque, it was dated more than 3 mos, the bank was not able to deposit it. Explaining the situation, Michelle, coordinated for the reissue of payment, and with the direct deposit option now, it got deposited into my account. Along the way, she updated me, and was very courteous in our interactions. Very helpful and willingness to help.

Rakuten has become complicated to use

I regularly shop online, making use of the Rakuten button on every purchase. I am unable to understand why, on occasion, the cashback is accepted and I receive the cashback, but most of the time it is seemingly cancelled and I do not receive the cashback. This has been a recurring issue, to the extent that I am nearly dissuaded from even continuing.

Rakuten is great

I always love rakuten..since it was ebates.
There is always lots of business on their website to chose to shop cash back from.

I rarely have issues on getting my cash back but when I do they are very efficient and fast at getting back to me. I really appreciate that.

I wish they would offer my cash back going to Amazon again.

Great rebate program!

Been using Rakuten for over 5 years and have accumulated lots of cash back returned to me which is a huge help for a family of 5. From everyday purchases at Walmart to big purchases at Best buy or travel deals, it helps to have every cent saved. Thank you so much for the wonderful experience and I look forward to many more pleasant shopping experience and more money returned.
