How Rakuten Pays You
Rakuten earns affiliate commissions from retailers when you shop through their platform and shares a percentage of this commission with you as cashback. Payments arrive quarterly by cheque or PayPal. There are no subscription fees, no minimum spend requirements and no limit to how much you can earn.
Activating Elevated Cashback Rates
Rakuten regularly features Double Cashback and Triple Cashback events at specific retailers for limited periods. Installing the Rakuten browser extension provides notifications when you visit a participating retailer during an elevated cashback event.
Combining With Coupon Codes
Rakuten cashback works simultaneously with coupon codes at most retailers as the commission tracks on the final purchase amount after discounts. Apply your coupon code at checkout as normal while having activated Rakuten through the browser extension before visiting the retailer. Both savings apply in most cases creating compound savings.
