Thieves
December 11, 2024

They never pay what you actually earned. I have yet to have a single transaction pay what was advertised. Even after purchases have been verified they just delete the payout for no reason. 100% scam!

Les vendeurs professionnels sur ce site ne sont pas fiables. Un vendeur pro (jinliangshop) m'a vendu un téléphone qui est tombé en panne deux mois après l'achat. Je lui ai renvoyé le téléphone pour réparation, mais depuis, il fait silence radio, et il m'est impossible de porter plainte. Rakuten se désiste de toute responsabilité. A absolument éviter si vous voulez avoir une garantie.

May 7, 2024

Rakuten team are the best service I've come across in the US. We are refugees from Ukraine and we are very grateful to Rakuten for such joy as excellent service, impeccable work, patience, respect for the client and professionalism.
I will be happy to buy everything only through the Rakuten service. This is a great savings and a great pleasure to know them! Thank you Susan!

So annoying!
January 30, 2024

This is the most annoying app ever. Crap pops up every time I visit a website. My credit card company does a much better job of finding deals, without the constant interruptions.
They make is impossible to cancel the service. I had to contact customer service several times, each time replying to stupid questions like "what country do you live in?". Why does it matter? I gave you my account number and you verified! Then they walk you through a ridiculously long process to "request" cancellation.
All that BS and now it says it could take up to 45 days.Give me a break. Just have a delete button like everyone else.

They boast a 25% cashback if I buy something from Temu, which I did. I was sure the system activated this cashback just before purchase. However, they never sent me this cashback, despite my multiple attempts to claim it. First they tried to play stupid by simply repeating the info I already submitted a few times, then they didn't even bother to reply in the end. I will let both Temu and other customers know how dishonest and unreliable they are.

Awful company
January 28, 2024

Unbelievable. I'm still in disbelief. I racked up quite a bit using Ebates and was diligent every time. Went through their website and most times I had to manually fill out their form with all the info, including the subtotal, merchant, order confirmation email. When it came time to pay the "big fat cheque" they literally shut down my account and refused to pay me claiming that the orders weren't placed properly

Rakuten sucks
January 12, 2024

I was a loyal Rakuten member until they terminated my account out of nowhere. I asked for proof of the reasonings and they said they didn't have to provide any. Their terms and conditions say they can terminate "for any reason or no reason." So basically for no reason your account can be terminated.

After 12 months, they will debit you $5 until your balance is 0. I did not see this in the initial terms... I feel maybe they retroactively added it, or I may be confused? Either way they took my cashback and made it disappear.

Rakuten doesn't pay
March 20, 2024

I used to have good results getting my cash back but it's changed. I had a purchase on 9/2/2024 and it was supposed to be $15.90 cash back and for 2 it says pending they never got it confirmed even though I got an email showing I received my rewards. I've sent probably 15 messages and they just reply someone will get back to yo and they never do. I wouldn't even fool with Rakuten anymore it's not worth the frustration.

Not happy I keep having issues with stores confirming my orders and cash back not getting added to my account within the time frame it says. I'm tired of reaching out to Rakuten bc of that. Also don't like some of Rakutens agents being unfriendly or not helpful. I also have expected a few checks to be larger than they they are. Feel like there is some kind of mistake happening to where I am not getting the right amount.
