How do I link an offer to my credit card?
Once you've added a valid credit card to your profile, go to Current Offers to view all available In-Store Cash Back offers. Find an offer, click 'Link Offer' and add to the card of your choice. Now you're ready to start earning In-Store Cash Back.
If I link an offer to my card, do I get In-Store Cash Back for every purchase I make?
No. Each time you link an offer, it is redeemable for a single in-store purchase only.
How many times can I link an offer?
The number of times an Rakuten In-Store Cash Back offer can be linked and redeemed is specific to each offer. See the "limit per person" in the offer’s terms and conditions. If an offer has a limit per person of 3, then you can link the offer up to 3 times and redeem it to earn Cash Back on 3 separate qualifying purchases. Cash Back will not be earned on subsequent in-store purchases.
Can I link an offer to multiple cards?
Yes. An offer can be linked to multiple cards up to the limit per person. However, an offer can be linked only once per card until it is redeemed. Once an offer has been redeemed, if there are remaining links available for the offer, it may be re-linked to a card. For example, if an offer has a limit of 3 links per person, and you have 2 cards registered with Rakuten, then you can link the offer to each of your registered cards for a total of 2 active offer links. Once you make a qualifying purchase and redeem the offer on one of the cards, you may relink the offer to that card, for a total of 3 links of the offer.
How can I see which offers I have linked to my cards?
You can easily see your current linked offers in Linked Offers.
If I make a purchase before I link an offer, will I still get Cash Back?
Unfortunately, no. You must link In-Store Cash Back offers to your credit card before you make a purchase to receive Cash Back.
How do I redeem an In-Store Cash Back offer?
Redeeming an In-Store Cash Back offer is simple. Once you've linked an offer to your credit card, simply use that card to make an in-store purchase that meets the terms and conditions of the offer. Remember, debit cards and debit transactions are not eligible for this program.
Do I need to present anything at the time of purchase?
No. That’s the best part! With Rakuten In-Store Cash Back, there are no coupons to clip, no vouchers to print, and nothing extra to present to the store at the time of purchase. Remember to use a credit card you’ve linked to the offer!
Do all purchases qualify for In-Store Cash Back?
Most in-store purchases at participating merchants are eligible for In-Store Cash Back. However, some stores may exclude certain products or categories from eligibility. For example, some merchants may not reward In-Store Cash Back for gift card purchases or for transactions within certain departments of the store, such as pharmacy or automotive, etc. Be sure to review the In-Store Cash Back Offer details for each of the offers you link to your payment card for any exclusions that apply.
When do offers expire?
Expiration dates are specific to each offer. Please see offer details for specific expiration dates.
What happens if an offer expires and I haven’t redeemed it?
