Hi there! I'm here to help you be smarter about shopping.
If you're going to spend money shopping, you might as well get money back while doing it. Am I right? I'm going to provide a STEP-BY-STEP guide with examples on how to get $30 while shopping through Rakuten. Let's get that money! 💰
Step 1: Sign Up for Rakuten (It’s Completely Free)
Click the sign-up link HERE and create your account (it takes less than 2 minutes).
Just use your email or connect via Facebook or Google for a super quick setup.


Step 2: Browse Your Favorite Stores 🛍️
Rakuten partners with over 3,500 stores including major brands like Target, Nike, Sephora, Nordstrom, Walmart (the list goes on).
Use the search bar or categories to find your go-to stores.


Step 3: Activate Cash Back 💸
Before you shop, click the store link on Rakuten's website to activate cash back.
This step ensures you’ll get credit for your purchases. Don't skip it!


Step 4: Make a Purchase of $30 or More 🎁
Add items to your cart and checkout as usual.
The $30 bonus applies when you spend $30+ before taxes and shipping.


Step 5: Get $30 Back 🎉
Rakuten will automatically track your purchase and apply the $30 bonus to your account.
You’ll also earn additional cash back from the store, making this deal even sweeter. What do I mean by this? I'll show you in a very simple way.
Example: Nike is giving 2% cashback. You buy a $30 shirt. As a first time Rakuten user, you will get $30 back (after spending $30) plus an additional $0.60 (2% of $30 shirt). In total you will get $30.60 back.
Step 6: Wait for Your Check or PayPal Deposit 💌
Your $30 bonus will appear in your Rakuten account after your purchase is confirmed (usually within a few days). I've provided an example of Rakuten's cash back acitivity page for reference.
🙌Rakuten pays out your cash back every quarter (typically in February, May, August, and November).
Choose between a PayPal payment, “Big Fat Check” mailed to your home, or via AMEX Memberships Rewards Points (if you have an AMEX account).
You’ll get notified by email once your bonus is processed—super easy!
Pro Tip to Maximize Savings + Bonus Points:
Combine Rakuten cash back with store promotions, coupons, or discount codes for even bigger savings.
Example: Use Rakuten at Target and apply Target Circle offers to stretch your dollars further.
Take advantage of credit cards that will give you extra points (>1x) when shopping. I like to use my Capital Venture X that gives me 2x on all purchases ✨
Hope this helps! Happy smart shopping!🛍️🤑
