Random Review Wednesday: Rakuten – an easy way to earn & save while you shop

Do you shop primarily online?

I’ve been a member of Rakuten since 2011, and in the past 9 years, I’ve earned over $3,100 simply for shopping through their system. No joke. And it’s really, really easy.

How does it work?

Rakuten offers shoppers cash back at over 2,500 stores. These stores pay Rakuten a commission for sending you their way and Rakuten shares the commission with you as cold, hard cash!

You can also find thousands of coupons, promo codes and exclusive deals at Rakuten. The great thing about using their codes is they actually work, unlike a lot of promo codes you find online, AND if you install the extension on your browser, Rakuten will alert you every time you’re on one of their stores’ pages, and will also apply coupons at checkout.

You can also add your credit cards for more automatic cash back, although I have not personally elected to do this.

Every quarter, Rakuten will mail you a “big fat check.”

These are my free money earnings from the past quarter: 

Using Rakuten is simple and free.
