Rakuten Big Stack 2025 Event + Best EVER $50 Referral Bonus to Join (AKA How To Get Rewarded For Shopping)
Did you know that there’s a way to earn cash back when shopping (at retailers such as Safeway, Target, Sam’s Club and many more)?
Rakuten 2025 Big Stack Event is starting from October 6 – October 8, when you can earn even higher cash back amounts!
And by joining Rakuten now and spending at least $50, you can earn the best ever $50 referral bonus!
What is Rakuten?
Rakuten is a shopping portal that allows you to earn cash back when booking travel, doing your holiday shopping or even opening bank accounts! If you are doing any of these activities, it will be eye opening to see how much money you could be putting back in your pocket!
For all of the details on Rakuten, check out my review/how to use post including what else you can earn cash back on, how you get paid and more!
How does it work?
If you’ve never used a cash-back shopping site or are just curious in general, you may be asking yourself how this works so here you go:
- If you are new to Rakuten,you can get $40 for signing up!
- You will then search for the merchant on Rakuten to see if they offer cashback (ie unfortunately Costco and *Amazon are two popular retailers that do not participate -*every once in a while, you can earn some cashback when Amazon pops back onto the portal but it’s not often)
- Either click on the Rakuten extension and activate the cash-back for the store OR Click on the store to activate cash back on the app*
- Rakuten will add a ‘tracking cookie’ as you make your purchase on the merchant’s site
- Once the purchase is processed and the order information is sent to Rakuten, you will be notified that cash back has been added to your account.
- You get paid by Rakuten every three months for any cashback earned and confirmed
Beautiful Tip: I strongly suggest using the app for your purchases as the tracking is more seamless but if choose not to or like to shop from a computer, you should definitely add the Rakuten extension to Chrome (unfortunately Safari security makes it harder to track purchases so I use Chrome if shopping via browser).
Another question you may have what is the cost? There isn’t any as it is free to join and there are no fees to use!
TLDR version: You shop with one small difference being that you do it through Rakuten. They get paid by the store for your business and then pay you in return for shopping through them – this is why the tracking cookie is so important!
