Get paid to shop for things you are going to buy anyways

Rating: 10 out of 10

November 7, 2024

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

It's so easy to use and unlike some other "cash back" platforms it works on items and stores that you regularly shop at. I just told my husband it's the best and he should sign-up to start saving some cash for new golf clubs! We both do a lot of on line ordering so why not get paid for it!

Pros

easy to use
mobile friendly
lost of options of where to shop and items to choose from

Likelihood to Recommend

Just bought an office chair and didn't even think about cash back rewards but luckily I have it installed on my desktop and I am getting $30 back! Just for buying something I needed. I love getting emails that CASH is being deposited in my account for shopping! I like to save it up and treat myself to something using the cash I have saved.

Rakuten Advertising

Rating: 7 out of 10

June 16, 2022

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

It allows businesses to reach a wider audience at a lower cost by choosing the most suitable influencer. Furthermore, it also lets influencers find companies to work with. You will be asked to provide some financial information for some details. You need to share relevant information for you to be connected to advertisers. I think that can become a security issue at times.

Pros

Run Reports on The Program Progress
The platform provides weekly payments

Cons

Reporting and Analytics

Likelihood to Recommend

The AI system used by the company is reliable and powerful. You can benefit from a unique mix of data collection strategies and analytical tools. The system is easy to navigate and will provide you with all the details you want to know about your campaigns.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

No issues at all. Super simple to use and it is literally FREE money, no strings attached. And we're buying things that we would literally buy anyway in the course of a week. Why would anyone NOT want to get free money?

Pros

Communication
Regular payouts
Exceptionally friendly floor staff (at least the ones I've interacted with).

Cons

Too many emails in my opinion.
Nothing else, really. They are pretty cool!

Likelihood to Recommend

Great company, clear communications, fast quarterly distributions and a fun way to get paid for shopping that you are already doing. I highly recommend this service. Why would you pass up the opportunity for free money? And the Chrome extension is a wonderful add-on! Great way to remind yourself when you are on a site that Rakuten honors.
