Rakuten is a scam
Rakuten is a scam. They will advertise high cashback and then deny them later on either stating there was user error or the retailer just never paid Rakuten. It’s absolutely incredible that a company can advertise cashback, have their own systems confirm that the order was successful and cashback is now pending, and then weeks later turn around and say the order was ineligible (because the retailer never paid Rakuten). If I take a loan from a bank and I miss a payment because my employer fails to pay me on time, does that mean the bank is no longer eligible to receive my mortgage payments? No. For those of you who haven’t encountered issues just yet, congratulations and I hope this win streak for you continues. Just know that Rakuten’s bait and switch tactics are going to come for everyone. It’s only a matter of time.
