Scammed

My referral bonus was denied after 2 months of being in pending status. No real reason why. I shopped at Sam’s for groceries. I didn’t take anything back. Doesn’t make sense to me. They advertise getting cash back at certain stores then put your purchase as pending and then deny it . I will not be referring friends. Most transactions take 14 weeks before you actually receive cash back

Fantastic rewards app

I’ve been using Rakuten for a few years now and have earned over $1500 just by stopping by Rakuten before I navigate to the sites I’m planning on shopping. Highly recommend!
