This app is great at giving cash back for using companies through the Rakuten app. So easy to use so why not.

Great app and #1 leader in cashback

I just want to save my cashback and I HATE being forced to cash out during the mandatory cashout days when you reach the $10 minimum. I’ve personally saved $150 in one OTHER competitor cashback app; since they dont force payouts which reduces your cash balance to ZERO every 15th of Feb, May, Aug, & Sept. I made $530.53 lifetime on Rakuten; since 2015; but you wouldnt know it with the forced quarterly payouts. My 1 complaint is very minor; ALLOW ME TO SAVE CASHBACK with you. I want to decide when to cashout. It seems minor; but it’s the worst thing about Rakuten. And re-brand to Buy.com (You own that domain why not use it?) And the name “Rakuten” is dumb and fails the radio test which makes being #1 more impressive.
