I’ve used Rakuten since 2019, but this and last year have been terrible. Every time I try to buy using PayPal, I get sent back to the start or see errors like “no permission.” I’ve cleared cache, reinstalled, and even contacted support — nothing helped. It’s frustrating, even when cashback is good. Thinking of switching to a more reliable app.

Unable to add local stores and restaurants to app. Get apps something went wrong message. You can register only on the app for restaurants. This error prevents you from earning points when dining out in the restaurant. I loaded the app on more than one phone in hopes of fixing this without success. No help on their website or chat. Reddit has several threads with others having same issue. Starting to believe it is a scam to force you to do online only orders.

We are aware of an issue impacting certain Visa, Mastercard, and American Express branded cards from being able to be enabled for use in the In-Store and Dining programs. Our development team is working on a solution, but is unsure when it will be resolved at this time. Please email us at socialhelp@rakuten.com so we can look into your account.

Used to be good, but now it's just a huge waste of time and a massive rip off. Cashback stays pending until it becomes so old in your history, that it disappears from your log, and then you don't even know what what happened to it. Also, customer service used to be good. It was easy to get your cash back fixed. Now, they just give you the run around. I'm about done with them. Don't waste your time using them!

It typically takes 3–14 weeks for pending Cash Back to be confirmed. This waiting period exists in case of returns, exchanges, exclusions or other changes to the order(s). We always want our Members to receive the Cash Back from their eligible purchases! Please reach out to our team at socialhelp@rakuten.com so we can help you out.
