Rakuten, formerly known as Ebates, has a unique program that allows its customers to also earn points instead of cashback while shopping using their portal.
An offer that was reserved only for new Rakuten members, this lucrative rewards option is now available to everyone.
So how much do you earn?
1% cash back is equal to 1 Membership Rewards point for every $1 spent through Rakuten.
What does this mean?
Here’s a little math for you.
Say you spend $100 via Rakuten.
And if the cashback is listed as 10%, that’s 10X AmEx points per dollar spent.
So, for every $100, you get $10 cashback or 1000 AmEx points.
That’s 1000 points towards your next travel!
This is in addition to the points you will earn on your credit card for your purchase.
