Discover how to earn points and cash back through Rakuten's enticing offers, maximizing every dollar you spend.
Discovering Rakuten
I never imagined that online shopping could yield so many rewards. Just by clicking a specific link, I can earn points or cash back in addition to the rewards from my credit card spending. In fact, there are times when companies offer such incredible deals that I find myself considering purchasing something I don’t really need.
Current Promotions
There are some fantastic promotions from Rakuten that I think are definitely worth participating in. However, these offers are limited and can end at any time, so if you want to benefit, act fast! I’ve mentioned similar promotions before, but these deals come around frequently. I just can’t resist the chance to earn rewards at such a rate!
Referral Bonuses
Rakuten currently has a referral program that rewards you with $50 (equivalent to 5,000 points). The offers I’ll discuss below are available for both new and existing Rakuten members. If you aren’t a member yet, sign up through the referral link to receive an additional $50 after your first purchase of $50 or more.
Potential to Earn Points
Right now, Rakuten is offering a whopping 95% cash back or 95 times the points on transactions with certain retailers. You can earn points when shopping with services like NordProtect, NordPass, and Surfshark. Be sure to check the “terms and exclusions” section on each link to know which transactions qualify, as they can vary by company.
Valuable Rewards
I love Rakuten because I can choose to earn points instead of cash, significantly increasing their value. If you opt for points from Amex Membership Rewards, you’ll get 1 cent for each point. Similarly, if you choose Bilt Rewards, you’ll receive a comparable rate. Notably, starting May 15, 2026, you will need to have Bilt elite status to enjoy this cash back rate.

Real-Life Example
Recently, I participated in a program with Surfshark. I spent $113.13 on their service package and received $107.47 back, or 10,747 Amex or Bilt points. The process was incredibly easy—just sign up for Rakuten, click the link to Surfshark, and ensure you see the 95% cash back offer.
Terms to Note
The main terms of this offer state that cash back is only applicable to new Surfshark customers on their first purchase. There’s a limit of one offer per member. If you want to maximize your points, I recommend purchasing the two-year package (which includes an additional three months free) for the Surfshark One+ plan.
Pricing and Benefits
The price for this package is $113.13, and you can pay with any credit card you wish. Once the transaction is completed, you’ll see the invoice appear as “pending” in your Rakuten account. After a while, it will update with the exact amount.
Why I Love Earning Points
I really enjoy accumulating reward points. If I have the chance to earn points at under 1.2 cents each, I won’t hesitate to participate. Especially if I can earn Bilt points with Rakuten, it means I can also earn rewards points from Alaska Airlines or World of Hyatt.
Conclusion
Currently, Rakuten is offering 95% cash back or 95 times the points on various services. If you’re a new member, you’ll also receive an additional $50 from the referral program. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to take advantage of these fantastic offers!
