Hi!
I will be paying through PayPal. So far my balance is still $69.99. Is the $40 Welcome Bonus subtracted later?
You will be given the cashback through Rakuten. It should be credited to your account in 48 hours or so.
Thank you!
Hi! I did not receive the Welcome Bonus for $40 (I only received $10 plus the $12.50). I was told that to receive the $40 Welcome Bonus, I had to use a referral link from a friend(even though I followed your directions). I did not see a referral link from you in your post (maybe I missed it)? This was the response when I contacted Customer Service.
*Hello Stephanie,
Thank you for your email. The $40 Welcome Bonus promotion was for members who signed up using a referral link.
If you were referred by someone, please reply with their email address.
If you were not referred by another member, you are only eligible for the $10 Welcome Bonus.
Thanks for your help!
I’m sorry but it looks like the deal has expired.
Disney never gave Rakuten my info and Rakuten says they can only give me the 12.50 cash back if Disney tells them. I talked to another friend that tried it and didn’t get the credit promised either and Rakuten told her there was nothing they could do about it, either. So… no 12.50 for me.
I’m sorry you had this problem. Usually this is based on cookies set when you sign into Rakuten and then click their links; that’s when the cookie is set that tracks the kickbacks.
