Rakuten is holding a new member referral promotion that offers a grand prize of $3,000 and two runner-up prizes of $1,500 and $450.

RAKUTEN REFER-A-FRIEND GIVEAWAY

Current Rakuten members will be entered to win one of the three cash prizes with each new member they refer during the promotion period (August 1, 2021 – August 7, 2021) up to a total of five referrals.

Unfortunately, and to reiterate what is mentioned above, you must currently be a Rakuten member to take advantage of this promotion. You cannot become a Rakuten member now and take advantage of this sweepstakes…per the official terms, “Entrants must have a valid Rakuten account at the start of the Sweepstakes Period.” Which was August 1, 2021.

You can view the full Terms and Conditions associated with this promotion at this link.

REFERRAL BONUS AND GIVEAWAY ENTRY

But, if you are a current Rakuten member, not only can you receive an entry to this referral giveaway for each referral you make up to 5, but you’ll receive the regular sign-up referral bonus of $30 for each referral, too.

If you are able to max out your referrals during this promotion, you’ll earn $150 cash back just from the sign-up referral bonuses and receive 5 entries to the Refer-a-Friend Giveaway where you could win a $3,000, $1,500 or $450 cash prize.

All for having your friends join Rakuten so they can save money every time they shop.

And, don’t forget, as an incentive to get your friends and family to join, they’ll receive $30 cash back, in addition to the cash back they’ll earn shopping, after they spend $30 via Rakuten partner retailers.

And, while not quite as exciting as the cash prizes, you could win one of 250 swag bags when you successfully refer someone to Rakuten.

Again, this referral promotion runs through Saturday, August 7, 2021, at 11:59 p.m.

Prize winners will be selected on or around September 15, 2021, and will be notified by email or telephone using the information provided at the time of entry.

Just to be safe, I’d not count on your friends and/or family to join Rakuten in time if you wait until the last minute to refer.

Better to target individuals you think might be interested in Rakuten and give them plenty of time to run through the Rakuten sign-up process.

And, this should go without saying, but new referrals must use your Rakuten generated referral link to sign up. You can sign-in to Rakuten and get your invite links below.

Once again, new referrals will not be eligible for this giveaway. You must have been a Rakuten member on August 1, 2021.

But, if you’re not already a Rakuten member and you want to join to grab the $30 sign-up bonus and be ready for any future Rakuten promotions, you can use our referral link below. We’ll receive $30 for each referral that signs-up and completes a qualifying purchase of $30 or more within 90 days. And, of course, an entry to the Refer-a-Friend Giveaway.

WRAP UP

Rakuten is offering a referral promotion with cash prizes of $3,000, $1,500 and $450.

Each new referral current Rakuten members make will provide an entry for the giveaway. Members are limited to 5 referrals/entries.

And, not only will new referrals result in entries for this giveaway, but also a $30 per referral bonus for you.

So, this can be a nice money-maker in addition to a chance to win $3,000, $1,500 or $450.

Not a bad promotion.

Good luck, everyone!
