Here’s an Easy Way to Earn Some Money This Holiday Shopping Season

Rakuten, the cash back earning site, is offering an increased sign-up bonus of $40.

Rakuten’s holiday shopping season promo is offering new members a $40 sign up bonus when $40 or more is spent on qualifying purchases made via the various retailer’s Rakuten link. New members will not only earn the $40 sign-up bonus, but also the cash back that’s being offered by the individual retailer when you shop.

Outside of the $40 spend requirement, the only other stipulation is those purchases must be made within 90 days of joining Rakuten. Which shouldn’t be too difficult considering it’s the holiday shopping season.

This increased sign-up bonus promotion is running through December 8, 2024. Just be sure to sign-up prior to that date to ensure you get the $40 sign-up bonus.

And once you’re a Rakuten member, you can use your referral link to have friends and family join, too. You’ll earn a $40 bonus for each new member who uses your referral link to join Rakuten, and they’ll earn $40 once they meet the spend requirements.

An Easy Way to Make Money

Rakuten’s referral bonus is an easy way to make money.

New to Rakuten

If you’re new to Rakuten, you can sign-up using our referral link below and after you spend $40 or more at Rakuten partner retailers, you’ll earn $40 cash back. That’s in addition to the increased cash back you’ll earn on your purchase(s).

And once you’re a Rakuten member, you can refer others to Rakuten, earning $40 for each referral that meets the sign-up bonus requirements.

So, if you’re already a member of Rakuten, head to the Rakuten Refer & Earn page to generate your referral emails and invites.

Rakuten

Joining Rakuten really has no downside. And it’s a financial benefit for everyone…especially now with the increased $40 referral bonus.

The only issue can be remembering to head to the Rakuten site before shopping. But there is a Rakuten browser extension that can be downloaded to help with that.

For those new to Rakuten, here are a few things of which to be aware.

Signing up for a Rakuten account is quick and easy – limited information is needed, and can be completed in a few minutes or less.

Once your account is set up, simply make sure you’re signed in to your Rakuten account, click through the Rakuten site to your desired retailer (you’ll be automatically directed to the retailer’s website) and make your purchase.

By clicking through the Rakuten site first, your purchases will be registered with Rakuten, and the appropriate cash back/points based on the amount spent will be credited to your Rakuten account.

It may take a week or so for the credited amount to appear in your account.  And payments are made quarterly, so any cash back/points accrued during the current quarter will be held until payment is disbursed at Rakuten’s pre-determined payment times.

If you prefer to earn American Express Membership Rewards points instead of cash back, you can do that at Rakuten, too.

Wrap Up

This increased sign-up bonus of $40 at Rakuten is a great opportunity to make some money.

Sign-up for a Rakuten account and make $40.

Then refer family, friends, anyone really, and make $40 for each person who signs up and makes the qualifying $40 in purchases via the Rakuten site.

And not only do you get the sign-up bonus/referral bonuses, you get the cash back associated with your purchases through Rakuten.

Making/saving money really couldn’t be easier.
