Rakuten Bringing Back the $40 Referral Bonus for Your Early 2022 Holiday Shopping
The last few years, Rakuten has offered an increased referral bonus during the holiday shopping months.
It’s good to see this increased referral bonus is back for 2022. Although, its availability period is a bit shorter this year, running now through November 17, 2022.
The increased $40 bonus will be paid for new sign-ups during the upcoming month.
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 within 90-days of signing up, you’ll earn $40 cash back. That’s in addition to the cash back you’ll earn on your purchase(s).

CURRENT RAKUTEN MEMBERS
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.
To help with that, Rakuten does have browser extensions that’ll automatically show available cash back options for specific sites/retailers as you browse the web.
Rakuten’s iOS app can be found here.
Rakuten’s Android app can be found here.
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) or click the browser extension link if you’ve set that up, and make your purchase.
By clicking through the Rakuten site or browser extension link 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.
Considering the shopping that’s likely to happen over the next few months, that should be easy enough.
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.
