Rakuten’s Big Give Week Offers an Increased $40 New Member Bonus Along with Larger Cash Back Earning Throughout the Week

Rakuten, the cash back earning site, has increased its sign-up bonus to $40.

This increased sign-up bonus is part of Rakuten’s Big Give Week celebration during which many partner retailers are paying increased cash back amounts, up to 20% for some, on purchases.

The increased new member bonus will be paid for new sign-ups now through May 16, 2022 at 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time.

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, you’ll earn $40 cash back. That’s in addition to the increased 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. 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.

Big Give Week May 9 – 16, 2022

As we mentioned in the post’s intro, May 9-16 is Rakuten’s Big Give Week, during which increased cash back earning will be offered at a number of retailers.

Monday, May 9, there are a few retailers offering 20% cash back, and a number more offering 15%, making today the day to make a purchase if you’ve been eyeing items at one of those retailers.

You can view the 20% cash back retailers and the 15% cash back retailers at Rakuten’s main page at this link.

And then check that link each day the rest of this week to see what other deals Rakuten will offer as its Big Give Week proceeds.

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 also get the cash back associated with your purchases through Rakuten.

Plus, during Rakuten’s Big Give Week, you can earn even more cash back on your purchases.

Making/saving money really couldn’t be easier.
