Pretty reasonable selection of stores, plus i've successfully gotten cashback

I'm usually a very pro-privacy/anti data-brokerage type of person, but Rakuten has a pretty competitive set of stores and cashback offers. I joined because Rakuten partnered with American Express to offer miles instead of a check/paypal transaction and American Express' shopping points are otherwise pretty ordinary. I've successfully gotten 15% cashback on some black friday sales.The extension is nice because it works better with Safari's build in ad blocking and with my third party adblocker. It still properly associates the sale with Rakuten account and gives me confirmation that the transaction completed. I like the cashback notes in Chrome results too. Once the Holiday season ends, I'll give Rakuten a deeper privacy audit as they can collect your web traffic with this extension and didn't make any attempts to demonstrate they take privacy of web traffic outside of shopping trips seriously. I wish there was an easier way to turn it on/off for my shopping sessions, but I wouldn't detract anything from their rating for this as my privacy concerns are more of an individual preference.

You won't get your cash-back
Sh1r33n!
On numerous online-shopping ocasions I have seen the Rakuten extension pop up and claim that I can get a certain % cash back by clicking on the activate button. So I did. But I waited and waited past the due date and the cash back never came. It's very difficult to contact customer support other than robots who don't understand how conversations go. Some times the transaction will even completely disappear from my account history. I have started to take screen shots of the Rakuten x% cash back activated tab as proof that they promised me cash back and are not holding their end of the bargain. Their robots just assume it's my browser's fault but my browser is working just fine. In my experience, you'll have to literally fight like a lawyer for every online purchase you make using their extension. Claiming to customers that they will get 5% back by a certain due date and then not delivering on that claim, is a broken promise and a lie. It's either that or it's simply disorganized

Much worse than Rakuten Chrome extension

I love Rakuten but why the extension on Safari is so user-unfriendly? Why it has to come with an app? Could you let it only be an extension on Safari rather than try to install an app on my Mac? Also, the Rakuten extension on Chrome can easily see your account information when you point to its button without clicking on it while the button on Safari looks so dumb. I installed this on my Safari because currently only Safari support Apple Pay. Hope the extension could improve soon and give the experience just like on the Chrome.

Apple has changed the requirements for the development of Safari Extensions. As a result, the Rakuten Cash Back Button (and other popular extensions) needed to redeveloped to meet Apple's new requirements. This means that a sister app will be installed as well as the extension within Safari.
Not adware.

Anyone saying this is a scam is ridiculous. The company renamed themselves from E*Bates... all of that might be confusing but they send you a check for the x% deals you get on the web. Check out their site before making false accusations. I've gotten checks. They are legit. I'm writing this because I think it's ridiculous when people call things something when they have no idea what they are talking about. (this isn't adware and I have no affiliation with this company). I don't write reviews unless I have a high regard for the company and this is free money when you buy stuff online and you get a (usually rather small) discount. But it's still a discount! : )
