New to Rakuten.ca? Tips to Help You Get Started

Welcome to Rakuten.ca. We’re so glad you could join us on this earning-money-while-you-shop adventure! Let us show you around. Give you a tour of sorts. And of course, feel free to ask any questions—we love questions (and praise!). We want all of our new members to understand how it works so here are some good things to know…

First things first.

Now that you’ve signed up for your Rakuten.ca account, be sure to also sign up for our emails. They’re chalk-full of new deals, special promotions, new stores, and (ahem) our latest blogs.

Next Up… Favourites.

Add your favourite Rakuten.ca partners to your list. You can see them any time by visiting “My Account.” You’ll also be able to see which of your favourites are offering Double Cash Back. So hit that heart button if you see a store you like.

“What’s that?” you say.

Double Cash Back is a special promotion each week for a select group of stores. Instead of receiving 2.5% back on your shopping, you might receive 5% back. (That’s just an example.) Visit our website (or sign up for our emails) to find out who’s offering what when. This is also an easy way to grow your Cash Back! CHA CHING!

Get the low down with the download.

Download the Rakuten app on your smartphone or tablet to shop-as-you-go or while travelling or between commercials or… you get the idea. Never miss another Cash Back opportunity by adding the Rakuten Express button. It will notify you every time you visit a participating partner and let you know the eligible Cash Back offer. Right?

New stores.

The other fun thing about Rakuten? We are always working with the top stores to join our party. And we keep a nifty little list too so you can find out all the new players. Find out what new stores have joined Rakuten and show them your support by shopping.
