Update 6/27/20: Rakuten is offering $45 cash back for first time subscribers. They are offering 15 bottles for $90 plus tax. Going through Rakuten has triggered the amex e-mail for at least one reader (sent via e-mail on 6/26). That means you’d get 15 bottles for ~$25. Hat tip to reader Michael B. Update: Others are saying that this is NOT triggering the e-mail.

Our Verdict
We wrote a few weeks back about stacking deals with Wine Insiders. Looks like this offer has fine print to try disallowing stacks (it’s possible they changed the coding for payments that have promo codes attached). Ordinary promo codes should still work, I think (?), since it only excludes offers which use a dedicated site. You can also go through Topcashback and get $4 back per order (other options here).
I haven’t analyzed well if there are any free/good deals to be had here, hopefully a wine expert will help us out in the comments. There is a minimum 3 bottles to checkout, plus, there’s usually a shipping charge, so you can’t get a free bottle or anything like that, but there might be deal scenarios that make sense.
