The Offer

Direct Link to offer

  • Rakuten is offering $35/3,500 for new Gobble meal subscribers.

Our Verdict

It’s supposed to be possible to get 6 meals for $36 with promo code (mentioned on Rakuten) WIN2021. Or get 4 meals for $32.02. Not a freebie, but cheap way to get 4 or 6 meals at minimal cost.

Update: Readers note that promo code OLOGY50 (mentioned on Rakuten) can bring down the cost to around $18 or less, resulting in a moneymaker of at least $10 + free food.

bait and switch it charged me $46 after showing $20 something online. I called up and cancelled, not worth paying a cent per point even with the food.

Also was charged 46$ but prior to submitting the order it said $14.xx, I tried messaging support with no luck response after 30 minutes

Rakuten tracked again, did this offer June of 2022, thinking about messaging support again.. very deceptive billed for 46$ but prior to checkout shows 14$. I assume this would jeopardize the 45$ from Rakuten if I get a refund however for the difference

Same :(. But Rakuten seems to be great about crediting missing money/points when you request it.

Update: I contacted Gobble last night and they refunded me the difference! I see on Rakuten that I have the 4500 points with the adjusted purchase of $14.xx. Yay!

WIN2021 (code on the Rakuten site) made it $14 for the smallest meal plan (2 meals for 2 people.) I don’t know if it makes a difference, but I initially selected Vegetarian and then was able to pick other meals on the next screen

Check your credit/debit card transaction, it would be showing up $46 charged to your account.

I must have done something wrong. Used WIN2021 code for the two people/two meal plan and was charged $46. I guess $1 for a few meals isn’t the worst..

Is code OLOGY50 still working?

It might be, but in this case, seems using only Rakuten listed code is important per earlier comments and the fine print

Credited on Rakuten within an hour, thanks very much! I suggest skipping the next two deliveries ASAP so you don’t get charged for them. And the link to cancel/deactivate completely is buried in their FAQ: https://support.gobble.com/hc/en-us/articles/115001469167-How-do-I-deactivate-
