The Offer
- Rakuten is offering 7,500 membership rewards when a new user signs up and spends $25 or more in qualifying purchases within 90 days of account opening
Our Verdict
Unfortunately I think most readers will already have an account. Standard increased referral bonus is $45/4,500 points to both parties for a total of $90, that’s a better deal if you know the person referring you and they give you their full share (or at least most of it). But if you’re just applying solo this is a great deal.
Does anyone know if an authorized user can create their own account and points? Will it go to the main account?
Thanks Will, worked like a charm for me and already see the MR points pending in my Rakuten Account after purchase.
What is the process to get the MR points into your AMEX account?
If the MR points are in posted to your Rakuten account (not pending), then it will auto-transfer to your Amex MR Account on the following schedule (every 3 months). February 15, May 15, August 15, November 15.
I connected my Amex account, but do you need to pay with an Amex card for this to work?
The referral bonus seems to still be $40, not $45….❔
$45 is the maximum increased bonus I think
anyone have a good working email to contact rakuten? thanks
Did you try using their ‘missing cash back’ widget or chatbot first?
Reddit Rakuten shows “socialhelp at rakuten com”

Can I stack up this offer with a friend’s referral link?
Nope
Could someone under 18 sign up/have an account?
