What is the Rakuten influencer program?

We created the influencer program to thank you for spreading your love of Rakuten. There are tons of perks for you and offers to get your followers excited about Rakuten. Unlike many other affiliate programs, we offer a flat fee for every qualified referral instead of a percentage of a sale.

What are the benefits for joining the influencer program?                                                             

Our program rewards you for being an Rakuten ambassador. Here are some of the perks:

• A $25 cash bonus for every qualified referral you make
• Invitations to private events and opportunities to meet other influencers
• Exclusive access to insider news via an influencer newsletter and Facebook group (coming soon!)
• Best practices to help you maximize referral bonuses
• Opportunities to participate in giveaways and partnerships
• And much more to come!

What sorts of private events do you host?

Glad you asked! We host a variety of events to thank our influencers and give them a chance to network with each other. In March 2018, we invited five influencers and their friends to enjoy a Golden State Warriors game in our suite. This included flights as well as hotel stays in San Francisco. Everyone had a blast meeting each other, watching the game and hanging out in gorgeous San Francisco.
