How can we help?

When Will I Get Paid?

To get paid, make sure you:

1. Add your address. We use your mailing address to verify your identity (even if you’re getting paid via PayPal or American Express Membership Rewards® Points). On our website, you can add your address in Account Settings. If you’re using the App, go to Account then Choose How You Get Paid.

2. Earn at least $5.01. You need minimum confirmed earnings of $5.01 Cash Back before the next payment date to get paid. Cash Back must be confirmed by the store before the payment date to be included in your payment. If your Cash Back Balance is $5.00 or less, it will carry over to the next payment date.

Getting Paid

You’ll be paid for any confirmed Cash Back, bonuses and other rewards via the payment method you selected (check, PayPal or American Express Membership Rewards® points) every three months. Pending Cash Back will remain in your account until it becomes confirmed.

Rakuten Payment Dates:

  • February 15
  • May 15
  • August 15
  • November 15

How long does it take for pending Cash Back to be confirmed?

Once the store sends us your order details, your Cash Back will be pending. It will be added to your confirmed balance and included in your next payment, unless we receive new information from the store.

Online and in-store Cash Back is usually confirmed within 20 to 100 days after your purchase. Cash Back on dining will be confirmed within 20 to 25 days after you dine.

Travel Cash Back is typically confirmed within 45 to 120 days after completing your booking.

Bonuses usually depend on an order and will be confirmed at the same time as the Cash Back. Your refer-a-friend bonuses will be confirmed once your friend makes a purchase and their Cash Back is confirmed.

Remember, your Cash Back, bonuses and other rewards need to be confirmed by the payment date to be included.
