EbatesRakuten

EbatesRakuten, commonly referred to as Rakuten or formerly Ebates, is an e-commerce and online retailing company that offers a cashback shopping portal. It allows users to earn a percentage of their purchase back when they shop through its website or app. The company partners with a wide array of online retailers, including major brands and smaller businesses.

When a user shops through the Rakuten portal, the retailer pays Rakuten a commission for referring the customer. Rakuten then shares a portion of this commission with the user in the form of cashback. Users accumulate their cashback rewards and can typically receive them via PayPal, check, or direct deposit once they reach a minimum payout threshold.

The platform also features a browser extension that automatically alerts users when cashback is available at a particular online store and can apply coupon codes at checkout. In addition to cashback, Rakuten often provides special offers, discounts, and promotions in collaboration with its partner retailers. The company operates internationally, with variations in its name and specific offerings depending on the region. It aims to provide consumers with a way to save money on their online purchases while supporting a network of participating businesses.
