How the Rakuten referral signup works
- Open the referral link before registering, or enter code SHANET1665 when offered.
- Create a new eligible Rakuten account.
- Start a shopping trip from Rakuten and confirm cash back is activated.
- Complete an eligible purchase without leaving the tracked shopping flow.
- Allow the merchant to confirm the order and Rakuten to post eligible cash back.
Eligibility and reward details
The qualifying purchase amount, deadline, excluded items, coupon restrictions, and payment schedule can change. Returns or canceled orders can reverse cash back and referral rewards.
What to check before you join
- Confirm the cash-back activation message before checkout.
- Use only coupon codes Rakuten recognizes for that merchant.
- Keep the order confirmation until cash back posts.
- Review exclusions for gift cards, taxes, shipping, and returned items.
If the referral does not track
Keep the original invitation, screenshots of the offer, confirmation messages, and any qualifying transaction details. Contact Rakuten support through its official app or website and provide the requested account information. Never post private account details publicly.
