I recently made a purchase online at Macy’s and I thought I used the Rakuten app

If you made a purchase at Macy’s but did not see cashback in your Rakuten account, please verify if you clicked through Rakuten before completing your order. Ensure that you didn't use any other discount codes or websites that might have overwritten Rakuten's tracking.

Why I’m not receiving all money earned in the time period

There could be several reasons why you're not receiving all the money you've earned within the expected time period on Rakuten. Firstly, the payment process doesn't happen automatically after a purchase. Rakuten pays cash back for purchases in the following quarter, so there will be some delay. Secondly, the store you made a purchase from might report transactions to Rakuten at different times. Lastly, some purchases may be deemed ineligible for cash back due to certain conditions within the purchase itself or the seller's policy. Please remember to meet all the requirements and check the specific terms for each retailer you shop with through Rakuten.

Hi there. I haven't received any checks for my purchases in the last 2 quarters

We're sorry to hear about that. It's important to note that Rakuten sends out Big Fat Checks every three months, and only if your Cash Back balance is $5.01 or more ( excluding bonuses and rewards ). If it's less than that, the balance will carry over to the next check period until you've accumulated at least $5.01. So if your balance hasn’t met that threshold in the last 2 quarters, your cash back will be delivered when it does. Ensure that your mailing address is correct in your account settings. If you've done all this and still not received your check, there might be some other issue which would warrant reaching out to our support for resolution. We apologize for the inconvenience.

replacement check I received the last check for 90.62 dated 2/9/2024 but the one before that check was misplaced. can you replace it?

We're sorry to hear that your check was misplaced. However, as an online marketplace, Rakuten does not issue checks directly to customers. Any payments or refunds are typically processed through the payment method used during the initial purchase. If you've received a check, it may be from a merchant or store through Rakuten. We recommend reaching out to the merchant directly for further assistance.
