How to Get Actual Cash Back on Everyday Purchases

Published about 1 year ago • 1 min read

​.​

Hi Reader,

I hope you're doing well!

With the big shopping season upon us, I want to share my favorite way to save money with you, that actually works.

It's called Rakuten. You may have seen their ads on TV or social media and wondered if it's real.

Let me tell you, it is.

My husband and I have been using Rakuten to get cash back every quarter for over 10 years, it really works.

Even better? When you sign up for FREE with my referral code you get an additional $40 welcome bonus on your first qualified purchase plus the percent cash back that is available at the time!

I've tested this with a friend of mine and it is legit, we both got $30 back when she joined and used Rakuten!

Now through December 8th you can get a $40 welcome bonus instead of the typical $30 on top of the % cash back from the store you're shopping at!

Just the other day I got $11.13 cash back on my Vitacost order because Rakuten raised the cash back from 3% to 11%!

Get ready for this to happen a lot this time of year!

Want to get started now? Click the button to sign up with Rakuten now!

Have a great week!!
