The Offer
- Rakuten is running a Black Friday even with numerous merchants at cashback/rewards rates of up to 20%.
- A few notable rates: 15% back on Dell, 16% back on Saks, 18% on Temu, 20% back on PetSmart.
Our Verdict
Some nice deals here. They’ll probably run similar offers on Cyber Monday and possibly over the weekend as well. Saks and Dell are notable since many of us have spend there to do in order to take advantage of our American Express Platinum card benefit.
Capital One Shopping often has similar increased rates, though it’s often difficult to find (email, app, filter, home page, etc).
Note to self: Dell takes some time to ship items, and so it’s probably worth using up your Amex credits now. Self replies: I’d love to use up my credits now, I just can never find anything to buy on Dell.
