Remember you have to accumulate 500 points before they will credit your account and even then its only done at the end of each quarter

Well the comparison of amazon is not a true one it's limited and select items up to 5% not an actual true 5%

Hi Shifu just thought I’d mention that RAKUTEN has the 楽天 kanji, meaning that you parse the RAKU and the TEN, therefore pronouncing the name as RAkuTEn. Your Chinese background probably has you thinking LIUTIEN or something along those lines. 😉

Yup been doing this and charging my chase freedom or freedom unlimited to earn either 5% or 1.5% UR Points. DOUBLE DIPPING!

I've been doing this for almost a year, earned almost $100 dollars in MR points.

Can someone tell me which AMEX cards regular or business earn MR points? Are there any that have no annual fee? I plan to get an Amex gold card in the future but timing isn't right yet for me. Also, do AMEX business cards hit against 5/24?

My only Amex MR point earning card is the BBP. And it looks like business cards are excluded from this offer 😐

Good to know, but I'm sticking with the cash – I'm a Cash Magnet users anyway, that's just my preferred reward.

Amex used to have an online shopping portal. They took it down and went the route of Amex Offers. Now this “portal” essentially returns with the Rakuten collaboration.

I set this up with a new account. I love it! Then if I can, I use shoprunner to get the shipping.

Skimmed over the TOS. Seems like a major privacy concern, much like the Delta Skymiles shopping portal.

I just learned about this yesterday. Many of the “in store” restaurants in ny by me has 5% back. I’m mad I didn’t know about this sooner. Can easily get 9x points on some restaurants with the Amex gold

They probably sell your order information to hedge funds. So if you don't care about privacy sure.

Unless I'm missing something, this doesn't seem to be an option for Canadians.

Are MR points better than cash back? Amd will i need an Amex card for this? I've been using Ebates for a long time now and i love it.

Raketun website no longer says 'switch to membership rewards points' now it says 'learn about earning points' the help page instructs to log in and enter Amex online account credentials when prompted. I logged in and wasn't prompted, signed out, signed back in and the same thing. What am I missing?

Thank you! I just used Rakuten to book a cruise through Travelocity. They are currently offering 10% back on cruises. That's almost like getting a sign up bonus from opening a new credit card!

Can you clarify:

How does Amex code these purchases.. lets say your Amex card gives you 3x on department stores… Rakuten gives 10x on Macy’s… are you potentially earning 13x?

Thanks!

FYI, this is being clawed back. Amex is only allowing MR points to be earned if you use the registered Amex card to make the purchase on Amazon

Reply
Joseph Estepa February 23, 2020 - 1:36 pm

Question: in your example with the Amazon Card + the MR points, do you have to make a purchase with the AMEX card to earn the MR points or can we use another card LIKE the amazon to get the points? (Are we getting 2 “currencies” back for the price of 1 purchase?)

So you can still get MR points even if you use another credit card to check out?

I was looking for this crap add that always runs while watching google videos and have a message for it: STOP INTERRUMPING MY VIDEOS. I HAVE TO CLICK ESCAPE TO AVOID WATCHING YOUR ANNOYING ADD AND ITS AUDIO SO DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY RUNNING SUCH ADDS AND MY TIME AND PATIENCE.

BTW, GOOGLE SHOULD FIND ANOTHER WAY TO MONETIZE THIS CRAP OR APIECE ITS GREEDINESS.

LOVE AND PEACE
