Rakuten discount tips

The Rakuten Story

Rakuten was started by Hiroshi Mikitani in 1997 in the early days of the internet. The premise was simply to offer an online marketplace where people could sell things to others. The idea was well received and the business grew rapidly, after a few years it became known as the biggest online retailer in Japan and held that title for approximately 20 years. The company has diversified extensively since starting, it is often referred to as the Japanese Amazon and has steadily expanded across Europe and into the US. Of course, the company has experienced ups and downs, especially when its main competitor is Amazon. Their main expansion started in the early 2000s as they started buying companies that would help them grow and fill needs in their marketing or telecommunications sectors. This has helped to ensure they have all the infrastructure they need to self-support their business and you, the customer.

What Rakuten Offers

It may be more accurate or easier to talk about what Rakuten doesn’t offer. They have an extensive e-commerce business offering clothing, electronics, housewares, and virtually anything else you can think of. They also have the messaging app Viper, a food delivery service, travel service, and an array of digital television services including Rakuten TV which is available in the UK. Alongside this, they purchased a marketing and data company, have a telecommunications network, and offer a variety of financial services. They were also the first major business to support Bitcoin.

Shopping With Rakuten

Rakuten is an online retailer, you won’t find any physical stores. It should also be noted it doesn’t sell its own products, directly. Instead, it offers a marketplace where people can offer items for sale and you can buy them. Of course, the buyer and the seller must adhere to the Rakuten rules. In the UK and the US Rakuten focuses most of its efforts on saving you money while you shop. They have linked with thousands of stores and, if you go to the store through Rakuten, you’ll get cashback. In short, Rakuten has positioned itself as an affiliate marketing firm, they earn money if you buy through them, and the money they earn they share with you. This gives you access to almost any item you can think of and you’ll get money back after you’ve completed the purchase! You can join Rakuten with a free account in less than 30 seconds and download the app. You will then have joined the biggest cashback company in the world with more than 15 million members!

Speaking With the Rakuten Team

If you have any queries with your account or the cashback received you’ll be pleased to note that English is the official language of Rakuten. That makes it much easier to contact the team and discuss any issues. You will find a list of FAQs on their site and the contact link. One-click will give you the number of the support line, along with an email address. It’s worth noting that email gets the best response. The friendly team will reply to you quickly and efficiently.

Promotions & Discounts With Rakuten

As they don’t offer their own products Rakuten doesn’t offer promotions. But, it does know about every promotion in place and will make sure you know about them, potentially saving you a lot of money even before you get your cashback.
