Conclusion
It was three years ago when Rakuten ended its credit card program with Synchrony. It now has a new credit card and this time it runs on the American Express network, powered by Imprint and issued by First Electronic Bank.
The card has good earning rates for Rakuten purchases, giving you an extra 4% cash back, but it is limited to $7,000 in purchases every year. This card might be more interesting when Bilt becomes a Rakuten partner.
If you were thinking of applying, the bonus is now slightly better at $100, compared to $25 at launch. But the spending requirement has also doubled to $1,000.
