Rakuten Big Give Week
Rakuten has revealed a new promotion coming up soon, called the “Big Give Week”, which is now live as it kicked off today. It will run all of this week and into next week, from May 4 through May 11, 2026. During that time Rakuten is promising 15% cash back at hundreds of stores. We often see some merchants with even higher rates (many 20%+ today already).
Stores Participating
Here is a list of some of the stores participating in Rakuten Big Give Week:
Some of the brands that will be part of this promotion include (might be more):
- Adidas
- Bombas
- Columbia Sportswear
- Dermastore
- DSW
- Expedia
- Kate Spade Outlet
- KitchenAid
- LEGO
- Lenovo
- LG
- Office Depot
- PetSmart
- Puma
- Ray-Ban
- Sandro
- SoFi
- Sonos
- Temu
- Ulta
- Verizon
- Viator
There will likely be many more, so be sure to check out their site every day.
Some Other Options
SoFi is always interesting as Rakuten often has one of the best bonuses for their Checking and Savings account. There are also a couple of travel brands such as Viator and Expedia and we could see others as well.
It looks like the Bank of America cards have already been increased to all time highs as well. That makes them one of the best ways to rack up a lot of Bilt Rewards points quickly.
Another offer that is increased is the Kraken offer. This one is a pretty simple bonus and worth doing. You can check out more detail on the offer here.
Rakuten Big Give Week: Final Thoughts
If you had some online shopping to do then look no further. I doubt any other portal is touching these rates right now. Also remember to check the bank bonus, investment bonus and credit card sign ups above. Things like that tend to be increased during these promos.
Reminder that if you don’t have a Rakuten account yet, this is a good time to sign up and their site.
Oh, Mark, you silly goose. Haven’t you read that Bilt is the mostest worstest, mostest confusingest credit card ever to be released in the history of the universe? The mostest smartest bloggers have deemed it so. Their minds ache like that of Vinnie Barberino. Try as they did, they found no redeeming value (no pun intended) in the Bilt card. What has gotten into you?
