Sign Up for Rakuten and Earn 7,500 Membership Rewards Points
Rakuten is currently running a Big Give Week promotion with increased cash back rates at many merchants. Now they also have a best ever signup bonus for first-time Rakuten members who are American Express Card Members eligible for the Membership Rewards® program.
American Express and Rakuten have partnered for several years to offer Membership Rewards® Card Members the opportunity to earn points instead of cash back on purchases made through Rakuten.
For a limited time now through Friday, June 13th, eligible American Express Card Members who sign up for Rakuten for the first time and link their American Express Membership Rewards® card, can receive a 7,500 Membership Rewards® Points Welcome Bonus after spending $25 or more in qualifying purchases within 90 days of signing up. You can see the offer here.
I believe the highest ever bonus for Rakuten was $45 or 4,500 Membership Rewards® Points, so this is a much better offer. But if you have a friend or family member who can refer you, that is still the better play as you can both earn $40 or 4,000 points.
