Overview

• New members must join via an eligible referral link by Sept. 30, 2025 and complete at least $50 in qualifying purchases within 90 days to activate the offer.
• Both the referrer and the new member receive $50; some coverage notes certain accounts may see a 5,000 Membership Rewards option, while the one-time sign-up bonus is generally paid in cash.
• A fast way to qualify is purchasing a $50 gift card through a partner like giftcards.com or using in-store offers, ensuring the transaction tracks as eligible.
• Payouts post on Rakuten’s quarterly cycle, so activity through Sept. 30 is slated to be paid on Nov. 15, subject to tracking and program rules.
• Eligibility is limited to the U.S., D.C., and Canada, referrals can be earned multiple times by members, returns or fraudulent activity can void bonuses, and the offer may be modified or canceled.
