After you make a purchase, your cashback is initially marked as "pending". This is necessary because, for example, the shop must first wait to see whether you return your order. As soon as the shop confirms your purchase, your cashback becomes "available" - and you can withdraw it to your bank account.

Usually it takes 1-3 days for your cashback to be marked as "pending". In some cases, it can take up to 7 days.

The confirmation period is different for each shop, e.g. because different withdrawal periods apply. On Rakuten.co.uk, each shop profile will show you the average time it takes for your cashback to become available.

Each shop determines the commission that is paid to us for referring a transaction. The higher the commission, the more cashback we can offer you for a shop.

There are 2 possible reasons: Either the shop does not acknowledge that your purchase was made via Rakuten.co.uk or your purchase does not meet the shop's cashback conditions. In both cases, we do not receive any commission from the shop and can therefore not pass on any cashback to you.

If you are missing cashback for a purchase, please send us a transaction request via the support icon. After sending us your order details, we will contact the shop to check your purchase. As soon as the shop subsequently allocates the purchase to us, we will add your cashback to your account.

On each shop profile on Rakuten.co.uk you will find our cashback tips as well as the individual cashback conditions of the shop. These tips will help you to make sure your order is being tracked.

Cashback will be declined if you have returned/cancelled your purchase or if the shop determines during the order review process that cashback conditions have not been met. Please contact us via the support icon if you believe your cashback has been wrongly declined.

It may happen in some cases that your cashback does not match the advertised percentage/amount. This could happen, for example, if the shop changes the cashback rates at short notice. Please contact us via the support icon if your cashback amount is incorrect.

Rakuten is a Japanese company headquartered in Tokyo and offers a wide range of services in many different areas around the world. Rakuten.co.uk is a service that allows you to collect cashback when shopping online at our partner stores.

For every purchase you make through Rakuten.co.uk from a partner shop, we receive a commission from the shop. We pass on part of the commission to you in the form of cashback - that's how you get money back for your purchases with Rakuten!

Yes, Rakuten.co.uk is a completely free-to-use service.

You can withdraw your available cashback via bank account transfer. To do this, go to Cashback & Points > Withdraw your cashback.

Usually, your cashback will be transferred to your bank account within a few hours. In some cases, it can take up to 3 days until you receive your money.

Currently, you can only withdraw your cashback via bank account transfer. We are working on introducing more payment options in the near future. Alternatively, you can convert your cashback into points - see the section below for more information.

Rakuten points are part of Rakuten's global ecosystem. On Rakuten.co.uk, you can earn Rakuten points by converting your collected cashback into points. You can redeem points on Rakuten.co.uk to get vouchers from selected partner shops or use them on other Rakuten services, such as Rakuten TV.

When converting cashback into points, you benefit from a favorable conversion rate: £1.00 cashback = 120 points. For example, if you convert £50 cashback, you will receive 6000 points. You can then redeem these points to get vouchers worth £60. This way you save even more!

Points expire 12 months after your last point credit.

You can get gift cards (e.g. from Argos, Currys, Tesco) by converting your collected cashback into points and then redeeming your points for these gift cards.

You have already acquired several gift cards on Rakuten.co.uk in exchange for points and are now receiving an error message? Please try again after 48 hours. Please contact us if you are still unable to receive gift cards.
