Or shop through the Rakuten app on your phone! Once the app is on your phone, you will be able to install the Safari extension on your mobile device. Unfortunately, extensions are not yet available on Android phones.

3. In addition to getting Cash Back, you can also use the app and extension to automatically apply coupons and promo codes to make sure you get the best deal.

*Available on qualifying purchases of at least $25.

5. Finally, Rakuten will mail you a physical check with your Cash Back quarterly so you can actually see the savings in your hands. Or you can get the money sent right to your PayPal account.
