Re: Rakuten Global & Ebates
I got both my package and my cash back today from the RGM 22% cash back promotion. It shipped from Closer via Japan Post EMS. I was fully expecting that I would have to bug Rakuten/Ebates about it but it just showed up without any effort on my part this time. Last time I checked a few days ago, there was no checkmark next to my shopping trip but now it is showing up and the full amount of cash back has posted to my account. I just grabbed a screenshot in case they try any funny business. I really hope this positive development signifies me and Rakuten being like peas and carrots again when it comes to RGM transactions. Especially because I signed up for RGX in anticipation of more of these promotions.

Re: Rakuten Global & Ebates
Still nothing for me. And no reply to my last email as well.

Re: Rakuten Global & Ebates
How do you prove what percentage rebate you were promised? Seems like they have it setup that you dont get paid and you cant return an item because you are past the return date plus shipping both ways.
What am I missing have seen some deals but seems like a hassle.

Re: Rakuten Global & Ebates
I've had them initially deny the cash back altogether and then later grant it after some time and back and forth emailing. But I've never had them get the cash back percentage wrong. In case that should happen, I always take screenshots of the shopping trip being activated. That gives you a record of the percentage at that time. I'm not sure about returns as I haven't had to return anything so far.tjcdas wrote: ↑Thu May 09, 2019 9:56 am How do you prove what percentage rebate you were promised?

Re: Rakuten Global & Ebates
I would think that returns are not really an option - whether for RGM or for the seller. I would make sure that the deal is good enough that you can easily flip the item if it does not turn out to your liking. It's probably much less hassle (and potentially profitable) to flip rather than to try to return.

Re: Rakuten Global & Ebates
Just received an email that I got some cash back. Excitedly I opened it only to find it was a whopping .90 cents cashback for a shoe order I did for my wife 3 hours ago, lol.
On a positive note my order from Japan was just delivered. Now the child in me counts the minutes before I can leave work and get home to see it.

Takes a bit of time. The one I ordered on the 2nd day through RGX hasn't gotten its CB yet. Mine has finally been packed, has anyone have any experience with their EMS vs SAL Small Packet delivery. I'm hoping the SAL would have a higher chance of skipping customs as I've been hit with taxes everytime through EMS so far.

Rakuten Global Market has a coupon for "$50 off orders of $500". Below is the coupon code but it is not necessary. You can just click the radio button during checkout to apply the coupon. In actuality it is a coupon for ¥ 5,000 JPY off of ¥ 50,000 which converts to roughly $45.51 USD off of $455ish. For the moment RGM cash back remains at 15% through Rakuten.

Re: Rakuten Global & Ebates
My experience so far with RGX has been positive. I ordered one watch and three separate orders of Japanese skin care and makeup products for my wife. Shipping to RGX for each item within Japan was either free or $5-6. Shipping of all four orders consolidated to the US is $58 through SAL. Now I'm hoping I can dodge any customs! To me the $58 for shipping seems reasonable since sending all four orders directly to the US would have probably set me back a lot more. I know I've paid more than that for just one watch before and paid $20 before for just one of the same skin care orders. Add to this that my wife is saving a LOT of money on her stuff, even without the cash back, and it's a good deal. I just hope the order comes next week... maybe I should have gotten the EMS shipping! My wife doesn't know that I bought another watch and she's out of the country next week.

Re: Rakuten Global & Ebates
Sorry I don't remember exactly but I think I just entered the area code, tab to the next field or move the cursor, next 3 digits, tab again, and last 4. This may not help but I definitely remember feeling unsure about it when I clicked the red button to advance and then seeing a few pages later that all my info was entered correctly.skylinegtr_34 wrote: ↑Fri May 10, 2019 11:16 pmI feel stupid to ask again but how the phone number works?
