Welcome to Rakuten.ca! Home of the Big Fat Cheque. You’re probably wondering what to do first, right?

Well, we’ve got you covered. Here’s the top 5 things you should do once you’ve signed up for Rakuten.

1. Check settings

Check your settings and your cheque settings. With Rakuten, you can choose whether you receive a cheque in the mail, get paid via PayPal, or receive an Amazon gift card electronically. You can do all that under your “Big Fat Payment Settings”. You can also subscribe to emails for exclusive offers, contest, and more goings on.

2. Get the goods

Never forget about Cash Back when you install the Rakuten Express Button—a Google Chrome extension. This little button will always alert you when you visit a store online that offers Cash Back. No login necessary, just download and forget it. You can also download the Rakuten app for iOs and Android. So you can shop-and-earn-as-you-go and never miss any Cash Back again!

3. Go shopping!

Shop. Shop. And shop some more. With over 750 partner stores, you’ll find whatever it is your looking for. Stores like Hudson’s Bay, Sephora, Amazon, Old Navy, and Chapters-Indigo. There’s even a luxury page where you’ll find big names like Jimmy Choo and Tory Burch (we love to shop luxury online). Don’t forget gift cards! The Rakuten Gift Card Shop offers even more savings with Air Canada, Cineplex, Petro-Canada, Uber, and much more!

4. Get social.

Now that you’re part of the family, come on over to social media where the fun really happens. You’ll find all our contest information, fun videos, and way, way more. We’re on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, YouTube, and Pinterest.

5. Tell your friends

Want more cash? Of course you do! And we want to give it to you. Share your love of shopping (and Rakuten) with your friends and be rewarded with cold, hard, cash. For every friend you refer who signs up, you’ll get $5 for each of them.  Be sure to check out the latest offer here!

Happy Shopping!
