Frequently Asked Questions
Do I have to spend £50 in a single transaction?
No! Rakuten lets you spread the £50 minimum spend across multiple smaller purchases within your first 90 days.
Why should I spend ~£60 including VAT to be safe?
UK cashback retailers report purchase amounts to Rakuten excluding 20% VAT and delivery charges. Spending around £60 inc. VAT ensures your net qualifying spend easily clears the £50 threshold.
Can I use Rakuten alongside TopCashback and Quidco?
Yes—you shouldn't click two cashback sites on the exact same order, but you should hold accounts on all three to claim £45 in combined sign-up bonuses and pick whichever site has the highest rate on each purchase.
