Shopping portal Rakuten has elevated payouts today on many retailers, up to 15%, to celebrate Presidents Day. This would stack with the current $50 bonus for new users after signing up through referral and spending $50 within 90 days.
Remember, you can also choose to be paid out in Amex points or Bilt points instead of cash back which can further increase the value. Rakuten has been my go-to shopping portal for the last year and I’ve been happy to earn over 100k Amex and Bilt points.
Here is a sampling of some of the great offers. If you were planning to shop at these stores anyway, today is a great day to place your orders and earn elevated cash or points back.
- Nike 15%
- Adidas 15%
- Athleta 15%
- Viator 15%
- Columbia 15%
- Petsmart 15%
- Oakley 15%
- Bombas 15%
- Under Armour 10%
- Lululemon 6% (use your Amex Platinum credit)
- Stubhub 6% (use your Chase Sapphire Reserve credit)
How to link your Bilt account
Bilt points are often considered the single most valuable points currency due to valuable partners such as Hyatt and Alaska Atmos. Despite their tremendously bad rollout of the Bilt 2.0 credit cards, the value of their points has not changed.
