Good afternoon everyone. Hot off the presses, I just got this email from Ebates. Ebates is becoming Rakuten (pronounced rack-uh-ten) and they are moving members from Ebates over to Rakuten. I clicked on the email to see more information.
The landing page looks very similar to Ebates with the Rakuten logo in the upper left corner. All the cash back in my account transferred over. The service works the same and the customer service team is the same too.
Here are the Ebates and Rakuten homepages, side by side. As you can tell, the only real change is the logo on the homepage.
Also, if you watched yesterday’s Super Bowl pregame show, you should have seen this Rakuten commercial, which rewards people who can properly pronounce Rakuten (rack-uh-ten). The ad is pretty cool.
If you are an Ebates member, your account should be converted to Rakuten soon. If you are not an Ebates or Rakuten member, create a free Rakuten account here. If you have any questions, please leave a comment below. Have a great day everyone!
No matter how many times they tell me rack-u-ten, I swear the people in that ad are saying rock-u-ten.
How does this affect your day job?
No change, business as usual.
Silly. Why make it harder for people to remember your name? Not to mention that ebates is easy to understand. Rakuten, not so much.
Rakuten will become a household name, just give it time. Rakuten sponsors the Golden State Warriors, FC Barcelona, Shakira, Spartan Races and Rakuten Eagles baseball team in Japan.
I a m very happy with with you but you need to give me my rever a friend bonuses today!
Please contact Rakuten member service for your refer a friend bonus.
