 Frequent Miler's Quick Deals If you know someone who does not yet use the Rakuten shopping portal, both you and they can receive $50, 5,000 Membership Rewards points, or 5,000 Bilt points when they sign up and spend at least $50 through the portal. That should be very easy to do, so I definitely recommend taking advantage of it if you can.
Note that the $50 bonus can be triggered when the person you refer shops online or spends $50 with Rakuten’s in-store offers.
This is the best referral offer that we’ve ever seen from Rakuten and it’s been extended through June 30th, 2026.

The Deal
- Shopping portal Rakuten is currently offering a referral bonus of $50, 5,000 Membership Rewards points, or 5,000 Bilt points when you refer someone by March 31st, and that person spends $50 or more within 90 days of signing up

Quick Thoughts
This can be a great bonus as it means the person you refer can essentially get a $50 item for free after cash back, and you get $50, 5,000 Membership Rewards points, or 5,000 Bilt points for helping them do it. When you sign up for Rakuten, your account preference is set to earn cash back by default, but you can switch your earning preference to Membership Rewards or Bilt points.
Just make sure your referees sign up by June 30th. They then have 90 days to make $50 in purchases through Rakuten, which should be fairly easy – it’s a good deal for them as well.
