User Reviews
While some users praise the Rakuten extension for saving money and offering good cashback deals, many report issues with cashback not being credited despite confirmation, making the extension unreliable. There are also complaints about the button not appearing and the overall difficulty in getting rewards, resulting in frustration and accusations of the app being a scam. Pros
- Users have saved significant amounts of money using the extension.
- The extension offers competitive cashback rates, sometimes advertised as high as 20%.
- Generally considered the best deal extension by some users.
Cons
- Cashback rewards frequently do not track or credit properly after purchase, causing frustration and loss of expected earnings.
- The extension interface or button sometimes fails to appear or function correctly in the browser.
- Some users feel the app is unreliable or quasi-scamming due to unreceived cashback.
- The cashback process can be cumbersome and not user-friendly, leading to dissatisfaction.

What a pain in the ***! Pops up everywhere, whether you want it or not. If the site doesn't do cash backs, it tries to steer you to a site that does, even if the site it recommends has nothing in common with the site you want to use.
At one time you could exclude sites from the popups, but no longer. Only certain sites are allowed to be excluded, and even then sometimes the cash back popup still appears. Then you have the little icon that remains on the screen to remind you that Rakuten is available and it for some reason it always appears to cover parts of the website that you need to see or access. To get rid of the small reminder you have to manually turn it off, but only for that session. It always appears, no way to turn it off permanently.
It worked much better when Rakuten allowed you to customize it, but no longer. I've already switched to Capital One Shopping or MS Shopping. At least you can control when and how they popup.

Is Rakuten: Get Cash Back For Shopping Safe?
Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.
Rakuten: Get Cash Back For Shopping requires a lot of sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
