Our Verdict

My understanding is that this offer is for anyone who signed up for Rakuten within the past 60 days. Many long-standing Rakuten members are seeing the offer as well in the app.

I couldn’t find the offer myself on the website or extension, but the offer showed up for me in the Rakuten app. 

If you’re new to Rakuten, sign up now with the $50 referral signup offer – full details and our referral link can be found in this post. You should then become eligible for this $5 x 3 Rakuten deal since it sounds like it works for all new members. The Amazon purchases will not work to trigger the $50 bonus (you’ll have to afterwards make a total of $50 in separate purchases to get the $50 signup bonus), but it does spruce up the bonus overall from $50 to $65 ($50+$5+$5+$5).
