"Optimism is a mental attitude reflecting a belief or hope that the outcome of some specific endeavor, or outcomes in general, will be positive, favorable, and desirable." –Wikipedia

Rakuten in Japanese means ‘optimism'. Thus far, I am highly optimistic about using this company for most of my shopping needs. Or should I say... most of my online shopping needs, because I do still like to hit the "brick and mortar" now and again.

So, if you like shopping online, and you want to know about Rakuten, and its advantages, this article will help you consider the benefits of shopping through Rakuten! Keep reading this post in order to get the most out of it.

Strong membership base.

Rakuten has a very strong membership base. Loyalty point programs are awesome for keeping consumers, and/or clients coming back to business time and time again. Well, member acquisition is the worst hurdle in starting up such point programs, especially in the offline world.

On the other hand, the ecosystem of this company alone boasts more than 85 million user accounts in Japan, covering the vast majority of the online population in the country. So much so, all accounts earn “Rakuten Super Points” with the different transaction, essentially solving the issue of member acquisition.

Cash back rewards.

We believe there is no better reason to shop via Rakuten than cash back rewards. You will get cash back for your shopping on the platform. The biggest advantage of this is that it does not cost you anything, except a small period of time logging in, as well as filtering where you can earn some significant cash back. Here, it is important to install the Rakuten “Cash Back Button,” so that your shopping is less intrusive.

Awesome deals.

It is no surprise that you get only awesome and fair deals on this online platform. In fact, you can review Rakuten, and compare its prices with that of the prices in other stores. We guarantee you will appreciate the prices more. Rakuten has over 1800 affiliate stores, and the competition among them is high. That’s the reason they offer low prices, discounts, and commissions.

It is absolutely easy to open a Rakuten account. In fact, it will take you just two minutes. Similarly, you can create your account with your Facebook address, or your email address. Sometimes, the company offers signup rewards too. For instance, you can get $5 just for signing up. The welcome bonus is $10!

Ease of use.

As mentioned above, Rakuten has over 1800 stores. You may think it is difficult to order from the website, but disagreeing with your thought, we tell you that it is extremely easy to order products from Rakuten, because all of its stores are well-organized and arranged. So, just click on any of your desired stores or store of interest. This way, you will be taken to the website of the store.

After making a purchase, Rakuten will provide you with rewards, and get your cash back into your account. The friendly user interface offers quick navigation, information, and trouble-free features. So, it is easy to use! Also, if you know the names of the stores, you can search for them easily, and then, you will be taken there quickly.

Side Note: My only complaint to date is the name change. Rakuten just doesn't roll off the lips quite like Ebates. Plus, Ebates sounds likes rebates, and rebates sounds like savings–to me!
