Online Shopping
Rakuten is a cash-back shopping portal that earns rebates when you click through to partner retailers, plus its own marketplace. Any direct purchases code as online shopping, but the bigger play is stacking Rakuten's cash back on top of a rewarding card at checkout. Treat the portal as a multiplier layered over your usual online-shopping card.
