Hi all!

Just a heads up, Rakuten is offering 10% on the Samsung store.

I had a s20 ultra 128gb preordered at $1549 ($50 sign up & education discount) and received $154 Cashback plus $10 welcome bonus.

I cancelled my existing preorder before the Cashback, reordered with the Cashback and got it no worries, can also reuse the $50 bonus from the initial order.

Cheers!

Edit: Just to confirm, I have the $164 in my Rakuten account but it can't be pulled out for a couple months like most Cashbacks.

    You're telling me I'm about to get another 10pc off my $1750 ultra I was about to order in a few days? Works with the edu store? Am I in heaven?

  • alenpln on 27/02/2020 - 00:19

    Do not log in with Google or Microsoft to Rakuten, they request permissions for reading your emails which is definitely will be used against you

    How do I get to work with the edu store or EPP?

      I'll up tick if this ends up working at all… I didn't even realise rakuten even worked for outside USA..

    Has anyone gotten this to work on the Samsung AU site? It takes me straight to the US site

  • Wattles on 27/02/2020 - 00:29

    I had the Rakuten extension on Google chrome then logged into the Samsung education store which I purchased from originally, it then let me enable Rakuten.

    I didn't believe it would work either until they gave me the cash back this morning. Not complaining!

    • 18 on 27/02/2020 - 00:30

      They can still cancel the cashback as it's still pending… I don't know if this deal is obtainable, but it doesn't hurt trying I guess

      • Wattles on 27/02/2020 - 00:33

        Yeah mate, I have the $164 in my Rakuten account, not in my bank account yet. Just putting it out there if it does go through with no issues :)

        • aussie222 on 27/02/2020 - 00:44

          Thanks for posting, how long does it typically take for the cashback to track and then clear?

            @aussie222: Mine says it's available to be withdrawn early May.
            From what I've read it usually takes 7 days to show up in the account but I emailed Rakuten to see if I did the transaction correctly and they put the money in my account.

            • loopy18 on 20/03/2020 - 20:36

              @Wattles: Did you opt to receive by PayPal or cheque?

        • unobtanium on 27/02/2020 - 10:08

          Hi, how long did it take for the pending cash back amount to appear on your Rakuten account after finalising the Samsung transaction? Thx

    • csider on 27/02/2020 - 00:32

      This could be big… Sadly can't try until Monday for TRS reasons.

      • mustbargain on 27/02/2020 - 08:50

        you can actually try now, your trs only depends on your final receipt.

        the 60 days matter when you pick up your phone and pay the full amount, not the pre-order small amount.

        this is what i did, I pre-ordered for $300 and picked it up and paid full price on 1st of april as i was travelling in June 1st. (this was for the s10)

        • csider on 27/02/2020 - 08:59

          Really? I thought the 60 days is based on the date written on the tax invoice?

          And the tax invoice would be when I made the transaction?

        • csider on 27/02/2020 - 09:22

          Actually, I think it worked for you because you paid at the time of pick up it sounds like?

          I just looked at an order of an S20 I made for someone else and the invoice is dated at date of transaction.

          • mustbargain on 27/02/2020 - 12:54

            @csider: yeah you might be right, my pre-order was small amount. I paid the remainder at pickup and received a complete updated invoice

  • Ferny32 on 27/02/2020 - 00:37

    Would if this would work with a 50% off code i wonder.

    • TRD on 27/02/2020 - 00:52

      just curious where you getting 50% off code from?

      EDIT: Solved the issue and re-odered. Hope we can get the cashback eventually!
      I screen recorded the entire purchase.

  • PreOAbs on 27/02/2020 - 11:18

    Seems like my "shopping trip" was tracked ( have the trip number ). But there is nothing in the cash back amount section. Not sure how long it takes to show up

    • seanyong on 27/02/2020 - 11:39

      I hope they dont end up uneligible….

      • PreOAbs on 27/02/2020 - 12:04

        So is your cashback amount showing up? i can only see my trip to the Samsung store - No Cashback amount yet

        • seanyong on 27/02/2020 - 12:26

          I have the same. Only showing shopping trips but no amount. Maybe it needs time to track the amount?

          • PreOAbs on 27/02/2020 - 12:51

            @seanyong: I suppose so, not sure what was the case with OP here and how long it took for it to show up in their account

            • Rukiata on 28/02/2020 - 22:51

              @PreOAbs: is it showing up now?

              • PreOAbs on 29/02/2020 - 09:52

                @Rukiata: Not yet. But they say it might take a few days. So will check again in a couple of days. I am not holding my breath though.

    I can confirm this is legit. Sign up with Rakuten, enable the Chrome extension, then browse to the Samsung Australia education portal, activate the 10% cashback, pretty straight forward.

  • bargainbic on 28/02/2020 - 12:29

    Yesterday (27/2) I signed up with Rakuten, enabled the Chrome extension, browsed the Samsung Australia education portal,activated the 10% cashback, then purchased Samsung S20. It shows shopping trips but yet to show cashback balance. How long does it take to show up?

  • scottxx on 28/02/2020 - 22:15

    The same as above. Purchased yesterday but still not showing cashback balance.

  • reivaxX on 01/03/2020 - 00:13
    +2

    I had contacted Rakuten to understand why it was not automatically showing in my cashback balance. They had manually adjusted it, however had stated the below:

    "In reviewing your Samsung order confirmation, I see this was a pre-order purchase.

    Please keep in mind for any future pre-order purchases that It may take up to 7 days from the date of shipment for your order to be accurately and completely posted to your account. The dollar amount may be affected by returns, exchanges, cancellations, discounts or delays in shipment.

    Additionally, please note that for future Cash Back inquiries, we may need to submit them to the store for review, which can take a little while to resolve."

    PS. Note that cashback amount is 10% cashback of product amount excluding GST

    • PreOAbs on 01/03/2020 - 13:32

      did you just fill out the "Missing Cash Back" form on the Rakuten website, or did you contact them via some other means?

      • reivaxX on 01/03/2020 - 23:43

        Contacted them through the "Missing Cash Back" form

    • csider on 02/03/2020 - 23:32

      Guess I'm waiting 4+ weeks with my 512gb ultra…

  • tc423 on 04/03/2020 - 07:26

    ’We are only able to add Cash Back to your account when stores let us know about your order. We will contact the store to verify your order. It usually takes about 10 business days for us to hear back, but it may take up to 45 days. We realize this can be an inconvenience, and we appreciate your patience.’

      This is the response I got too.

  • Panda0810 on 04/03/2020 - 10:35

    It didn't track for me either, but i did get this response from them.

    It's over $180AUD off at the moment, but the next payment date is in May :/

    • csider on 11/03/2020 - 16:51

      Hey, was your phone on back order? Should I bother messaging Rakuten before my phone is sent out? My S20U 512GB isn't being sent out until March 26th.

      What did you say in your message?

    • yjm on 11/03/2020 - 17:14

      Submitted a "missing cashback" query. They're asking for details of my order. What info did you give them? Or did you just send them the PDF receipt from Samsung?

      • Panda0810 on 11/03/2020 - 17:49

        I initially sent a copy of my invoice (after a chat with a 'bot') on the 4th and then today I chatted to a 'person' who processed it.

        • Mine was a pre-order S20 Ultra 128gb, it shipped on the 3rd and was delivered the next day
        • yjm on 11/03/2020 - 19:01

          Thanks, Panda! I'm going to email them my invoice tonight! 👍

  • ThreeMetreFlatty on 11/03/2020 - 15:40

    Does anyone know if this is still available?

    • Panda0810 on 11/03/2020 - 17:50

      Yes. But it is 6% now, not 10%

      • ThreeMetreFlatty on 11/03/2020 - 17:53

        Ok thanks, that's what I found too but the link takes me to the U.S store instead of the Australian one.

  • Panda0810 on 11/03/2020 - 17:57

    You need to install the toolbar/button. Then head over to samsung.com/au, and activate it (Remember to disable any ad/ cookie blockers).

    If the click works, you'll see it on your account

    Mine just got approved manually too. They converted mine from USD to AUD and applied the 10% but I'll take it. Cash out in May like everyone else.

    • yjm on 15/03/2020 - 20:21

        04/03/20. Messaged them a few times, but previous results was that it takes 7 days after shipment will need to wait until then.

        • xers on 16/03/2020 - 12:07

          Did you use a referral link? If so did you get the $10 credited too?

            @xers: Yeah I did, and was credited the $10.

            Buds should arrive tomorrow too (according to AusPost tracking).

            • xers on 16/03/2020 - 16:00

              @JR63: Thanks for the response. I waited 7 days after shipment to follow up as well and now they told me they would need to contact the store to verify my order which could take anywhere from 10 to 45 days.

              • JR63 on 16/03/2020 - 16:49

                @xers: I got a similar response when I replied to an earlier email (that I sent before the 7 days), so I submitted again and got someone that manually applied it (said next time they may need to verify it with the store).

  • mikenazz on 19/03/2020 - 08:45

    They wouldn't give me my 10% reason as below.

    Unfortunately, we are not able to add Cash Back to your account for this order. The Cash Back offer is through Saumsung.com, not Samsung.com/au

    However, we truly appreciate your business and love having you as a member, so we are giving you a $100 Valued Member Bonus offer.

    Your bonus offer appears in your account under "Special Bonus Offer Just for You" at www.rakuten.com/my-account.htm.

    To qualify for this bonus, place any order through Rakuten in the next 365 days and the bonus will be added to your account.

    • xers on 19/03/2020 - 08:56

      Yep, I just got the exact same email as well.

      Looks like the ones who got it are lucky, although I wouldn't be 100% sure unless the money is in your bank account as they could revoke it anytime before final approval.

    • Yarkin on 19/03/2020 - 10:41

      I got a similar reply, although they claimed it doesn't track at all. Also I didn't get offered the $100 bonus!

      Unfortunately, Cash Back isn't available on Samsung orders made through samsung.com/au. When an order is made through Samsung's Australia website, the order doesn't track to Rakuten.com. We apologize for any inconvenience. Please let me know if you have any additional questions.

      • mikenazz on 19/03/2020 - 14:28

        Send them a reply back saying but whyyyy blah blah. See if they give the gift atleast….

          PSA I had the exact same response as Mikenazz from Rakuten. I bugged them saying that this wasn't specified prior and the chrome extension still popped up on the AU site etc. and they have now honoured it saying that it will be added to my account.
          Don't give up hope :)

          • Yarkin on 22/03/2020 - 18:05

            @cutiepie: Yeah I complained too and it paid off!
            Would have been pretty bummed if they didn't honour it, since the cashback was what made it worth getting an S20+ instead of the S10e.

            • csider on 23/03/2020 - 09:17

              @Yarkin: Did you keep pushing after they gave you $100 credit? I too was given $100 but i need to figure out how/what to buy using Rakuten given it's all US stores :/

              • Yarkin on 23/03/2020 - 09:37

                @csider: I didn't get $100 credit, just the $90 or so cashback that I was owed.

  • 18 on 24/03/2020 - 18:19

    Didn't get cashback, but they said they'll give me $100 if i make a purchase with Rakuten. What did u guys buy?

      Go magazines.com buy an ebook for 2 dollars(1dollar with cashback) after 2 hours i now have 101 dollars ready.

      • xers on 27/03/2020 - 09:33

        Thanks for the tip.

        Have you withdrawn your cashback? I couldn't find an option to withdraw immediately like Shopback or Cashrewards but seeing a message saying "Your next Big Fat Check for $101.00 will be sent by 05/15/20 via PayPal".
