Rakuten: Cash Back & Deals
some mismatch with reviewsThe cashback mechanic works for small amounts and standard stores, but large payouts get stuck in processing for months, many stores fail to open via the in-app redirect, and point accrual has become opaque. Users with over a year of experience report a decline in service quality.

About the rating
A rating of 4.82 looks inflated at a text average of 2.59 and only 32% five stars, though a base of real users clearly exists.
A mismatch is an analytical signal, not proof that the rating was manipulated.
