This popular promotion is back again: Get 95% cash back on LifeLock subscriptions via Rakuten (formerly known as Ebates). It's pretty appealing anytime you can get 95% cash back on a purchase. But this promotion gets even better because Rakuten<\/a> members can choose to receive rewards as American Express Membership Rewards instead of cash back<\/a>.<\/p>\n

That means you can earn 95X Membership Rewards points through this promotion \u2014 which makes this a spectacular deal. Here are the details of this offer, which is even better for new Rakuten members.<\/p>\n

What Is Rakuten?<\/span><\/h2>\n

Rakuten \u2014 which some may know better as its former name, Ebates \u2014 is an online shopping portal that offers cash back on certain promotions when you click through its website before making purchases. If you're not familiar, we have an introduction to shopping portals<\/a>. They're a great way to earn extra cash back or points on things you're already buying anyway.<\/p>\n

Earn cash back or Amex Membership Rewards points<\/span><\/h3>\n

What really makes Rakuten awesome is that you can choose whether you want to receive your earnings as cash back or as American Express Membership Rewards<\/a>. If you use these points wisely, they can be worth much more than the 1\u00a2 cash back you'd otherwise earn through Rakuten. For reference, AwardWallet users typically redeem their Amex points at 1.99\u00a2 apiece<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Even if you want cash back, your Membership Rewards earnings can become even more valuable than one cent each. That's because those who hold the American Express Platinum Card\u00ae<\/sup> by Charles Schwab<\/a> can cash out their Membership Rewards points at 1.1\u00a2 per point. Eligible cardmembers can opt to earn Amex points and then convert up to one million Amex points per year into 1.1\u00a2 in cash back<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Rakuten new member bonus<\/span><\/h3>\n

If you've never signed up for Rakuten before, you're in luck. Rakuten is offering a new member bonus for those who have never had an account before. Right now, the public bonus is $10 cash back — or 1,000 Membership Rewards points if you opt to earn points instead.<\/p>\n

However, you'll get a much better $50 cashback (or 5,000 bonus Membership Rewards points) if you sign up through a referral link. To earn your $50 cash-back bonus, all you need to do is:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Create a new Rakuten account via an existing member's referral (If you need a referral, here's a referral link<\/a>).<\/li>\n
  2. Spend at least $50 on Rakuten Shopping Trips within 90 days of opening your account.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
