Re: Rakuten Global & Ebates
I've been thinking that maybe 10% is the max this time? Because on November 28th 2018 (today) the 20% CB ended and nothing followed. Do I buy at 10%? I don't even know what to do. Or do I buy at 2:59am EST and if it switches to 20% just complain to Rakuten about it????uaconcorde wrote:the anticipation is unbearable

Re: Rakuten Global & Ebates
Well I risked it and put an order in at 4 minutes before the changeover time. Looks like its still 10% CB though... We shall see if I made a good choice or not

Congrat on the pick up!!!!!

Rakuten cashback jumped to 12%. Still hoping it jumps higher for New Years!

Re: Rakuten Global & Ebates
Me too! I was really surprised that it only went to 12% at the end of the year. Last year, at the end of December, was the first time the CB jumped to 26%. I got extremely lucky to recognize the deal and got a grail watch then. It would be nice if we could get a favorable exchange rate and some more, good cash back sometime in 2020. The only bad thing is that I want another Rolex (probably 14060M no-date Sub) and so I've been watching the Japanese watch market for months and the Rolex prices for pre-owned GMT's, Subs, Explorer, Explorer II have all been trending up and up and up. Even with 26% CB the deals wouldn't be that great these days and maybe not enough to warrant the risk of losing the CB or getting hit with duties.... The great deals are for new Sinn, Bell & Ross, Omega, etc. from the Japanese gray dealers.ILiveOnWacker wrote: ↑Tue Dec 31, 2019 7:10 amAnd it’s back to 4%.

Re: Rakuten Global & Ebates
I really don't think Cashback will ever be that high again due to the changes the company made in q4 2019 when the Amex points card thing and the Rakuten global express promos. I hope I'm wrong though.
I do admit to buying about 11 watches from Rakuten global market in 2019 though, from different sellers each time. I will try and list them all later and rate how each purchase went and which removed sales tax or gave further discounts etc.

Re: Rakuten Global & Ebates
I remember hearing about that. It doesn’t have cashback though, right? I vaguely remember getting more Rakuten points as the benefit.AndroidIsAwesome wrote:I really don't think Cashback will ever be that high again due to the changes the company made in q4 2019 when the Amex points card thing and the Rakuten global express promos.

Re: Rakuten Global & Ebates
I honestly don't remember all the details about it. But it was something like more points on your card if you have one and no Cashback instead?ILiveOnWacker wrote:I remember hearing about that.
