Rakuten's got a crazy deal happening right now with CookUnity, a meal delivery service, and you're going to want to jump on it ASAP – because who knows how long it will last! Basically, you can get 45x Rakuten points (or 45% cashback) on your CookUnity order. The best part? Rakuten seems to be calculating this based on the subtotal before discounts, which means you're earning a ton more than you normally would.
But wait, it gets better! You can stack this Rakuten deal with existing credit card offers from Amex, Chase, or Citi for even deeper discounts. One user even ended up making money after all the discounts and cashback were applied, getting 16 meals and $27 in rewards. YMMV (your mileage may vary) since it's unclear if Rakuten will continue calculating the cashback this way.
If you're new to Rakuten, you can sign up using a referral link and get an extra $50 back! Also, Rakuten has a separate offer for $45 back on Gobble meal delivery which you can read about in this post. This is a sweet opportunity to try out CookUnity at a potentially ridiculously low price, rack up some serious Rakuten points, and maybe even score a few free meals. Don't wait, though – deals like this don't stick around forever!
Why This Matters for Your Strategy
News in the points-and-miles world moves fast, and promotional changes often have a short window. If this announcement affects a card or program you hold, log into your awardtrail dashboard to check your current benefit usage, bonus progress, and whether a transfer or redemption makes sense right now — before terms change.
As a general rule: transfer points only when you have a specific redemption in mind — transfers are almost always one-way and non-reversible. If you're unsure of the value, check our redemption guides before acting.
