Got mine today as well!

@pakle
I submitted on Wednesday 2/19, and today it says “Your submission is currently being processed. Please check back later for your rebate status.” Oddly, the submit date is showing as 2/21/25 (today).
This is my first time submitting for the rebate.

My recent Safeway receipt has the $5/$5 as “Additional Discounts” before the tax, and the balance line says $0. I probably wouldn’t risk it.

I forgot about this yesterday and spent $5.30 or so at a supermarket. Would have added something else, but I guess I have time before it expires.

I had to go to the Missing Cashback screen on the Help page and submit my confirmation email details. It was theoretically approved and is currently Pending. This happens to me much more often with Rakuten than it used to, I just try and watch to make sure the cashback is registered and I request it if not. As far as I can recall, I haven’t had anything rejected when I make the manual request.

Anyone get the $10 cash backl from Rakuten, 15 hours later I am not seeing anything tracking. I guess if I don’t see the $10 tracking in the next two weeks I can just cancel for a full refund as long as I don’t use the $5 off $5 for this month.

Nothing yet, but I"m going to give it a few days, and then if it doesn’t show up I’ll contact support.

Thanks for the information about the clearance sections in Shaw’s. I have Safeway here, and I haven’t noticed a clearance section per department but I’ll take a closer look.

I have a stash of butter in my freezer as well, but I haven’t seen any decent sales/free butter in a while and I’m always looking to stock up on things like that. Thanks again for all the detail.

I’m paying with $200 prepaid Visa from Staples (no activation fee, 5% Chase Ink) which will be empty when it comes time to renew in a year. I liked having staggered expiration dates so I’m getting one a week.

Interesting. I tried that, with both a Visa and MC from Staples, and both were rejected, saying it only takes credit or debit cards (despite these being supposedly debit cards). Had to use a regular credit card. I’ll just have to make sure I cancel in time next year.

I haven’t ever seen dairy clearanced at my store. Is it just tagged in the usual space, or do they move it elsewhere?

I signed up for FreshPass today, and Rakuten said they give $10 cash back for FreshPass yearly membership. Hopefully that will come through, it didn’t say a minimum cost.

The stores near me always have some flower bouquets for $5, so last year I was getting those once a month (they can last a few weeks). So just for that this is worth it for me, even if I don’t get any other benefit. I was hoping the Amex offer would work on this to make it better, but unfortunately it’s on the full price.

I found it in my account under coupons, not KC (also in the banner in the email I deleted this morning).
Thanks for the heads up!
