Just treated myself to a nice pair of speakers, so I thought why not propose the deal to other redflag members if they are waiting on the famous finicky cashback from Ali x Rakuten.
Rakuten.com (the US site) is currently offering 15% cashback on AliExpress. Since AliExpress prices are global, you can shop on the US portal and still ship to Canada to get the higher rate.
Essential Tips for Successful Tracking
AliExpress is notoriously finicky with cashback. To ensure your 15% doesn’t vanish, follow these steps:
Use Rakuten.com (US), not .ca: Even if you are in Canada, log into the US site. You can get paid out via PayPal in USD (which is a bonus).
Clear your Cookies/Incognito: Start with a fresh Incognito window. Log into Rakuten first, then click the AliExpress link.
Empty your Cart First: Don’t have items sitting in your cart before clicking through Rakuten. Add them after you’ve activated the session.
Avoid the App: Complete the entire transaction in a desktop browser. Mobile app hand-offs often break the tracking string.
Disable Ad-Blockers: UBlock Origin or Pi-hole can kill the tracking pixel. Disable them for this transaction.
Stick to “Rakuten Approved” Coupons: Using “Influencer” codes or certain “exclusive” coins-only discounts can sometimes void the affiliate commission (and thus your cashback). Standard “Choice Day” coupons are usually safe.
Known Exclusions
Virtually No Cashback on: Gift cards, shipping fees, or “Special Items” (some sellers opt out).
Bulk/Wholesale: Orders flagged as commercial/reseller might be denied.
Wait Time: Be prepared to wait. AliExpress cashback often stays “Pending” until the 60-90 day buyer protection window closes to ensure you didn’t return the item.
How to maximize this:
Log into Rakuten.com.
Search AliExpress and click “Shop Now” (Confirm the 15% activation pop-up).
Add items to cart.
Pay with a No-FX credit card (like Wealthsimple or EQ) to avoid the 2.5% conversion fee.
