Re: Rakuten MR Visa

Thanks everyone!  I've been working with MR and UR and figured that with the massive increase in MR return this was well worth it.  

I'm still using UR anywhere I get 3x or better but now anything in Rakuten is worth that as well so I'll be looking there for everything first!  This is an absolute game changer!

Whole reason I got it!  Off the top of my head I know it will add around a thousand MR points a month minimum! 

Thanks for your post, I hadn't really realized it's worth until you pointed it out.  Like you said, who'd have figured that a SYNC Visa would work so well for MR earning?!

 

It is in fact a perfect match to my EDP/BBP and CSR!

Yeah I am kind of kicking myself for not getting it when the MR option rolled out last year.  I actually had a near moment of panic when I was looking at my earnings and thought, "did I just miss out on 250k+ extra MRs over the past year for not having this?!?"  Fortunately, my Appaholics Anonymous sponsor suggested I break down my Rakuten/eBates earnings based on  what I would have actually charged to this card and it wasn't so bad since there were a lot of Amex Offers, Chase Offers, grocery purchases, hotel bookings, etc. that I would not used this card for.  But still definitely going to be hundreds of extra dollars in MRs every year.

 

Glad you got it; as I am sure you are aware, this one seems to be difficult to obtain at times even for those with great scores.

Honestly, I wasn't aware of that when I apped 🤣.  I just kinda said "ahhh well it'll definitely benefit me" and hit submit.  I didn't do much research for DPs.  Very glad to have gotten it though!

 

I haven't missed out on too much yet in reality but theoretically I'm beyond foolish for not apping earlier.  Definitely not hurting but glad to have it for the extra earn.
