About DealZone – How We Work & How We Earn

🏠 What Is DealZone?

DealZone is an independent website that helps shoppers understand how to earn cash back on popular sports and activewear brands — including Nike, Adidas, Lululemon, Under Armour, Gymshark, Sephora, Best Buy, and Alo Yoga — using Rakuten's cash back programme.

We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or officially partnered with Rakuten or any of the brands featured on this site. We are an independent third-party site that participates in Rakuten's standard referral programme — the same programme available to any Rakuten member.

      💡 Think of us as a guide that explains how Rakuten works and helps you get set up — similar to a personal finance blog that explains how to open a savings account.
    

💰 How Does DealZone Earn Money?

We want to be completely transparent about this. DealZone earns money through Rakuten's standard referral programme. Here's exactly how it works:

You click our referral link

When you click "Join via This Link" on our site, you're taken to Rakuten's sign-up page with our referral code embedded in the URL.

You sign up to Rakuten (free)

Rakuten is completely free to join. No credit card required. You create an account directly on Rakuten.com.

You make a qualifying purchase

If you make a qualifying purchase of $50 or more through Rakuten within 90 days of signing up, Rakuten pays you a welcome bonus and pays us a referral fee — from Rakuten's own budget, not from your purchase.

We use that fee to run this site

The referral fee we earn from Rakuten pays for our website hosting, content writing, and daily running costs. It does not affect the cash back you receive — Rakuten pays both of us.

To be clear:

✓ You pay nothing extra — our referral fee comes from Rakuten, not you

✓ Your cash back is not reduced by our referral fee

✓ The $50 welcome bonus (if eligible) comes entirely from Rakuten

✓ We only earn if you sign up and complete a qualifying purchase within 90 days

📋 Important Disclosures

We are not Rakuten. DealZone is an independent site. The information we provide is our own research and guidance — it is not official Rakuten content.

Cash back rates change. Rakuten adjusts cash back rates at any time without notice. Always verify the current rate directly on Rakuten.com before making a purchase.

The $50 welcome bonus is Rakuten's standard offer. It is available to new Rakuten members who make a qualifying $50+ purchase within 90 days of sign-up, subject to Rakuten's referral programme terms. It is not exclusive to DealZone — it is Rakuten's standard new member incentive.

We are a participant in Rakuten's referral programme. This is the same programme any Rakuten member can join. We are not a Sponsored Influencer or official Rakuten partner unless explicitly stated.

🎯 Why Did We Build DealZone?

We noticed that a lot of people don't know Rakuten exists — or don't know how to use it effectively to save money on brands they already shop at. We built DealZone to make that process simple and clear.

Our guides walk you through exactly how to activate cash back, what the current rates are (based on past promotions), and how to make sure your $50 welcome bonus is properly tracked when you sign up.
