Why Am I No Longer Earning Cash Back at Restaurants?

Your card may have been unlinked from Rakuten Dining. If your card was unlinked, you won’t earn 5% Cash Back (10% for Rakuten American Express® Cardholders) at restaurants until it’s relinked.

This can happen for several reasons, for example:

  • Your card was linked to another dining rewards program: Cards can only be enrolled in one dining rewards program at a time. If you link your card to another rewards program, it will automatically unlink from Rakuten Dining.
  • Your card was removed from your Rakuten account: If you manually removed your card from the Linked Cards section of your account, you will no longer earn Cash Back at participating restaurants.

What should I do?

In the Rakuten app, go to Dining and tap Add next to any offer. This will automatically relink your card.

If you don't have the app:

  1. Go to Linked Cards in your account.     
  2. Remove your card.     
  3. Select Link a Card and re-enter your card information.
