If you shop online at all, this is the perfect week to do it. You can score 15% cash back on your internet purchases.

Yes — fifteen percent.

A complimentary browser add-on called Rakuten partners with nearly every retailer you shop at online, which means it delivers a rebate whenever you buy.

From May 9–16, it’s running a promotion named Big Give Week, offering 15% cash back at hundreds of stores, brands and services. This eight-day shopping event spans a wide array of categories including clothing and accessories, health and beauty, travel, electronics, home essentials, subscription services, dining and more.

Here’s another standout deal: a massive $30 referral reward. If you refer someone to Rakuten during Big Give Week and they sign up and spend at least $30 on a qualifying purchase, both you and the friend receive a $30 bonus. So collectively, you’d spend $30 to get $60 in rewards.

After you install the browser extension (it’s secure), it automatically provides three helpful features:

It earns you cash back on purchases from over 2,500 retailers, including Target, Walmart, eBay, Kohl’s, Macy’s, Petco, Sam’s Club, Best Buy and Lowe’s.
It auto-applies coupon codes at checkout. Boom — instant savings!
It notifies you if the item you’re about to purchase is available for less elsewhere. Because why pay more?

You’ll receive your cash back via PayPal or by check.

Plus, Rakuten is an official NBA partner, so there’s an extra perk during Big Give Week: if you make a qualifying purchase of at least $25 at select retailers, you could be eligible to get a complimentary Fanatics player T-shirt and a New Era 9Forty team cap from top NBA squads.

It takes under a minute to download the free browser extension, set up a Rakuten account and begin shopping. All that’s required is an email address, and you can immediately start buying from your favorite stores through the service.
