Rakuten: Earn 95% Back On Norton (Stack With Amex Offer For Moneymaker)

Update 2/11/24: Available again. Amex offer is 20% back currently.

Update 9/4/23: 95x back on Rakuten for Norton, Lifelock, NordVPN. Also check for a Chase Offer, Amex Offer for Norton, and for any Fidelity Bloom offers. If you have the Amex business card offer for 25% back, you can buy the $200 Norton plan and turn this into a $40 moneymaker. Can be worth more if you value Rakuten points at more than one-cent-per-point. (ht mms82 on Reddit)

The Offer

• Shopping portal Rakuten/eBates is offering 95% cash back on LifeLock purchases

Our Verdict

Rakuten cashback can be converted into American Express Membership Rewards points. LifeLock Ultimate Plus Plan is the most expensive plan, this will cost $296.90 and you’d earn $267.21 or 26,721 MR rewards points. This works out to be 1.11¢ per point. New Rakuten members can get another 3,000 points for signing up as well.

Personally this is an easy pass for me, too much room for something to go wrong and I don’t really want to have to deal with that for a very slight profit. Others (especially people that value MR points highly) will find this worth doing.
