Not saving anymore – Rakuten: Cash Back & Deals Review

I have been a user of this app for years with $2k lifetime cash back. I found when shopping for Christmas this year the savings were nonexistent. For example- has a browser window open with 10 items in cart at the Gap. I opened a second window with this site, clicked Gap with 10% cash back and added the same items to the cart. The original browser window was a cheaper total price. The window opened through rakuten inflated the original price of all items. I tried it again with Ulta and the same thing. There used to be real savings here, but unfortunately doesn’t seem to be the case anymore.
