Ok, good to know, thanks!
I use cashbackmonitor (Wine.com Best Reward Rate History by Cashback Monitor) to see when rakuten will typically raise the cash back rate. Last year on 4/15 they raised the rate to 10%, and on 5/6-5/13 they raised it to 15%. Of course, no guarantees for the future, but I would recommend stockpiling coupons that expire after those dates and pool all your orders on those dates in order to maximize the discounts.
Anyone else have the coupons?
Update (kind of): I’ve reached out to them two more times in the last 10 days, and I still haven’t heard anything.
I just tried a few of the codes listed in this thread, specifically going after the Krug. Got this message: “Only shipping discounts can be applied to this product.” Perhaps they changed the rules. Oh well.
Probably ends in .97
Any new coupons?
Been using the wineaccess.com $50 referral and the spend $150 get $50 off AMEX offers. Got this on my personal AMEX Hilton and my wife’s AMEX. Got a bottle of Opus One for $150 off. Also got a bottle of Cote Rotie La Belle Helene 2015 for $150 off with another referral.
What’s this referral with wineaccess.com? I signed up on their site but haven’t got any coupon from them yet.
Jeff, how do you get $150 off? It’s $50 from Amex, $50 for sign-up if one can get that to work. What else?
Here is my referral link to wineaccess. It gives new customers $50 off of $150 in addition to the AMEX offer. http://share.wineaccess.com/v/shay
You get a $50 discount on your first order via referral. If you have an Amex offer like I did, it gave $50 off a $150 purchase and can be used 3x. A $300 purchase triggers the $50 credit twice. I bought the bottle of Opus One for $365 and got the $50 first time customer from a referral discount plus $100 back from Amex. So the $365 bottle of Opus One was $215. My second order I just got $50 off the order over $150.
I used my wife’s AMEX and sent her a referral. Got another $150 off the first order (over $300) and then used my $50 referral bonus with her remaining $50 Amex offer.
Just in case anyone need’s a $50 credit: WineAccess - Find & Buy Online the World’s Best Wines from Bordeaux to Napa, Direct From the Source
This combo is INSANE! Their selection is not extensive, but I put together a small order for a little over $200 that netted to a little over $100 with free shipping. Included in my order were two bottles of NV Laherte Freres Blanc de Blancs Brut Nature at about $30 net each (pre-discount is $60)! Now if I had only entered through the Rakuten portal on Valentine’s day . . .
Which state were you having the Château Cos d’Estournel shipped to? It shows that it’s $249.99
It’s a good deal if you like the wines they sell.
Colorado. Looks like they’ve bumped the price up $10 since last week.
ah…! Shucks!
Has anyone compiled a list of good deals on wineaccess site?
Thank you!
