HOT DEAL: 3 Months of Kiwi Crate for less than $3
If you’re looking for a terrific gift, you cannot beat Kiwi Crates – they’re so well designed and the perfect gift that will get used every month!
And right now, there is a GREAT deal on them.
You can get a 3 month subscription on any of the Kiwi Co lines (which run from babies to adults) for $2.11! Which means that each crate is only 71 cents!
Considering the normal price for one month of a box is $21.95, this is a BANANAS deal.
If you’ve been considering a Kiwi Co subscription, TODAY is the day to grab it.
Here’s How this Kiwi Co Deal Works
Sign up for Rakuten with my referral link. (You have to be a new user and use this referral link to get $40 cash back – if you just go to Rakuten on your own, it’ll only offer you a $10 bonus. If you’ve signed up for Rakuten in the past, you can have a spouse or parent sign up instead and do it that way to grab the $40 bonus!).
Once you’ve created your account, search for KiwiCo in the search bar of Rakuten and you’ll see that it’s offering 12% cash back. (For reference, it’s usually 4%).
Press the purple “Shop Now” button and it’ll take you to Kiwi Co’s site (you’ll see a message that your cash back will be automatically added today – most people say it takes about 3-4 hours for her credit to be added to their account).
Choose the crate you want to order and select the 3-month subscription option.
When you check out, use the code GIFT which will drop the price from $65.85 to $47.85 (you can also get the 6 or 12 month subscriptions and the GIFT code will work and you’ll get your 12% back and your $40 bonus. Your price per crate will be higher, but it’s still a SMOKING deal and cheaper than adding it on later).
Finish checking out and you’re good to go!
You’ll see your cash back and bonus credited to your Rakuten account within a few hours.
And in January when your kids are bouncing off the walls and need something to keep them occupied, pat yourself on the back for being such a genius.
When I click your referral link, it only offers me $10, not $40…(I’m a new user so that shouldn’t be the problem). Any ideas why?
Hmm, try opening this link in another browser: https://www.rakuten.com/r/JCGATE?eeid=28187.
Is this only valid for new customers to Kiwi Crate or can I use it on renewing my subscription?
You can use it to renew your subscription!
I did not receive a message for my &40 returned or credit. What can I do?
Contact Rakuten’s customer service and they can get it straightened out!
Quick question about Rakuten — does it always immediately check off your shopping trip as earning cash back? Or for some stores does it take longer than others to check off? I’m trying to figure out if I’m making a mistake in how I am shopping or if I just need to be more patient!
It depends on the store! Some are instant, some take a couple of days.
Be sure to use the link she has (in red) in this article. That will get your the $40.
If I want to order multiple for my different aged kids will I get 22% back per crate line? Or just 22% back one time?
22% back from your whole order!
Thanks for posting this! My kids are going to be so excited to get these for Christmas. And the step by step tutorial for ordering was super helpful…it was definitely a little tricky!
Thank you! I just checked and see $44 cash back which I assume is the bonus. Will the 22% show up later?
Totally just got myself the eureka crate subscription for date nights at home with the husband. And a kiwi crate for my kiddo for Christmas (Grandma is paying me back).
Awesome! I’ve been wanting to do this. 🙂
I am new to Rakuten, and I followed your directions for the 6 month Kiwi Crate for $79.95; however, Rakuten only gave me the 22% back based on a $48.90 Kiwi Crate purchase. Any ideas what I did wrong or how I might get the 22% off my full purchase?
Hmm, I’d send a note to customer service for Rakuten and see if they can help!
I’m also not getting a refund on my total order. I ordered a full year at $159 but Rakuten is only giving me money back on a $114 purchase? If you figure out what happened, please let me know.
I contacted their customer service and sent them a copy of my confirmation email, and they fixed it pretty quickly.
Do I have to do each crate separately to get the $40 back?
You can only get the $40 back from Rakuten one time, so if you want that for each crate, you’ll need a separate Rakuten account each time.
I had the same experience. Received $40 back with the referral code and only $11 additional (to make it $51 back) instead of the 22.5%. I messaged them and am waiting to hear back.
They have great customer service, so I’m confident they’ll adjust it for you. Let me know how it works out!
Heads up. This also happened to my order and my sister’s orders.
Yep same here! I’m curious why it’s saying only the $48.90 qualified instead of the full $79.95. I already had an account but I referred a friend and that got me the $40 I could use for this purchase so thanks!
For everyone having the issue with only getting $11 cash back- it’s because the FAMILY promo code is not on Rakuten. When you use that promo code, it takes $31.05 off your order at KiwiCo. Therefore, they are saying the $31.05 you saved gets deducted from your actual total and doesn’t count for cash back.
$79.95-$31.05=$48.90 which is the amount that technically qualifies for the 22.5% cash back
22.5% of $48.90= $11 Cash back
Did anyone else loose their $40 bonus for using the referral link? It showed up in my account yesterday and today it’s completely gone.
That’s very strange because I see the FAMILY promo code on Rakuten – if you just scroll down a bit, it’s the second one listed under “Department sale.” I’d definitely push back with customer service on that.
I see it today, but it wasn’t there yesterday! Hopefully they resolve it. Thanks for sharing such a great deal! Love all your resources!
Crossing my fingers they get it all worked out!
So, does this mean I should not apply the FAMILY discount at checkout on Kiwi.co? I’m new to using systems like this and would like to get the full amount. I scrolled on Rakuten and saw the 10% off using FAMILY. What should the price be at checkout of Kiwi to get the best deal here?
You DEFINITELY want to use the code FAMILY. It’s on Rakuten’s site so there’s no way they won’t honor it.
Plus, the FAMILY code saves you $30+ on your subscription (and more if you do a 12 month subscription), while the difference in cash back is only $6 ($11 versus $17), so it’d be foolish to miss out on a $30 coupon to try to save $6. And, with FAMILY listed on their site, you’ll get both the $30 discount AND the $17 cash back.
I get what you are saying but the promo code drops the price from $111 to $79.95. So the cash back should apply to what we paid for the box. We shouldn’t get 22% back on $111 but should get 22% back on 79.95. Why they drop it again to $48 doesn’t make sense to me
I am having the same problem and it’s makinge crazy! I want that extra $7.
Send their customer service a note and I’m confident they can get it adjusted for you – they’re really easy to work with!
I hope so. I was up to $171 from from referrals and it went down to $91. I feel like Rakuten is just a mess right now! So frustrating, bit it’s such a good deal if it works.
I also had the issue with only getting money back for $47.90. I sent a message. But I was wondering if you happen to know if you can make more than one purchase and get the 22.5% back on the second purchase? In the fine print, it said there’s a limit of 1, so didn’t try.
Oh, I don’t know!
No problem. I was trying to renew two subscriptions, and it will only let me do one per transaction. When I try to add the second renewal, it just replaces the first renewal in the cart. So strange! Oh well! Glad to have gotten this deal on one renewal!
Well. I have no cash back in my account and it’s been 24 hours. I’m bummed. I’ll be trying to cancel my subscription.
Send a note to Rakuten’s customer service – they’re super helpful and can make sure you get your cash back.
I got $17.76 but still missing the $40 from using your link. I’ll keep trying.
It doesn’t say 22.5% back now…it’s only 7.5%…but I thought we had till today. Any ideas why it’s not doing it?
It ended at midnight last night – possibly EST.
Thank you for this! What’s your Rakuten referral code or email? I somehow didn’t get it linked…

If you make separate orders in different days will you get the 22.5% back on each one? I ordered for my daughter last night and then my sister asked for this for my niece and nephew. I would assume if you do separate orders from Rakuten you still get the cash back but not sure.
Yep! Should make no difference.
I just wanted to thank you for this wonderful website and all the deals you share with us. You have even personally allowed me to email you and replied! I feel like I’m come across a gold mine! Thank you, thank you, thank you! So grateful for you and the time to give to us.
Does the Kiwi Co subscription automatically renew? If I gifted it and put the receiver’s email in for account info, will I get a notice of the renewal so I can cancel?
Just make sure to choose a 3 month subscription instead of a 3 month RENEWING subscription!
I do not see a 3 month option for the Panda crate. Which option would be the best deal?
Thank you for letting us in on this deal! I used the link to Rakuten and it showed I was already a member because I had an Ebay account. So I guess I don’t get the $40 even though I have never used Rakuten before?
If you’ve never made a purchase, it may still give it to you!
