If you are anything like most Americans, you have waited for Black Friday and Cyber Monday to shop for the things you want and need at a discounted rate. But sometimes those things are just not available at a cheaper price at Amazon, Walmart, Best Buy, or any other major retailer. It’s frustrating to wait so long only to realize that the items you’ve been eyeing are still the same price as a month ago.
That’s where Rakuten’s 20 percent off sitewide sale really comes in handy. The retailer sells tens of thousands of items, from electronics and video games to exercise machines, tools, and toys. It even sells things like furniture, clothes, and supplies for pets.
Simply apply code CYBER20 at checkout to receive the 20 percent off discount — but act fast, the promotion is ending today.
Shop Rakuten’s Cyber Monday Sale Now
There are two caveats with the promotion. The first one is that you’ll need to get a Rakuten account to be able to use the promo code, but having an account has additional benefits, as well. You collect points for each purchase you make on the site. Those points can then be applied to future purchases to reduce the already discounted prices. Secondly, discounts are capped at $60 regardless of how much you spend, which means this deal is best for products that are sitting at around the $300 price range or below.
To help you take advantage of the sitewide sale, here are popular items you can purchase with and save.
Google Wi-Fi (3-pack) + Wi-Fi Smart Plug (2-pack) bundle — get it for $224 with code (originally $280)
Apple iPad 32GB with Wi-Fi – Space Gray MR7F2LL/A (Latest Model) — get it for $250 with code (originally $310)
Beats Studio3 Wireless Over-Ear Headphones – Matte Black — get it for $216 with code (originally $270)
Nest Thermostat E — get it for $108 with code (originally $145)
Nintendo Switch — get it for $278 with code (originally $338)
Haven’t heard of Rakuten? It’s like Amazon in the sense that it’s a marketplace for third-party merchants to sell a broad range of products to consumers like you.

What's happened? This week, China's Quality Certification Center released information about a battery (EB-BS04898ABY) with a maximum capacity of 4,855mAh. That's the same capacity as was previously seen in the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra, and fans have taken this certification to mean the Galaxy S26 Ultra will not see a capacity increase after all.
The Samsung Galaxy Ultra models have had the same battery capacity for the last five years.
What's happened? Samsung has officially announced the Galaxy Tab S10 Lite, a budget-friendly alternative to the Galaxy Tab S10. The device has been rumored for months, but this is the first time Samsung has officially acknowledged its existence.
The Galaxy Tab S10 Lite will have a 10.9-inch display and a peak brightness of 600 nits — a bit on the lower side, versus the iPad Pro's maximum brightness of 1,600 nits.
