Troubleshooting
I’m already signed up for the Rakuten TV reward, why do I have to relink?
We’ve made improvements to the way members can enjoy their Rakuten TV reward. This does mean you may need to re-register for the Rakuten TV reward. You can track your progress and redeem your vouchers in the Vitality Member app. Only one person on your plan can be registered for the benefit. Whoever is registered will need to earn the Vitality points and receive the reward.
If there is already someone linked on your plan receiving the weekly voucher, we’ve delinked your Rakuten TV account in the Member Zone. Your household can still enjoy a reward movie every Thursday. The person linked on the plan will need to earn 12 weekly activity points.
