Not while you're on the shopping site. However, from recent experience, an email (subject: You have received Rapid Rewards Points; check your spam folder, that's where mine go) comes about 5 days later. Points post the day after that. All in all very prompt compared to, say, Hilton. And great for extending the expiration of one's companion's points.

I've had good experience with being notified within 5 days of earning points and of the points posting quickly with all merchants save one... Walgreens. With Walgreens, I always have to contact Cartera customer service after waiting the 8 weeks requested and send an email. To their credit, they usually get me the points within a few days of that. But, Walgreens is very frustrating.

I get the email sometimes.....but if you check the "my shopping account" link at the top of the main shopping page, purchases will show up there also a few days later.
If you are using IE, then sometimes the my shopping page doesn't work. I use Firefox when I want to check things out.
One thing I noticed with my points that posted this past Tuesday is there was 3 purchases from 3 separate retailers that all posted together as a lump sum.

Drugstore.com is more reliable

Here is a heads up for everyone running Firefox. I have installed a great add on called Ghostery that prevents those targeted ads based on searches done on other sites. However, it also prevents proper handshaking to the shopping sites. Be sure and turn off blocking while shopping.
I lost a few points learning this lesson.

Thanks, everyone. I checked any blocking and had none. And nothing in my spam email. Checked the My Shopping Account and nothing there. This transaction was with Home Depot. It took some time and my "session" on the Rapid Rewards page kept timing out. It's only been 6-7 days since I ordered so will keep watching. Thanks for all the helpful info.
