Retailer overview
Mr Porter is the luxury menswear site launched in 2011 as the male counterpart to Net-a-Porter. Both were owned by Richemont’s Yoox Net-a-Porter group until April 24, 2025, when Mytheresa completed its purchase of YNAP and renamed the combined company LuxExperience B.V. (NYSE: LUXE); Richemont kept a 33% stake. The Outnet, YNAP’s off-price arm, was sold separately to a US operator in April 2026 and is no longer part of the group.
For a stacker, the ownership change mattered more than it might seem. Under Richemont, Mr Porter ran one of the most generous affiliate programs in luxury, which showed up as 6-12% Rakuten rates. Under LuxExperience, the rates reset to the 2-4% that’s normal for the category. What Mr Porter still has is a willingness to run card-linked offers, and right now that’s the layer doing the work.
Cashback portal strategy
| Portal | New customer | Existing customer | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| TopCashback | 7% ($350+), 5% under $350 | 4% | 3% watches and sale, 2% markdowns, 1% Nike/adidas/New Balance. Unlisted codes void cashback. |
| Rakuten | 2% | 2% | No “was” rate. Long brand exclusion list (see FAQ). US site only. |
TopCashback leads for a first order; Rakuten and TopCashback are close for repeat customers (2% vs 4%). Both portals pay a reduced rate on sale merchandise, which is a change from the old “8% on sale prices” era. Compare on the day; the tiers move.

Credit card / Amex Offer strategy
This is now the strongest layer at Mr Porter.
- Amex Offer: $100 back on $500+, live, expires November 8, 2026. A prior $100-on-$500 ran through November 2025.
- Chase Offer: $100 back on $500+, live, expires November 9, 2026. A prior one expired May 18, 2026.
Both are statement credits, so they stack with the 10% code, either portal, and sale prices. Both are targeted; check every Amex and Chase card you hold. Mr Porter codes as department store or apparel, so no travel-card category bonus applies; pay with whichever card carries the offer.
Codes, loyalty, and referral
New-customer code. 10% off a first order, delivered after newsletter signup. Aggregators list exclusions of sale items, fine watches, grooming, Tom Ford, Brunello Cucinelli, and Gucci; the minimum spend is unverified (Mr Porter’s help pages wouldn’t load). Not listed on either portal, so pairing it with cashback is a tracking risk.
MR PORTER Rewards. Silver, Gold, Platinum, and EIP tiers by annual spend. Free shipping from Silver up. Perks, not points.
Referral. None found.

Checkout sequence
- Check Amex Offers and Chase Offers on every card. Add any Mr Porter offer you find.
- New customer? Sign up for the newsletter and wait for the 10% code. Check that your brand isn't excluded from it.
- Decide code vs. portal. Under $1,400, the code wins; use it and treat any cashback as a bonus. Over that, run both numbers.
- Clean browser session, ad blockers off. Activate TopCashback (first order) or Rakuten (repeat) and click through.
- Build the cart. Apply the code at checkout if you're using it.
- Pay with the card holding the offer; the spend must clear $500 in one transaction.
- Confirm the portal shows the order pending within 48 hours.
$1,200 first order, full price, non-excluded brand
Without a card offer: $142 (12%). In May this page claimed $216 to $240 on the same order; the difference is the portal reset.

The $100 offers expire in early November. We email when they renew, when the winter sale opens, and if Rakuten or TopCashback moves above 8%.
