(Literally) unbelievable deal from Capital One Shopping

Unfortunately, this deal is dead and it appears, at least temporarily, that the Capital One Shopping Portal referral program has been discontinued.

Background

Although we have mentioned before that we tend to default to the American Airlines Shopping Portal and Rakuten as our shopping portals of choice, the Capital One Shopping Portal is out with an insane sign-up bonus right now. If you have never used the portal before, if you sign up and install the Capital One Shopping desktop computer or mobile browser extension via our referral link, and make Qualifying Purchase(s) totaling $10 within 30 days of signing up, you will receive $150 in rewards (can be used for gift cards to stores like Nike, DoorDash, TJ Maxx/Marshalls, CVS, Nike, Lowes, etc.) A Qualifying Purchase simply means a purchase via Capital One Shopping that earns Capital One Shopping Rewards.

The Capital One Shopping Portal

The Capital One Shopping is an easy-to-use browser extension and app that allows you to earn rewards, in the form of gift cardsm for purchases online at thousands of popular retailers. The portal also features access to hundreds of coupon codes to help you save money on online purchases. It does NOT require a Capital One credit card or checking/savings account. Here’s our “Offers” homepage right now (unlike most shopping portals, the percentage cash back for each retailer is personalized to you):

Full disclosure: We don’t use the portal much anymore, unless we get an insane targeted offer like 24% back on purchases at Giftcards.com or 30% back at Viator. Why? Because the rewards are in gift cards, rather than airline miles or in straight cash back, as well as a few instances that our points did not automatically trigger and we had to do the back-and-forth to try and get them to post.

However, this deal is DEFINITELY worth doing to grab the easy $150 in rewards. It’s a no-brainer! Additionally, you help support us in a really simple way, as we continue to create content and resources that try to help you travel freely and frugally!

Conclusion

Since the Capital One Shopping portal is free, you’ve got nothing to lose by giving it a try! Plus, right now, you will earn $150 in rewards for both you and us if you make a qualifying purchase over just $10. Although I wouldn’t recommend using it as your everyday shopping portal, I do recommend that you keep the browser extension even after your first purchase, because pleasantly surprising (and huge!) discounts pop up all the time at checkout without any effort from me.

Sign up and install the Capital One Shopping desktop computer or mobile browser extension via our referral link and make your $10 purchase today!
