  • Got a clawback on Ollie today, I do have a screenshot of the coupon I used being in the Cap1 shopping drop down, so I'll wait a few days then challenge it.

  • Anyone try the Talkroute offer? The offer I received is $225 for the basic plan, which is $19.99/mo, making this a $204 mm if I can cancel after the first month. Anyone know if that works?

      • I did the offer yesterday, and it tracked for me as ineligible as well. I didn't do a trial, so I am a paid subscriber on the Basic plan.

        I'm suspicious that some of these small venture backed startups like Talkroute and Spot & Tango are offering the high dollar offers through Cap1 to help their new subscriber numbers, with the intention of falsely reporting to Cap1 that sales weren't actually made.

      • Do you mean that you used the trial, or that you didn't use it and that the offer was maybe only for the trial? The email they sent me does have the phrase "Start Free Trial", but I was planning on signing up for the plan without using a trial...

  • For the $191 Ollie offer, be careful to reschedule the second order.

    They sent me a reminder email -- mine would have been $243!

  • some of these, like AT&T for business, offer crazy amounts like $400, but the terms really dont tell you what it is you have to buy...

  • The cheapest I can get the meal plan for Farmer's Dog is $19, is there another way to make it more profitable?

  • Is is churnable? I have used the Ollie MM once and it still shows as the same offer. Can I use it once more by making another account?

      • is it smart to just do a bunch of these or should you spread it out? i read here about people getting their balances wiped.

      • thank you. i did the trick for ollie and got offered $190.

        how/when will i know if it tracked successfully?

        • There is the Shopping Trips [Beta] link in the hamburger menu for you to check your shopping trips. Once a trip is tracked, you should see it under Trip with purchases. How long it will take varies by the merchant. Also, Capital One may send you an email notification that you have cashback on the way once a shopping trip has been tracked, but it does not always happen.

  • my tracking status for all of these changed from pending to inactive today for all of these, anyone else see the same?

    • It should be a temporary glitch. It happened to me before, and the status went back to normal later.
