Update 3/5/23: Back to 6% on the Capital One Shopping app only. (ht Maybe Frugal)
Update 12/1/22: Back to 8% on Capital One Offers – that’s not the regular portal, it’s special offers for Capital One credit cardholders, but it’s better than the portal in that it credits cash back (limit $1,000/quarter). You don’t really need to pay with a Capital One credit card, just have to click through, though the official terms say to use a Capital One card. (ht karmafuture)
Update 11/1/22: Back to 8%, but some tracking issues.
Update 10/20/22: Back to 8%. Hat tip to Bockrr

I wouldn’t advise doing this offer until the current situation with clawback errors get resolved.
Capital One Shopping clawed back over $700 rewards from my November 2022 orders, now my rewards balance is negative. Don’t save the remaining balance as you never know why they claw back
I just had all of my giftcards.com Capital One Shopping transactions cancelled this morning. They were already credited in my account and I just hadn’t redeemed them for any gift card yet. All of the credits seem to have been clawed back. It was over $75 in credits. All gift cards were purchased over the Christmas holiday when giftcards.com was running a code to effectively eliminate the transaction fee.
Showing 5% for me. But that’s 7% total with 2% in points.
I have tried this with Cap One card and w/o. Cap One paid when I used their card, but only after calling several times.
OK to use this to satisfy Chase Ink Business card spending requirements?
yes
6% through app and 3% through amex BCE = 9% of 255.95 = 23$. Could be better with a coupon for fee removal
Are you sure it gets 3% through Amex BCE?
Sorry, I was thinking of Officedepot deal. Amex BCE does not give 3% for giftcards.com. Use 2% card. But in spite of that, the net gain is about 5% because of that 6$ fee. Not worth.
It has been a long time since the last visa/mc discount on gidtcards.com.
Don’t expect one anytime soon.
It never tracked for me. I wouldn’t use Capone shopping again for giftcards.com
Same experience here. Not had a single purchase tracked so far out of 6 transactions. Tried website, mobile app, incognito browser with ad blockers turned off… nothing tracks at Cap1.
There’s a good reason they call themselves Capone Shopping…
