Original post: Ouch! Capital One Shopping portal removed the following gift card redemption options: Walmart, Safeway, Bed Bath & Beyond, Petco. They’ve added a few new brands, such as CVS, SiriusXM, and few others.
The portal does not allow directly cashing out rewards; we need to purchase a gift card. Walmart and Safeway were probably the most commonly used cash out options. They do have many more top brand redemption options (direct link), such as Home Depot, Lowe’s, eBay, Kohl’s, Nike, etc.
Personally, I’ve always cashed out via Walmart gift cards. I’m not sure how much I’ll be using the portal going forward given that I don’t really shop at any of those other brands consistently.
If you have a Capital One credit card, it’s a good idea to check if the Capital One Offers within your bank login have the same offer since those rewards get cashed out as a statement credit. They often have similar – or even better – rates to the Capital One Shopping portal. See our post Numerous Flavors Of The Capital One Shopping Portal to better understand the different options.
Hat tip to Frequentmiler
CVS is a decent redemption option but I just noticed it says “Please note: This reward can only be redeemed in store and must be presented in printed form to the cashier.” How obnoxious. Any chance somebody tried using it online anyway?
Grubhub has been removed as of 03/18/25
Capital One Shopping offers cashback on Apple.com and unlike most other portals, most products are not excluded. I recently got 1.5% back on a new MacBook. It took several days but it did track automatically.
Looks like they added:
Belk
ASOS
Petco
Also Lane Bryant and HelloFresh.
And today, Walgreens.
The below are now added.
Petco
ASOS
Belk
Can anyone even find Safeway GCs anymore? I went through the list and can’t see them on the redemption page.
Yes, look towards the bottom, the orange and green one.
Thanks, I honestly missed that twice until you mentioned it. Kept looking for something in Safeway/Albertson’s colors.
Got a $45 signup reward yesterday after a whole month and some days of waiting, only for the best options to get removed not even 5 minutes later. Terrible luck. I’ll just let it sit there until they add them back, which is probably gonna be quite a while.
LOL I finally gave up and signed up yesterday before closing up my last remaining account with capital one. Can’t imagine state of things 30 days from now.
Still waiting on my signup bonus from this junk site. I’ve gotten signup and referral bonuses from more shady portals, like Top Cashback without issues. Didn’t expect to get screwed by Capital One.
I did not like cashback portal anyways.
F****k!! I was supposed to redeem Kroger. Only useful option out of all
eBay works out really well as a redemption option. I fix cars for a living, so I buy tools on there and additionally you can get rewards on those gift card purchases (pay for whole total with gift cards otherwise total is reported wrong) and I’ve been getting 6.5% back on rewards I already earned, infinite money (diminishing value though) If eBay goes away I’ll likely stop using C1S. Only thing I had bought at Walmart was oil and oil filters with the occasional tool
it *is* possible to “convert” these to cash, less seller fees, but it is a lot of work with a lot of risk (ebay might ban you, lock your funds for as long as it feels like)
