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.

What are the better options to cashout to? Walmart?
I don’t see Walmart in my gift card selection. Am I missing anything?
Seems to be gone at the moment — no problem redeeming for Walmart on Dec 7th
Does this link work for you?

Speaking of Kroker, a federal court has just issued a preliminary injunction blocking the merger with Albertson’s/Safeway.
no one has been speaking of Kroker
Kroger: is that for orders made with shipping only, not in store or pick up?
More redemption options have been added. Kroger and Uber Eats among others.
Check DoC’s article on Uber’s and Lyft’s scandalous pricing practices before committing to those gift cards.
Was finally able to redeem the $25 I had in there since January 2023 😂
Does giftcards.com show up in the app for others? I can only see it through the website version.
I have 10.5% shopping at Walmart so I can use this to buy gift cards from there.
Thanks for the heads up about Walmart, glad I sat on my rewards and did not do too much at Safeway. I did $5 at Safeway and will never do it again. Note that Safeway e-giftacards are EXTREMELY unreliable at self-checkout. Save yourself headache and do not get Safeway if you use self-checkout. It usually just gets rejected and says cannot accept payment and then machine starts flashing and an employee comes over and is confused why it does not work.
Sweet! I can care about Capital One Shopping again and have another non-SB shopping portal option. I hope it lasts a while!
Great news. I have a lot of points and more showing up in the next month. Finally a better option than Safeway.
