How long does it take for Walmart purchases to track on SB? Placed order yesterday morning and still nothing.
Shows up now. I figured it would as soon as I ask here! Just wanted to have time to take action if it did not track.
I see 15% back on Capital One Shopping
Just seeing 0.5% (or 1% in app) for me, so probably targeted.
I see it too in app, it shows 1% for Walmart in both "Your personalized deals" and "offers from your favorite stores" but then keep scrolling even farther down to "more deals for you" and Walmart is listed at 15% as a limited time event.

Thanks, found it in the app like you said and also if you go to "Holiday Weekend Sales" on the web version you can find it too. Annoying that they have multiple different cash back rates all spread out in different places. The other thing that sucks with Capital One is their redemption options are much more limited.
I wish the categories were a bit clearer. Does "Health and Medicine" fall under "Pharmacy"? Has anybody received cash back on purchases for things like vitamins, protein powders (which are under "Health and Medicine"?
Does 10 SB actually amount to 10%? Is that to say a $5 giftcard cost 500 SB?
Yes. The only exception I know to that is the $1 Amazon giftcard for 110 SB (but $3 and up are 100 SB/$). And you can redeem a $25 non-Paypal giftcard for 2200 SB once a month, although I do the $25 Virtual Prepaid MC for 2175 instead.
Yes, that extra 25 SB off of MC is very enticing.
Do you know why? Or are you just trying to be clever?
Not trying to be clever, unless saving extra 25SB is being clever, then yes trying to be clever.
I know MC is 13% off opposed to 12% for everything. I do get that every month too. I'm just agreeing with you.
Yes. You also get a slight discount (12% I believe) on one $25 gift card per calendar month.
Thanks for the heads up, does anybody know if this includes third-party sellers (with fulfillment by Walmart)?
Just got 10 SB per dollar for blinds bought from a 3rd party seller.
Curious about this as well - do portals for Walmart payout on third party sellers?
I've bought 3rd party Walmart through Rakuten and it paid out (although it ended up categorized differently than I expected)
Not sure about SB but I made a WM purchase about a week ago with a 3rd party seller on another CB site (RebatesMe) and just got confirmed transaction a day ago. Maybe SB records transactions similarly?
My purchase of a webcam by a third-party seller triggered 10% last time (Nov 2023) at Swagbucks.
Thanks everybody for the feedback, that is good to know. Sometimes price is the same on Amazon and Walmart by third-party sellers and since Amazon does not do cash back then might be able to do better with Walmart.
