Did you know Capital One has a shopping site that helps you get discounts on just about anything you buy? Many of you already have it. It was an outgrowth of a Tech incubator they created years ago. Capital One is ahead with technology.
You can access information about it here and here.
It is installed on your browser. It has a browser extension. The two articles will walk you through it and there, you can access the link to download and install it.
They used to offer a referral bonus, but no longer.
Some of the many retail stores: Macy’s, Bloomingdales, J Crew, Brooks Brothers, Alo, Staples, Todd Snyder, Buck Mason, Gap, Land’s End, Banana Republic, Banana Republic Factory, Charles Tyrwhitt, Lululemon, Old Navy, Brooks Running, Hoka, The Container Store, Wayfair, Casper, Lowe’s.
Once installed, the extension on your browser will automatically highlight what the store is giving. It might be 2% to 3%, sometimes more. They also run discount codes and generally find discounts you were not aware of. So many times, I was not aware something was marked down or on sale. Capital One Shopping does this for you. The savings are substantial. It adds up. It is free money. You can redeem your credits for gift cards.
You can receive emails. They will go through shopping bags and offer you even a bigger discount. 12%, 15, 18%, 22.5% are not out of the realm of possibilities. There is a portal on the site, that shows yu what you purchased and the discount you receive. It generally takes about a month to credit. If you wish not to receive e-mails, you can go onto the main page, and it will have listed practically everything in your shopping bags with the bigger discounts.
You can also call it this a “hack.”
2% vs 12% for the same item? I’ll take the 12% anytime.
Found money.
