Capital One Shopping review

Capital One Shopping is a shopping assistant first and a cashback app second. The extension and app automatically look for coupons and promo codes and apply them at checkout, compare prices across sellers including shipping and handling, and alert you when an item you want drops in price or turns up cheaper elsewhere. On eligible purchases it adds Shopping Rewards, which you redeem for eGift cards from select retailers. It is free and you do not need a Capital One bank or credit card account. The rewards side has limits. Capital One Shopping states that Shopping Rewards are not money and have no cash value, so there is no bank or PayPal option, though unused rewards on a valid account do not expire. Its help center warns that other rewards extensions or outside promo codes can interfere with tracking, and travel rewards pay out 60 to 90 days after the trip.
