I have a love/hate relationship with the Capital 1 shopping portal. They will wipe out your account if you earn too much or redeem too much. Anyway, back in February, if you clicked through the ATT Fiber link, it would bring you to the ATT Wireless page. From there, if you ordered a $5 case, the portal thinks you made a purchase at ATT Fiber and gave you $75 cashback. They did eventually claw back those rewards and put you in the negative, but if you fired up a new account… Anyway, they finally fixed it on April 1st.
Naturally, we tried other portals like TCB but they were smart enough to not pay out. We also tried other telecoms like Xfinity on Cap1 and that didn’t pay out, so it was just the Earth and moon aligning.
Also, those bastards wiped out another one of my new accounts that had $1000 of cashback accrued. I had redeemed $75 in 3 consecutive days. I got the first 2 GC’s and I guess by the third day, they looked into the account and wiped it out. So you win some and you lose some with them.
What a dead account looks like:
Are you using the same address when cashing out or an address that doesn’t match your CC’s address? Or is there a better way?
No, I’m not using the same address
Are you registering a VGC or how do you get around it? Do they only check the zip and not the number portion of the address?
They’ve stopped asking for a cc for new accounts.
I just had to provide one last week, along with phone number before cashing out.
That portal is so unpredictable. Recent example: I keep getting emails for $30 off at Costco — I am pretty sure they’re meant for membership signups, but they don’t say that, and the emails just show items that I was recently browsing. Sadly, though, nothing has tracked when I have used the links.
Yeah, I get that a lot too. I’ll get console emails from WMT and those don’t pay out. That’s what makes weird shit like this happen with this portal.
