I truly have a love/hate relationship with this portal. Right now, I HATE their redemption options. The only bright side is that some good ones do come back for a brief stint before they go dark again. It’s almost like they have a limited # of high value redemptions before they make you redeem for Omaha Steaks. Anyway, I also LOVE their current offers and if this wasn’t backed by a big bank, I’d say it’s giving a certain ‘working on it’ GC app vibes aka “Let’s sell Walmart GCs for 20% off.”
These C1 accounts are rarely used and 9 months old. Anyway, here’s some of the offers I’ve seen. How do you get these offers? Well create a new account and let it marinate like a leg of iberico jamon.
Great if you are in the market for a $200 Dyson, which doesn’t exist.
Buy back your own tickets?
One of the highest offers I’ve seen for Walmart:
No wonder their stock sucks but they do make great men’s underwear
One of the most ridiculous travel offers. At this point, why even accumulate points?
they will claws back the higher offers and mark them as ineligible. cs won’t help you at all. my balance now negative more than 500.
I have not witnessed the clawback but I also haven’t gone super hard on the bigger offers. Which vendor did you they claw back?
If i want to start marinating more than one account, can i refer myself with new email, phone, etc?
Now why would you want to link your accounts?
Stubhub offer could be a nice way to burn the CSR Stubhub coupon
Hmm I’m a daily user of the C1 Shopping Portal and I don’t know if I’ve ever seen this format of offer. It’s always either a % off (usually up to $250) or a flat purchase offer like $50 back when you sign up somewhere. I’ve never seen this “Spend X, get Y” format which looks more like Amex Offers formatting. I’ll have to keep an eye on things, maybe you’re getting the beta version and it’ll roll out
Maybe you need to be daily user[s]
Who’s behind these offers? Cap1? or each individual store wanting to pull in customers?
The stores usually pay the portals. That’s why you don’t see Amazon paying out to portals although oddly they pay out to affiliate links. But there’s no way Walmart is paying $50 off $50, so that’s Capital One trying to entice you to use their portal more aka a loss leader like how Costco sells cheap hot dogs and rotisserie but make up for it when you buy other shit.
