We don’t need to throw statistics at you to prove that the number of people who shop online in the past year has risen exponentially. Partly because we have to (that pandemic has forced our hand) and partly because we want to (it is, after all, so darn convenient!), we’ve taken to ecommerce like bees to honey. Unfortunately, we may not always get the sweetest deals. That’s where Capital One Shopping comes into play.
We suspect that you, more than once, have scoured the internet for discounts and coupons for that item you so desire. You’ve entered in promotion codes that often don’t work. You’ve spent endless hours searching for the best deal. You’ve had buyer’s remorse when the next day you discover that very same item is on sale at another retailer. If only there was a way to combat all these problems. Now there is. Don’t overpay online again. With three simple steps, you can start saving money and shop with confidence.
First, add the Capital One Shopping extension to your browser (it works with all the major ones). Then start filling your cart. Whether you’re on popular sites such as Amazon, Target, or Best Buy, and you’re picking up groceries for the week, bringing your wardrobe into the 21st century, upgrading your appliances to those smart ones, turning your home into your castle, or anything in between, Capital One Shopping will scour the internet in the background, looking for any discount or promotion code that could be applied to your purchase. When you’re ready to checkout, with one simple click on the extension, the savings will be applied.
And if you’re worried that you’re not getting the best price out there, Capital One Shopping has you covered there as well. If the item you are purchasing on Amazon or Target is on sale at a lower cost elsewhere, you will be alerted via a pop-up if a better offer, including tax and shipping details, is found.
But wait, there’s more! If Capital One Shopping is unable to locate a lower price on the internet, it’ll reassure you that you’re getting the better deal. If you prefer to wait and see if the price of that item comes down you can add it to a Watchlist and you will be notified when it goes on sale, so that you don’t miss out on any savings.
And if that’s not enough, you can also rack up Capital One Shopping Rewards that are redeemable for gift cards towards your future purchases from their partnered stores, like Lowe’s, Macy’s, Nordstrom, and more. It literally pays to shop.
Best of all, anyone can use Capital One Shopping. Simply sign up for an account and give it a whirl. The desktop browser extension is totally free. Then once you’re set up you can start thinking of what you’re going to do with all that time you saved and all that money you’re socking away.
