Update 12/31/22: Increased meal kit offers are showing again now on Capital One Offers – that’s the one in the credit card login – and possibly for some this is showing in other of Capital One portal platforms like the Shopping app (see this post for more info on the Capital One portals). Rates showing now: $70 back on Green Chef, $52 back on Hello Fresh, $28 back on Home Chef. Possibly for first-time subscribers only. (ht AbjectRaise)

We reviewed the Capital One Shopping portal earlier this year. A number of readers reached out about increased cashback rates found in the Capital One shopping mobile app. The rates from the app seem to be especially increased for meal delivery apps. Sample deals available to some right now:
- Freshly $30
- Hello Fresh $75
- Blue Apron $60
- Green chef $67.5
- Factor $54
- Hungryroot $50
Note, these amounts apparently vary by person. Personally I do see the rates much higher in the app versus the online portal, but not as high as the above-mentioned rates. YMMV.
For those keeping score, I believe there are now four separate things that can be intended when someone refers to a deal from Capital One:
- Capital One Offers which are offers found on Capital One cards within your bank/card login, similar to Chase Offers and Bank Amerideals; these earn actual cashback (versus the Capital One portal which needs to be redeemed as a gift card); there is a max $1,000 cashback per 3 billing cycles; you don’t need to use a Capital One credit card, but you need to have a Capital One card or account login to get access to these offers
- Capital One Spring which are special offers for businesses which anyone can sign up for (direct link)
- Capital One Shopping online portal which is a traditional shopping portal, similar to Rakuten and Topcashback (direct link)
- Capital One Shopping app which is the app version of the online portal and shares the same account and password with the portal, but sometimes has elevated offers
