Original post: Ouch! Capital One Shopping portal removed the following gift card redemption options: Walmart, Safeway, Bed Bath & Beyond, Petco. They’ve added a few new brands, such as CVS, SiriusXM, and few others.
The portal does not allow directly cashing out rewards; we need to purchase a gift card. Walmart and Safeway were probably the most commonly used cash out options. They do have many more top brand redemption options (direct link), such as Home Depot, Lowe’s, eBay, Kohl’s, Nike, etc.
Personally, I’ve always cashed out via Walmart gift cards. I’m not sure how much I’ll be using the portal going forward given that I don’t really shop at any of those other brands consistently.
If you have a Capital One credit card, it’s a good idea to check if the Capital One Offers within your bank login have the same offer since those rewards get cashed out as a statement credit. They often have similar – or even better – rates to the Capital One Shopping portal. See our post Numerous Flavors Of The Capital One Shopping Portal to better understand the different options.

With the lawsuit going on I guess Walmart won’t be coming back? 🙁
Finally able to redeem and receive for Albertson’s (Safeway) this morning!
Anthony Paganini Can you use the e-gift cards in store? This will be the first time I redeem gift cards from Cap1 shopping.
Blue Ghost Yes but you may have to go to a cashier, rather than self checkout.
Celia I see. Thank you!
For those of you (like me) for whom Giftcards.com disappeared as a merchant on the Capital One Shopping app several weeks ago, check your apps this morning — it seems to have returned.
mrmastadon Interesting. Giftcards.com *disappeared* from my C1 Shopping app today. Still visible on desktop.
The $10 sign up bonus I mentioned below was posted today. I haven’t even shopped yet.
No idea if it’s public.
.
hate that they removed the walmart redemption. Was looking at Cinemark and it had $15, $25 and $50 option. Logged in after a few hours and there are still 3 radio buttons but now they just allow $25, $25 and $50!! What a disappointing experience
I redeemed $15 for Safeway GC on 3/25. I have the screen shot for the confirmation . But I still haven’t received the e-GC as of now. Even worse, when I logged into my account now, my rewards balance still shows the amount same as that I did the redemption. Anyone else has the same issue?
Yu Safeway is no longer available (again), so they probably refunded your order.
Oh. Thanks. Just curious, am I supposed to get email confirmation once I redeem the points? Sorry, this is the first time I redeemed the points.
Yu Last time I redeemed rewards (which was over a year ago), there was no confirmation apart from the gift card email itself.
Home Depot now gone.
I got so much rewards pending this is making me wanna riot.
Safeway/Albertsons is gone again..
Not sure where else to put this. Received this email, may be targeted.
” get a $10 bonus when you respond to this email on your desktop device and sign up for Capital One Shopping.*
As a valued Capital One customer, you deserve to save when you shop online. In the last year, Capital One Shopping found customers more than $470 million in savings. And please remember, to get a $10 bonus, you’ll need to respond to this email on your desktop device and sign up for Capital One Shopping.”
Any public offer page?
Private I saw this in my gmail as an ad. I didn’t have wording to respond to the email – I just had ‘visit site’ button to get $10 SUB
Chuck, similar to Private I got an email on this week from CapOne. Subject: “Congrats, XXXX” Redeem your free $10 bonus and get exclusive discounts and rewards.”
Does CapOne actually pay out these bonuses? There’s no expiration date or terms in the fine print of the email…..seems shady?
As noted above, I now have a $10 balance in my ‘account’. I don’t see a way to use it though other than to cash it out as a Gift Card.
Can place an Albertson’s (Safeway) GC order, but refreshing the page the order auto-disappears and my balance is restored!
Edit: seems ok after clearing cookies.
Disappeared again, but a CVS GC redemption did process.
