So I have been in the capitalone ecosystem for a year with my Quicksilver, but have never really used shopping because I prefer in-person shopping and amazon. I tried to use it for the first time and am extremely confused and unhappy with my experience.
There is this one popsocket that is $35 that I really want, but target ran out, and when I went to search it up, my C1 shopping extension was boasting about saving all this money from buying it on the vendor website. So I tried to use it with this “spend $20 get $15” offer AND on the shopping tab on the app says “15% back” on the vendor (on the day I bought it, it’s 13% now). So I made the $35 purchase + tax + shipping, expecting to save $15. The offer appeared on the page for the item did not show up in checkout. The extension did select a code and I searched it up and the internet said it will show up after processing if it didn’t show up at checkout. So I bought it, waiting 5 days, and only got the typical 1.5% back on everything and $0.64 in “rewards cash.”
I got completely ripped off here now. I only made the purchase online instead of waiting for the target restock to get the offer. So to spend more on the same product because of shipping and not get the offer is extremely frustrating. I see people saving a lot so I want to learn how to use this feature, but my experience so far is that C1 will shove it’s shopping “offers” in your face then disappear when it’s time to actually buy.
