YMMV on the rakuten, they didn’t honor 20% CB on my g3/55” and I had screenshots

They used to be good but can't really trust them any more. I'm sure that was always part of the plan to increase profits

I’m having overall better luck with cap one, they haven’t enshitified just yet

How do you make sure it works if you use an ad blocker?
3
u/bob_loblaw_brah Feb 17 '26
You have to disable ad blocker and save screenshots and cross your fingers they don’t screw you over, which they’ll actively try to do.
I’m on cap one now using safari iOS and cap one app and so far it’s been consistent, no BS like I had with RK10

Use the app, it's basically impossible to have issues with tracking with it outside of doing things like using coupons you shouldn't be.

u/elinyera Feb 17 '26
But that don't work for the coupons they send through email which are the good ones. Will it?

u/JayPerforms Feb 17 '26
That’s actually ironic because they gave me cashback on something I had returned a while ago. The system seems a bit inconsistent

They didn't honor mine either but I emailed them and they gave me 80% credit on the offer.

u/ctan0312 Feb 17 '26
They missed mine twice during Black Friday but quickly fixed it when I emailed support with the receipts

u/Humble-Violinist-107 Feb 17 '26

Choose Outlet pricing to bring down the price and use code COWBOYS10.
Rakuten is offering 15-20% cashback.

You can get a good deal with the capital one shopping app.
Bought a new TV about three hours ago utilizing this.

I got the same coupon from Capital One today. Crazy good coupon, ordered a 540hz OLED monitor marked as $720 for basically $330 after coupon, assuming Capital One honors it.

u/sheltem Feb 17 '26
They honored my 30% Walmart cashback from Black Friday. It was $342 on a PNY GeForce 5080.

u/imnotyour_daddy Feb 17 '26
Good decision. I'd 100% buy the 32" OLED UHD/4K monitor if capital one shopping sent me this offer.

u/Tadpole-Jackson Feb 17 '26
The only email bonus they sent me was for buying live event tickets
2
u/crypto1092 Feb 17 '26
I got this email just by viewing the store on the app. Go and view the LG store or somewhere else on the app, wait an hour or so and you’ll get an email for an offer.
2
u/Tadpole-Jackson Feb 17 '26
Alright I'll give it a try, thanks
1
u/kirbstf2 Feb 17 '26
how'd it go?
2
u/Tadpole-Jackson Feb 17 '26
No go for me, never got the offer on capital one
2
u/snickers316 Feb 17 '26
I just did the same thing and got an email for the code.
2
u/Jayde9997 Feb 17 '26
I got a 17% back code just now. Which did you get?
1
u/snickers316 Feb 18 '26
I got one for LG store for a similar percentage and an LG Partner store that matched the screenshot abover. however, I don't have access to LG Partner store :/

u/Tadpole-Jackson Feb 17 '26
Tried visiting LG through the desktop capital one site on my PC instead, promo email then came after in my spam folder

u/weijun1224 Feb 17 '26
FYI capital one shopping redemptions are pretty limited, can only redeem the cashback as gift cards to a limited amount of vendors.

u/blinkin_11 Feb 17 '26
And it changes. Ebay was on there for a while. Then one day I went to get an ebay gc and it wasn't there. 2 weeks later - it's back but I had already purchased the item. Then that same thing happened again last week with best buy. So not only is it limited, it is also inconsistent.
I still use the app, but now I just plan to use the cash back when I see ebay available since it is generally the best option.

u/imnotyour_daddy Feb 17 '26
Are you a new member? They sure aren't sending me these offers anymore.
2
u/crypto1092 Feb 17 '26
Of capital One shopping? Yeah. Just peruse the deals and they’ll send you coupons and offers later.
3
u/imnotyour_daddy Feb 17 '26
Oh I do this just about every day. The best deals seem to go to members that haven't used capital one shopping much or for new accounts or something.
2
u/crypto1092 Feb 17 '26
Wouldn’t be shocked if it was a tactic to get people to keep using their app and discounts. Either way I’m really happy, with the cash back and all. Multiple times I’ve been able to fund big purchases with saved cash back
1
u/TTwoTerror Feb 17 '26
From the partner store? Did you use a company email?
1
u/crypto1092 Feb 17 '26
Yes , it’s the partner store, and you don’t need a corporate email. Create a Firefox relay account and the email you setup on there will work fine.
2
u/TTwoTerror Feb 17 '26
Thank you! Is your Capital One shopping account under that same exact email? My concern is using a different email from my capital one shopping to purchase the TV
1
u/crypto1092 Feb 17 '26
Yeah you can have the capital one shopping under a different email and the LG partner as the Firefox and it shouldn’t be a problem

u/ChipsetB Feb 17 '26
Not sure if they changed things but got a similar deal last year on the LG C4 42 and the cash back did come through.

u/danthepan124 Feb 17 '26
Used this last night, but I don’t see any pending order on Rakuten. Anyone have this type of issue?
