Capital One offers elevated shopping rewards and referral bonuses

Capital One is currently offering elevated rewards through its shopping portal. For Giftcards.com, users can receive up to 12.5% back via Capital One Shopping or up to 10 miles per dollar spent through Capital One Offers. These rates vary depending on the specific type of gift card purchased; for example, Visa gift cards earn rewards, while Mastercard and Gift of College do not.

Additionally, Capital One Shopping has introduced a significant referral promotion. New users can earn an $80 bonus by creating an account, verifying their email, and installing the browser extension. Unlike previous promotions, no purchase is required, though the extension must remain active for 90 days. The referral cap has also been expanded for some users, allowing for potential earnings of up to $1,900 through referrals.
