The general consensus is that while Capital One Shopping is a legitimate service and not operating as a scam extension, price savings may not be worth the cost of your personal data. Its value might also depend on the type of products that you're shopping for.
CapitalOne Shopping (formerly Wikibuy) offers multiple easy ways to save money, including online coupons, reward credits that can be exchanged for free gift cards, price comparison tool, and price drop tracking. When you add the browser extension, you'll get automatic notifications for deals on sites you visit.
But, while it's safe and secure and I use it personally, some users have privacy concerns about the online tracking. Capital One Shopping, formerly called Wikibuy, is a popular browser extension and mobile app that helps you get better deals when shopping online.
Although the apps are similar, Honey works best on Amazon by searching all Amazon sellers for the best deals on individual products. Capital One Shopping, however, is better for online shoppers who buy from many retailers, since it can find deals for an item nearly anywhere online.
If you use your Capital One Venture card to buy from a merchant advertising 10% cashback, you'll get 10X Membership Rewards from Rakuten and 2X Capital One Rewards from your card.
Mobile app
Both CapitalOne Shopping and Honey have apps you can use to shop, and those apps offer the same features as the browser extension.
Capital One Shopping is a tool to help you find savings for your desired product. It doesn't offer a big return like other shopping portals (though it's not uncommon to receive 3% back in the form of Capital One Shopping credits). However, you can use Capital One Shopping to find the store with a competitive price.
There are a couple of ways to get started using Capital One Shopping: You can add the extension to your preferred browser or mobile app to create an account. Tip: Note that you don't need to be a Capital One cardholder to use Capital One Shopping.
Honey's revenue comes from a commission made on user transactions with partnering retailers. When a member makes a purchase from select merchants, Honey shares part of their commission with the member in a cashback program.
