How are payouts calculated?
How your offer is calculated depends on whether you receive your payout online or in-store.
Online purchases
Payouts for online purchases are calculated based on the stated offer and eligible purchase amount. This doesn’t include taxes, shipping, credits, additional fees and the costs of third-party items, such as gift-wrapping, packaging, insurance or warranties.
Here’s an example: Say you see an offer to earn up to 4% at Macy’s. After reaching the site through the Capital One Offers tile, you find a new jacket for $60. After adding sales tax and shipping fees, your total comes to $68, and you complete the purchase. The payout would only apply to the $60, not the additional costs.
In-store purchases
In-store payouts are calculated according to the offer’s specifications and are based on the total eligible purchase amount. This may include taxes, shipping, credits and other fees. There may also be a maximum amount that can be earned for an offer. Check the individual offer details for more information.
Is my information shared with merchants?
For online purchases made through Capital One Offers, your personal information isn’t shared with merchants.
For in-store purchases, it might be necessary to share certain information. This may include the last four digits of your credit card number, the location of the transaction, the transaction amount and the fact that you activated an offer before making the purchase.
