What are the advantages and disadvantages of using credit cards for online shopping?
There are pros and cons to shopping online with a credit card—just as there are trade-offs when you do your shopping in person.
You may not be able to test or sample items before you buy online. And the gratification of immediately ripping open a new package may be lost. But one thing you don’t have to sacrifice is security.
Capital One helps you protect yourself online with security features like fraud alerts, Card Lock, instant purchase notifications, virtual card numbers and more.
Depending on the card you use online, you could also set yourself up for additional perks on things like travel, groceries, dining and more.
And there are also flexible rewards redemption options. You can use Capital One miles or cash back to shop millions of items at Amazon.com. Or you can redeem for gift cards to make online purchases at all kinds of restaurants, retailers and more. Eligible cardholders can even redeem rewards for more than 500,000 events—including VIP packages and on-site perks—thanks to Capital One Entertainment.1

2You will earn 4% cash back on dining, qualified entertainment purchases and streaming, 3% cash back on purchases made at grocery stores and 1% cash back on all other purchases. Entertainment purchases made through a third party site or by a vendor that does not categorize themselves under one of the qualifying entertainment merchandise category codes will earn 1% cash back. Grocery purchases made at gas stations, convenience stores, warehouse clubs, discount stores, and super stores (or at grocery stores associated with discount stores or super stores) will earn 1% cash back. Earnings will apply to net purchases (purchases minus any credits or returns) only. Cash advances, balance transfers, and checks used to access your account are not considered purchases and will not earn rewards. Capital One uses merchant category codes to determine if a purchase is within one of the additional cash back categories. This means that sometimes a purchase may not earn additional cash back. For example, some food trucks or food carts may use a “merchandise” code and restaurants in department stores or hotels may use a “merchandise” or “hotel” code instead of a “dining” code. Additionally some amusement parks may code their online tickets as “merchandise” instead of “entertainment.” Capital One is not responsible for merchant category codes used by merchants.
