How Capital One makes shopping easier

Credit cards—they can make shopping convenient, fast and secure. And depending on the card you use, there might be even more it can do for you. 

Capital One credit cards come with lots of features and benefits built in. So whether you’re shopping online to buy a few groceries or a new TV, these features can help you save time and get more for your money. Read on for a closer look at some of the ways your card can make shopping easier.

Who doesn’t love the satisfaction of getting the best bang for their buck? Comparing offers across several retailers might help you find the same product at a lower price. But the process can take time, and it still won’t necessarily snag you the best deal. 

When you shop online, Capital One Shopping automatically searches thousands of sites to help you find great deals on what you want. Plus, it instantly applies available coupon codes at checkout. That means you could get a discount on top of a bargain.

Not ready to hit “Add to Cart” yet? Capital One Shopping has a watchlist feature that helps you keep an eye on your favorite items. When they go on sale, you get notified.

Capital One Shopping is also easy to use—you can shop through the site or add the free browser extension.

Depending on which Capital One card you have, you could redeem your rewards in several ways. For example, you could get cash back, redeem miles for a recent travel purchase or use rewards to cover everyday expenses. And some options can help you pay or lower your total at the actual point of sale. Here are a few:

When you shop at Amazon.com, you can use your rewards to pay for part or all of your order. All you need to do is link your eligible Capital One card to your Amazon.com account. Then, paying with rewards will be an option every time you check out.

You can redeem your rewards on eligible purchases at millions of online stores when you check out with PayPal. Simply add your Capital One card to the digital wallet. Then, you can choose to pay fully or partly with your rewards. 

Redeeming your rewards for a gift card could be an easy way to please people who are tough to shop for. Or you could always just find something for yourself. 

Gift cards are available for dozens of your favorite retailers, restaurants, hotel chains and more. And redeeming your Capital One rewards for gift cards is easy. Just sign in to your account online or use the Capital One Mobile app. You can redeem all of your rewards at once or use only some of them—it’s up to you.

Imagine how fast your online checkout could be if you didn’t even have to reach for your wallet. That’s one of the many advantages of Eno, your Capital One assistant. The free Eno browser extension can provide you with a unique, merchant-specific virtual card number. This disguises your actual card number to help make online shopping more secure. And you don’t even have to leave the comfort of your sofa.

Like the best assistants, Eno’s a multitasker. Eno can also monitor your credit card account, track spending and give you answers on the spot about your bills and finances. Eno can even send you notifications if it detects unusual activity on your account.

A lot of credit cards offer rewards. But if you choose the right credit card, you might pick up more than just points. Capital One credit cards work hard, helping you save time and money to spend on the things that really matter to you.
