Incidents

Alleged fraudulent discounts

Users have claimed Capital One Shopping advertises fraudulent discounts that don't actually exist. Capitaloneshopping.com holds a rating of 1.1 stars on TrustPilot as of July 19, 2026, with many reviewers claiming "fraudulent prices", calling the browser extension a "hoax", and stating how they feel "frustrated" and cheated.[1]

Creators' lawsuit (2025)

Online creators filed a class action lawsuit against Capital One, alleging that the company used cookies to override the commissions that content creators would've earned through affiliate marketing[2][3]. In their lawsuit, they claimed unjust enrichment by Capital One as well as intentional interference with contractual relations and conversion, among other claims.[4] Capital One attempted to dismiss the case in June, then finally settled in September while admitting to no wrongdoing.[3]

Addition of forced arbitration to TOS (2026)

On July 16, 2026 Capital One Shopping posted an updated Terms of Service Agreement which added a forced arbitration agreement. Those who agreed to the prior agreement have until August 20, 2026 with the old TOS. An option to reject the forced arbitration agreement was provided.

According to Capital One Shopping TOS as of July 18, 2026:

You may reject the arbitration agreement but only if we receive notice of rejection from you within 30 days of the effective date of this arbitration agreement or within 30 days of the effective date of a modification to this arbitration agreement, whichever is later.[5]
