Update 9/10/26: A reader did the Plus monthly subscription and got the full $600 cashback from Capital One Shopping. This technique keeps you under the $150 reimbursed by AmEx, but still can get you the full $600/$580/$380 for the Plus plan on Squarespace. This way might also be better since you don’t need to use the promo code which can be safer for portal tracking.
The Offer
Capital One Shopping offers $20 back when signing up for Squarespace. You’ll do better with the TCB $50 offering. However, if you poke around, you should be able to get an elevated email offer from Capital One Shopping:
- Get $300 to sign up for Squarespace. Others got a lower amount of $190 or $290.
- You can get double that ($600/$580/$380) for the more expensive Squarespace plans.
- Use code W8F50 on Squarespace to get 50% off any plan.
- AmEx Business Gold offers $150 statement credit for Squarespace purchases each calendar year. Activation is required in the AmEx login (direct enrollment link).
- Some people also have an AmEx Offer for $30 back after $150 spend or $10 back after $50 spend.
Our Verdict
The basic Squarespace plan is $228 which turns into $114 after the 50% discount. You’ll get that all back from the AmEx Business Gold (if activated), and then you’ll pocket the $190-$300 from the portal.
Some people might opt to do the Plus plan which is $298 after the promo code. In this scenario you’re paying $148 out of pocket (after getting $150 back from AmEx) with the hopes of getting more from the portal. Even if you have the $600 offer, a lot of people will just opt to do the $300 moneymaker with zero risk instead of the $600 moneymaker with $148 of risk. If you have the $190/$380 offer version, it makes little sense to pay $148 with the hopes of getting an extra $190.
Regardless, this looks like an easy win with no risk. I got myself targeted today for the $190 offer by poking around yesterday. I’m going to wait another day to see if I get the better $300 offer, otherwise I’ll just be happy with the $190 version.
As always, keep in mind that Capital One Shopping portal does not require having a Capital One card or bank account. Also remember that the rewards are not cash but rather they cash out as gift cards for various brands.
If you’re new to Capital One Shopping, signup via referral link to get $80. Here is our referral sharing thread and here is my own referral link (thanks!).
