Capital One Faces Lawsuit Over Allegations of Stealing Sales Commissions from Social Media Creators

In a recent legal development, Capital One is being taken to court by social media creators who claim that the bank’s free browser extension wrongfully took their sales commissions. The creators allege that Capital One’s browser extension, known as Capital One Shopping, diverted their commissions by overriding tracking codes, such as cookies, that showed consumers had interacted with their content.

U.S. District Judge Anthony Trenga in Alexandria, Virginia, ruled in favor of the creators, stating that they have a plausible case against Capital One. The lawsuit revolves around affiliate marketing, where creators promote content through links provided by online merchants and third-party marketers on their platforms and social media channels. The creators argue that Capital One Shopping made it appear as though consumers made purchases from merchants’ sites after clicking referral links from the bank, thus allowing Capital One to collect millions of dollars in commissions that rightfully belonged to the creators.

Judge Trenga permitted the creators to pursue claims against Capital One for unjust enrichment, interference with contracts, and violation of the federal Computer Fraud and Abuse Act. However, he dismissed a conversion claim and four state law claims. In response to the allegations, Capital One stated that Capital One Shopping does not unlawfully take credit for commissions and disagreed with the claims made in the lawsuit.

The creators’ lawyer, Norman Siegel, expressed their determination to continue prosecuting the case. This lawsuit is not an isolated incident, as similar litigation is pending against Microsoft and PayPal over their respective browser extensions, Microsoft Shopping and PayPal Honey.

Capital One, the sixth-largest commercial bank in the U.S. by assets, acquired the Capital One Shopping browser extension when it purchased online shopping startup Wikibuy in 2018. The case, known as In re Capital One Financial Corp, Affiliate Marketing Litigation, is currently ongoing in the U.S. District Court, Eastern District of Virginia.

This legal battle highlights the complexities of affiliate marketing and the importance of protecting creators’ rights in the digital landscape. It serves as a reminder that businesses must adhere to ethical practices and respect the contributions of content creators in the online marketplace. As the case unfolds, it will be interesting to see how the courts address the allegations and what implications it may have for the future of affiliate marketing practices.
