“Love it.”

Bonnie K.
11/15/24

I had a problem (turns out I was wrong), but they promptly replied, explained the situation, and even gave me some credit. I have used it for years. It is nice being able to get real cash for things that you are already buying.

“Non-existent customer support”

Joe R.
11/23/24

I don't think anyone in their customer "support" department actually reads the questions you send them, and, if they do read them, they do their best to frustrate you with irrelevant non-answers. All they are capable of is firing off some standard answers from their answer sheet that matches a word or two from your inquiry

It is hardly worth my time to even use Ibotta.
The rewards of.10 and. 25 do add up but it seems that there are fewer offers on everyday products. I have tried a few new products, however with the cost of groceries it's not feasible to be trying new things.

Reason I chose this business:

It was great when I first started several years ago.

In less than a year of using Ibotta I have earned over $500 dollars.
It's easy to cash out your earnings, set up your shopping trips either in store or online.
I don't know why anyone would not use this program.
Great care and response from customer service.
It's $$$ in your pocket for buying brands and products you use.
Try it!

Who doesn't love a little extra Christmas spending cash? That's where I put my Ibotta savings!

I get money back on all the things I normally shop for, even on some gift cards! Earning money really adds up fast when you hit the grocery store and Target.

Reason I chose this business:

I chose Iibotta when I seen my daughter had easily earned $50 off a couple of purchases while she was away at college. I did a little homework and decided I wanted in on this greatness. I haven't looked back.

Been using this app for a couple of years now and have saved hundreds of dollars. I shop online through the web browser at stores like Old Navy and, also in my local grocery store. I have had some issues with deals not going through but their customer service is very excellent and responsive in getting issues resolved quickly!

I had a receipt submission that went through and later came back with receipt not found so $0 on a valid transaction. Contacted Ibotta customer service and Anna took great care of the situation and kept my faith in the company. Thank you very much!

Enjoyed using for several months but the experience is diminishing as there are many problems getting offers and bonuses. Entire trips not appearing in system or no offers logged!
Maybe I'll choose WM CB for awhile.

Laborious.

Reason I chose this business:

I expected a good experience saving money.

My Winn Dixie card doesn't link with Ibotta! I've tried all suggestions such as removing the card and then adding it back to no avail. I usually have to take a receipt picture which is almost impossible to capture correctly. Very frustrating since I purposefully buy certain items for the points.

My texts for help referred me to articles that didn’t help me.

Reason I chose this business:

I belong to couponing group that suggested Ibotta. I like fetch better! Much easier to take a receipt picture.

Oh no! It sounds like you're experiencing a technical issue! If the newer Ibotta app versions have not resolved this, please contact our Ibotta Care chatbot at help.ibotta.com (http://help.ibotta.com/). If she cannot answer your question, let her know. She can create a Care ticket for you and forward it to the appropriate team. Thanks for leaving a review!

I love how easy the app is to use and sometimes it will even notice missed purchases and remind me to add them. Recently I had an issue that was a user issue and Ibotta customer service was phenomenal. Highly recommend using this app to save money on your groceries and other expenses, but also to support a great company with good integrity.

Not easy to contact with a problem regarding incorrect rebate, and Ibotta didn't really review an item that is a legitimate purchase but claims to have reviewed the product in question. A box of store brand tampons was deemed ineligible for Any Brand Feminine Care Product. How is that accurate?

Ibotta claims to have reviewed an item, but it was just an automated response because it was immediate and inaccurate.

Was missing an offer that I was sure scanned in the store. Noticed a few days later. Offer was gone. Ibotta did some research & figured out how to credit me. All the way, kind and friendly. Kept me up to date throughout. Wonderful people.

5 cans of Pedigree Canned dog food which were missed despite my scanning in the store with a green light. Unfortunately, this happens mor often than not and Ibotta makes it extremely difficult to challenge. I guess people just need to return products. If I could give 0 stars, I would.

Ibotta is a great way to save on groceries, especially during these stressful times. Your savings add up quickly and if you are able to keep your savings throughout the year, you might like to cash out at holiday time! Plus, their team is always easy to contact and helpful if you run into an issue; and they are very timely with their replies, too.

The cash back you receive on items you're going to buy, need and use on an every day basis. It's so easy to learn to use and becomes a hobby-game that you play with yourself. When you finally see your earnings add up it's exciting! You can save on presents for family members or save up to get the gift cards so holiday gifts are available for everyone! Save up all year and you have it to give. Amazing! Love my Ibotta

Some confusion with linking my account with Walmart cash back. Because I am a Walmart member, it was confusing but the customer service professional helped me make the right decision and I got my money back.

Reason I chose this business:

It was introduced to me by a friend and it’s been so much fun since

I've noticed us do much more smoother now then a year or two ago. Rare occasion I do have an issue, it's resolved quickly. I can't recall the last time I had a problem with the app. I like the upgrades a lot, especially if I miss checking an offer I get an email to add it. Very happy with everything, please don't change anything.

As with any of these rebate apps, there will be problems from time to time with computers that do not properly read a receipt. Or, more often, your local grocery store does not abbreviate things properly on the receipt.
I've had only a few occasions over the past almost 2 years to contact customer service at Ibotta about a rebate issue.
It has been resolved to my satisfaction each and every single time.

A Shoprite receipt for 3 separate items was submitted and when initially processed, the incorrect earnings was given me; I left it, assuming it would be retracted. Instead ibotta gave me the correct amount and left the first earnings on my account. Pleased, but surprised at that outcome. Thank you.

I have been using the Ibotta app for a little over a year now and over the last two months the site is allowing me to shop but not redeem any of the cash back offers other than the 2% cash back from Walmart. I have had to submit every receipt through the help center and then list every offer I had activated for that trip. And I'm still not getting all of the bonuses either. I don't know what's happened but it's very disappointing and I urge you to fix this issue.

I have had to submit receipts and list everything that I activated for cash back and still haven’t received all of the bonuses that should’ve accumulated from my purchases.

I have been with Ibotta for years and recently I had a minor issue with receiving my cash back, but when I contact the customer service they did a internal review, an escalated my review and solve the problem very quickly. And I received my cash back shortly thereafter. I really appreciate it the great customer service and feedback that I got from the representative. She listened to my issue and was very understanding and compassionate. Thank you so much Ibotta! Your savings are great and the bonuses and are awesome... I will continue to use Ibotta. It's exactly what my family need these days where every little bit of savings helps a lot.
Thanks again Ibotta for being awesome!

It took me many times of explaining what had not gone through on a Walmart online order that completed a bonus. With back and forth communication it was fixed. This made me happy and I will continue to use Ibotta and recommend it to others.

Yes, I have saved quite a bit of money, so thank you! You lost 1 star because occasionally there is a quirk or cancelation and it's hard to check if you got your money because the email only says how much was saved and probably from where, but does not tell the item. I often buy several things from HSN or somewhere at a time if sales are going on and would like to keep track of savings. The item also needs to be listed when a cancelation happens to be sure it's right!

Very hard to find the form needed to fill out for customer service.

Reason I chose this business:

Thought I'd give it a try.
