“Amazing cash back”

Brittany R.
9/19/24

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!

“Loyalty card does not link!”

Denise C.
9/15/24

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.

I have been using ibotta for over a year everything was great. I emailed the about a rebate I did not get credit for which was linked to my food lion MVP card. The following week I got a email that my account was deactivated because of fraud. How do I fraud when my MVP card is linked to it. So the money that I had accumulated is gone. They get to keep it, and customer service is horrible. I found receipt hog is the best app out there

I loved this app until one day they deactivated my account. Their reason was because they couldn't read my receipt, mind you I had $40+ in my account I was waiting to transfer to my own account. I emailed them and they "reactivated" my account only to find out they completely banned me. The customer service is TERRIBLE and god forbid they listen to you and try to solve the problem (which was not on my end). I regret speaking highly of this app and recommending it to my friends and family.

They have cheated me out of numorous regular rebates and "earn more" rebates. Customer service is aweful. They take 3 to 5 days to respond if they respond at all. I had 5 bucks disappear mysteriously from my acct. They are just like the GetUpside app. Total scam.

I have just returned from Market Basket, Waltham MA. I bought bacon, saltines, and three packages of WASA crackers which showed up BEFORE i LEFT HOME as going to get refunds. But they did not give me credit for any of those purchases or the. 25 for receipt!

This is not the first time it has happened... poor business practice!

I downloaded the app and I went out and spent $120.00 at Winco foods and could not scan any of the barcodes on any of their any brand any item earning opportunities. The bananas did not scan, milk, or eggs. Once pressing the plus sign the check marks turned green and still would not scan. Uninstalled immediately and for all the hype surrounding this app from a working professional and household consumer I was highly disappointed. Needs work. Looking for alternatives.

They are fraud cheating to people. Without any notice they close your account and when you big amount money they give you any reason. They keep you money. We just wasting the money and time. Be careful from these kind compeny. Totly fraud fraud.

This is a scam, I had the account because I thought it worth it but it definitely doesn't and there is NO costumer service, I couldn't redeem my rewards and they keep charging for non sense maintenance fee even after I email that I wanna deactivate my account which I couldn't, you can't remove you credit card from the app. Horrible experience specially that there is no one to answer you! There is no contact number
Avoid this app!

Tip for consumers:
Don't use

I bought Fage ( which must mean crap in another language) yogurt just to get the rebate and earn the bonus. Well they couldn't see the yogurt on my receipt. Bull crap! Yogurt was the very first item on my receipt.

Shopped at several retailers thru site such as Walmart, chewy.com and Amazon and received nothing when I qualified, no option to submit receipts to certain retailers such as the ones I listed above even if u shop Thru IBOTTA app because it's suppose to credit your acct by shopping thru them but it's useless. I don't even bother anymore. If I'm able to snap the receipt and submit thts the way I go.

Tip for consumers:
Use at your own risk.

Most of the time you have to scan what you bought because Ibotta doesn't do a good job at reading a receipt.

Then the money is pending... then you get a message telling you they can't read the receipt. If you have to resend the receipt then you have to rescan everything and hope you didn't eat it.
