“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!

Top Critical Review

“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.

After my initial disappointment about cash missing, I have now been compensated and thank the people getting this issue straightened out.

Sometimes good, sometimes not so good

Abrupt erasure of bonuses

Twice I have shopped on the the day two bonuses were to expire, even checking their status as I entered my supermarket. By checkout time the bonuses had disappeared.

It’s all chatbot contact and nothing gets done.

Reason I chose this business:

I like getting “paid” to shop.

My retailer (Publix) has a bug in their receipt system that doesn't allow a duplicate receipt to be printed after the next customer steps up. I secured a hard copy but Ibotta would not honor it. A multiple purchase bonus now expires that I likely won't reach (7 items shy) because of this issue

Reason I chose this business:

NBA team patch

Ibotta is really great for people who can afford to buy name brand products all the time, but for some1 like me it takes me a very long time to earn enough points to cash out. The customer service is always great though.

Cash back is slow coming. Many rules on what qualifies. Also I realize it would be a huge undertaking but why not have the cash back at all the stores people shop at pop through. Many times the bar codes don't match product being sold on the shelves

It took a long time for response and again all the little rules about purchasing.

Reason I chose this business:

It was a good thing when I started but it has gone down hill since then

Every receipt will have missing rebates. It's a pain in the butt to dispute them. I wish they could get this figured out. It has been going on for years. It's a lot of work for a few bucks.

I had an issue with a bonus not attaching, even though I got my rebate and they quickly resolved the issue and credited my bonus to me. They are very polite and courteous.

Walmart is great because it goes straight to Ibotta. I have trouble getting Kroger and CVS linked to my account, not sure why though.

Reason I chose this business:

I’ve used Ibotta for several years. Introduced by my sister in law.

I enjoy using the Ibotta app and saving money on everyday purchases. It was a nice surprise when I was notified that I was missing cashback on a recent trip to the store, it saved me $2, actually my husband had made the purchase!

Reason I chose this business:

It looked like an easy, convenient way to help save money on grocery purchases. And on other items as well.
