Why I ranked 3
Great way to save some Xtra cash & save, BUT & I mean BUT couldn't link to my banking establishment, so now I have to go get a Walmart Green Dot Card to reap my rewards, & still won't know how easy it'll be to connect since haven't yet done so. Will be back for more details...

Best app for cash back at stores that we use everyday. I've earned a pretty good chunk of money, especially during this quarantine.

Ibotta is a scam. Once you have accumulated any appreciable "earnings," as Ibotta likes to refer to a customer's money, it is almost impossible to withdraw or transfer said funds out of Ibotta's clenched fists. Ibotta's customer support is a joke. Rarely can one get an answer from a live human being, and when one does the answer is far from helpful and in mist cases directly works against a y positive resolution for the customer. At one point Ibotta's customer care team manager actually deactivated my account when I requested that my earnings be transferred to my PayPal account. Long story short. After repeated support ticket submissions and emails, my earnings in the amount of $34.44 remain inaccessible to me. DONT WASTE YOUR VALUABLE TIME AND RESOURCES TRYING TO SQUEEZE WATER FROM THIS ROCK.

Until recently WAS a big fan. I always heard that there could be payout problems. I was always trying to get a few items every week and found the kids loving Chex for 1.50 rebate me too. So I planned a huge Ibotta day. I needed 16 buys to get a 10 dollar bonus. I bought every BOGO and big rebate like 1.50 Chex buying multiples. So to AVOID problems I immediately scan my receipt in store. Yep needed 16 items got 23 and had money back of over 32 dollars. Following shopping trip checked my amount on Ibotta. Nothing but a 2$ credit from months earlier. Ibotta of course needs the receipt sent AGAIN. Tried to get receipt copy from Walmart supplying date/time/ register and person scanning and my card. All that supplied Walmart can't find it. I'm not sure how many weeks of shopping I got nothing, even after religiously scanning receipt s each time. I did cash out nearly 90 plus dollars earlier this year but no more. I would think the Ibotta app would hold my receipt pics in a file in my phone they could pull up. So just to be safe send them in and keep all your receipts cause what you here is true.

Fast responses and received great customer service today!

Beginning to learn about it is a little bit confusing I still haven't received credit for some of the things that I have bought that was within the things that I had checked off and I don't understand because it said any brand of that product which is the Downy smell beads and I lost $3 cash back over this deal which was upsetting but I guess you lose some and you periodically have a chance of winning so it has been the experience that I'm taking so far I'm still learning I'm not going to call it quits just yet I'm going to continue to try to navigate and learn more to make my experience more pleasant and rewarding for my shopping experiences.

I work in IT integration and the UI is particularly friendly. Other applications are clunky, however with no instruction other than the on screen prompts I was able to easily use the platform.

Please use my referral code! Nigdvgw to get $10 back! This is a great app I love it! Its saving me lots of money especially when I got to Walmart at least 3 times a week!

Can someone from Ibotta please explain to your clients what the malfunction is here? I have to say this WAS my go to app for the past several Months. Butit this app is completely frustratig to say the least as it's not working. I transferred funds to my acct that still have yet to show up. You can't even send ibotra a message to reach out to someone. It's a joke. Come on Ibotta we are making you money therefore one would think you would fix the problem here because you are clearly loosing business just Google your company and pay attention to what users are saying. I had no idea there were so many complaints. You might want to figure it oit. I personally won't keep waisting my time If it's not fixed here real quick.

This is the second time I've made a large purchase at Amazon and I bought it refuses to give me my credit the first time my purchase was over $600 this time my purchase is over $700 but let you go return something for $20 they'll hurry up and snatch a little 10 since they gave you for the $20 you spent at Amazon or Walmart I am tired of dealing with them and I believe this will be my last month using a Ibotta

Something has to be done about your customer service! It is horrendous. Been waiting 5 days to get my account unlocked. Will definitely cancel when I get my funds.

For me it is very good. I think it is an excellent way to save and save money while buying. Always check the products before you go shopping. It seems not, but it is fast to reach $ 20.

Bery helpful tolls to get in touch love it I hardly will recommend ibotta to my friends and family

Excellent

I find this site to be very useful in keeping my spending low by getting $ back. I absolutely love it as I am nearing retirement. Here's my referral code... UEVAKUC., God bless, Lynn B.

These people were really good until they started making money and realizing they can manipulate the submissions in order to REFUSE PAYING EARNED MONEY! THIS SEEMS TO HAPPEN ESPECIALLY WITH LARGER AMOUNTS OWED THE CONSUMER!

ITS BECOME A CON JOB! IBOTTA IS KNOWINGLY SCAMMING PEOPLE!

A good friend of mine turned me on to Ibotta about a month and a half ago. There was a little bit of a learning curve but I got it down now. Easy Peasy once you learn how the app works. When I first got the app I clicked on a 1.5 litre of Smirnoff Vodka which Ibotta would give me $5.00 when I purchased. I accidentally scanned the credit card receipt by mistake and then tried to scan the correct itemized receipt but the item was no longer available. I emailed customer service with a picture of the correct receipt and they responded the next day and credited my account with the $5.00. So yeah, booze, Tide, Grocery items that I usually buy and some that I tried for the first time that I liked worked out really well. Lots of participating stores, local grocery, Wal-Mart, Amazon, Groupon etc etc. Most the negative reviews I think come from folks who don't understand how to properly use the app resulting in frustration hence the bad reviews. I don't know about them all I know is I just transferred effortlessly $95.05 that I racked up in less than 2 months that I would not have had otherwise. Highly recommend Ibotta!

I really love using Ibotta. It takes a little prep time to go in the app and select your coupons before shopping, but it's sooooo easy. I love earning money back from everyday shopping.

I would stay away from e-bate apps. I have had issues with all of them and have had to file more than one BBB Complaint to be issued a rebate. Today, I'm looking into filing an FTC complaint against iBotta. Every time I've come close to cashing out, they send an email on the very last e-bate that says they can't read the receipt or don't see the product on the receipt. You can then click on "View the Receipt", at which point you will see your crystal clear, perfectly legible, unambiguous receipt. Basically, these e-bate apps are trying to track you and your shopping habits for free. Don't let them. This is your privacy we're talking about. They need to pay for it. Their sole function is to issue rebates, yet they engage in tactics to prevent having to pay. I initially liked iBotta because they offered solid rebates on liquor. I was willing to stick with it even though I had a couple of glitches. I initially gave them 4/5 stars; with a star being shaved for the small problems I had with them. But small problems culminated into bigger ones. The problems also show a distinct pattern of fraud. Stay away.

The cashnack offers are oftentimes worded or presented in such a way as to be somewhat vague in regards to which store will honor the item for bonus cash and/or regular cashback. Due to this confusion I personally have ended up missing out on making bonuses a couple times (and I'm talking about after having bought 13 of 17 not so cheap products) and then again purchasing items I would receive $5 back on for every 2 that I bought (and I bought at least 8 of them, each costing me $5.99, so you know, being a single mother surviving on a fixed income from SSDI benefits that actually adds up to a significant rebate to lose out on. And no, I am not mentally slow, I have two degrees from an Ivy League University so I'm fairly certain I'm not a total dullard. I think, perhaps, your promo writers could be a bit more specific or clear or maybe you should decrease all the extraneous rules, they are sometimes a bit much. Or make it less confusing. For instance, if you can only earn bonus cash and cash back on jimmy dean and tyson from sams club then why does it come up a million times while I'm shopping at both Walmart and Albertsons, it is very misleading. And why advertise Reese ice cream cones as a bonus at Walmart when they only sell the ice cream in the gallon? Again not cool. Same with the Gluten free Digiorno pizza. Bonus and cashback ads all day long but product, nope. In fact, getting the 10 bonus products was tricky but I thought I succeeded when I got 8 chickens and cereals...yet, nope. Totally a waste pf my time. Even when I did manage to get $50 in cashback (after spending over near $400) I wasn't even allowed to put it to my Paypal or bank but instead had to buy a giftcard. That's really rather Third Reich of you, isn't it? Must say, I heard good things about Ibotta but my experience has bern quite the opposite.

Bot chat. No bueno

Target got 9 items on the list total $9.45 got the bonus $5.00 also got nothing wrote c several times n
Got nothing but when you should get more then 5.00 think they keep it happen alot

It's a really good investment to shop at your favorite stores. As well as helping me out to earn cash back or any rewards while dedicating your time to use the Ibotta app.

I totally love being an Ibotta member and enjoying saving money with Ibotta.
