“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.

Although the missing cashback looks like it was my error, I thought I checked the boost product, but apparently it didn't take or I plain missed it. Customer service credited the amount anyway. With food prices today and social security being what it is, It was appreciated that Ibotta made the credit to my account.

I really like Ibotta. The app is easy to use. You can scan your reciept manually or attach your stores loyalty card and let the app take things from there. If you attach your stores loyalty card to Iotta, you won't have to worry about missing cash back opportunities. Easy peasy way to earn a few bucks.

Reason I chose this business:

I'm part of a few couponing group on FB and people are always mentioning Ibotts, so I thought I would give it a go. I'm not at disappointed in that choice.

Hello there,

I'm writing to bring to your attention a few recent issues I've encountered with the Ibotta app.

Firstly, I made several purchases through QVC and activated the 12% savings offer via Ibotta. However, I did not receive the expected savings in my account.

Lastly, I encountered a limitation while redeeming a savings offer at Walmart. The offer allowed for only five qualified items per receipt. While I received the savings for my first receipt, the second receipt was not credited despite there being no daily limit specified. I have already reported this issue through the app, but I have not yet received a response.
I must emphasize that I have been a loyal user of Ibotta for quite some time and have generally had positive experiences. However, these recent issues have caused some disappointment.
I understand that technical difficulties can arise, and I appreciate the information you provided regarding the QVC savings issue. It is reassuring to know that your team is working to resolve these problems.

As a business owner myself, I believe that constructive feedback is essential for continuous improvement. Therefore, I am sharing my experiences with the hope that you can address these issues and maintain the positive experiences of your users in this competitive market.
I look forward to a resolution and continued positive experiences with Ibotta.

Reason I chose this business:

I conducted research on the app approximately five years ago. Its overall rating was higher in comparison to other savings apps. Additionally, the number of users was significantly higher, and the majority of the reviews were favorable.

It's super easy to sign up and get started! Once you start, you're hooked! An easy way to save money for a rainy day, unexpected expenses, vacations, day trips, or just pamper yourself. A great way to get them extra gifts for Christmas!

I was shorted some money back and didn’t get credit for a couple of bonuses but they made it right.

Reason I chose this business:

Once I found out how simple and easy it is to use, doesn’t make sense not to!

I had to scan a barcode 5 times. Each time it said it matched. And yet after submitting The receipt I had to do it again! It still says pending even though it matched.

Reason I chose this business:

It seemed like an easy way to get money back for groceries I purchased.

I bought four boxes of Kelloggs Frosted Mini Wheats at Publix. Your app only saw three. I attempted to correct it in the app using the missing items link. I scanned the fourth box and submitted. Later, I checked to see if I got credit. The transaction said that my submission was corrected, but there was no change. I only received $1.50 instead of $2.00 and I am missing one count towards the Weekend bonus.

No results yet.

Reason I chose this business:

I have been with Ibotta for over 8 years. It helps me save money. But mess ups like this is why so many people stop using this app. Mistakes happen, but when the correction doesn't work, it looks bad.

I've earned over $1000 in the year and a half I've used Ibotta. The money back is usually on brand-named items, and I probably spend too much time comparing the end price of the items on Ibotta and the other brands. I usually glance through the offers on Ibotta when I review my shopping list. It's nice to earn extra money and have it there when I run short and need to cover bills. I've withdrawn my earnings once or twice, and it was easy. My money was quickly in my account. I will scan the barcode to make sure the product is correct, and I have found a few times that the item's barcode doesn't match the Ibotta offer when it is the exact size, type, etc. I usually buy the store brand instead, as it usually isn't worth my time to submit a review and then wait to hear back from Ibotta.

Reason I chose this business:

A friend recommended it to me to get extra money.

After scanning a saved offer in store where the system verified that 1) the offer was valid and 2) the items (limit 5) matched, I checked out in the store, then immediately scanned receipt where the Ibotta system recognized and counted my 5 items and indicated $2.50 (.50 x 5) as part of my total for claimed offers, upon hitting the submit button, the $2.50 was removed from my total and the offer then showed as expired when I went to investigate. How can 1) I scan and verify in store and 2) upload and the system recognize to then have the offer suddenly disappear? You duped me into buying these items, with no valid offer, I wouldn't have purchased the 5 items.

Haven’t heard back yet.

Reason I chose this business:

It generally work okay, but nothing but problems for me this week.

I had trouble with an item, app said product matched but app did not reimburse. I contacted customer service, they sent me the reimbursement immediately, the very same day. Typically, when I buy from Walmart, the app matches the receipt and I have my cash very quickly, no need to manually upload receipt. I've earned 200.00 over the last 2 years. Each week there are offers for products I use regularly and some new items to try.

I did not receive credit for buying Tyson chicken from Walmart. They explained to me what happened and how to prevent it from happening again. I was given the cash back and I couldn't be more happy.
