“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 had an item clipped. It wasn't showing up. I tried numerous times to up load my receipt again so I thought I'll just send it then try to fix it. Every time the item would not show I contacted Ibotta and within a few hours I had the $$.

I bought 128 oz Pyrex laundry detergent and Jose chicken an cheese Taquettos and did not get cash back for them.

They gave my a credit to a purchase I made on Ibotta. It was clearly on the app but it wouldn't let me claim it!

I am glad for the platform as I can save extra money on products I use at grocery stores I regularly shop at.

I had purchased several products for Ibotta offers a few years ago and when I Submitted my receipt I did not receive all the money expected although the item requirements had been met. I contacted customer service and they corrected the errors promptly.

Reason I chose this business:

It has a broad range of supermarkets participating. I also have taken advantage offers by several online stores.

Update: Ibotta read this review and credited my account for the 2nd box of cheerios. I am satisfied and changed my stars from 3 to 4.
I submitted a receipt recently for 2 boxes of cheerios for $0.75 back each, totaling $1.50. The receipt was only approved for 1 box. I feel it's no use to contact customer service. I've had to so many times. Once I made an online Safeway order and received the 2% cash back. Weeks later Ibotta said I returned something and reversed the earnings- which was not true. They weren't able to fix it.

Never fixed the issue. Reversed my cash back earning for an online grocery pickup order. Said I made a return when I never did.

Reason I chose this business:

I started doing Ibotta in 2016 to earn cash back. I used to use it a lot and shop based on the cash back. 8 years later it’s not as good and I only look at the app after I’ve shopped.

You gave me.10 and from my ham I was getting a1.00. It didn't show up so I sent a message about not getting my cash. I saw where it was added but when I got my message from Ibotta you got money it showed only.10 cents

Reason I chose this business:

I love it. I like to redeem for gift cards at the end of the year.

Customer service is conveniently located, in comparison to other shop reward aps. It did take a couple of attempts to correct. However, it was with little to no hassle.

Love the app only issue is it seems to be very sensitive picking up receipt info when uploading while other similar apps aren't as difficult other than that love it

In the middle of one of the big bonuses Ibotta "updated" the app. So now when I submit my receipt I have to scan the item then submit but if I am missing an item or a scan I have to start all over. Don't know if it's just the one store or if it's changed for all stores

It's a lot of emails back and forth. Sometimes it's like the respond without reading what I wrote.

Reason I chose this business:

It was something new to try quite a while ago.

Everything is usually great but sometimes it will ask to scan a barcode that I have already thrown away and I will miss out on cash back.

Sometimes was able to correct but not always.

Reason I chose this business:

Sounded good to make a few bucks on the side.

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.

Although my purchases are supposed to be recorded when I visit $#*!s Market. $#*!s says it is not their fault. You tell me it is working but it is not. That is my closest grocery store & I am frustered that Ibotta doesn't work there.
Also uhapppy with scanning the reciepts at Smiths & other stores. Dificult & time consuming.

Described my problem with $#*!s Market - supposed to be automatic with hone #. You investagated & said it will work now. It doesn't.

Reason I chose this business:

To be able to save some money.
It seemed to work much better in the beginning.

It's super hard to find items offered. Nevertheless the cash back is appreciated.

Tried to give me .50 instead of 3.00 for an offer.

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 love the app but I would like to see more variety in the any item category as I tend to purchase store brand products frequently. Even with your cash back offers sometimes it's still cheaper to buy store brands.

Reason I chose this business:

To save money

I enjoy earning cash back for every day purchases. Ibotta offers a variety of brands to earn cash back from. The reason I have given four stars instead of five is because the timeframe to scan a receipt is only 7 days and that is too short for me sometimes. I often find that a receipt will get missed and it will be too late to scan.

Reason I chose this business:

I enjoy the ease of adding items and then scanning my receipts to earn cash back. Ibotta offers actual cash for scanned receipts versus other companies offering points for gift cards.
