Ibotta

Overview

The company enjoys a generally positive reputation among users who appreciate its ease of use and significant savings potential. Many customers commend the prompt and effective customer service, highlighting the team's responsiveness in resolving issues related to cash back discrepancies. However, recurring concerns include frustrations over payout limits, inaccuracies in rebate credits, and a perceived lack of variety in eligible products, particularly for budget-conscious shoppers. Overall, while the app is valued for its savings, improvements in product offerings and payout reliability could enhance customer satisfaction further.

Good and very bad
July 18, 2017

I have be able to get rebates sometimes, but other times, I scan the product in the store and the app says it is valid but when I scan my receipt after purchase the app says it is not valid. I would not have bought the product if I knew I would not get the rebate! That is bad

I would not recommend this app to anyone. Money doesn't grow on trees for me obviously that's why I'm trying to get cash back for stuff I bought. The app seems to only offer cash back for the items that cost the most. Youd think having the receipts would be good enough for the app to see what you bought and then give you cash back but I guess not. This app definitely needs work.

No credit
July 8, 2024

Most of the time no credit is given for the products purchased. It's frustrating to submit the appropriate bar codes and still not receive the proper credit.

I signed up when I could link my Kroger account to the Ibotta points. That system is no longer. By the time I load all the goodies and scan the receipts the money I receive is not worth it. The syetm is slow beyonf what is acceptable and disconnects me frequently. Today I received an email that they would charge me maintenance fees if I didn't use more. I am deleting the app today

Issue resolved
April 11, 2024

I sincerely appreciated all those from Ibotta who worked with me to resolve my issue. Although it was a hassle for both of us the matter was resolved and in a very timely matter. The only thing that couldn't be explained was my receipt from the Piggly Wiggly grocery store. That account is linked to Ibotta and how the receipt Ibotta received is different than the actual paper receipt is still a mystery. The receipt Ibotta received had two items at the bottom of the receipt that were not purchased by me! I did send a copy of the actual receipt. How they were different still can't be explained. But the team at Ibotta was still able to straighten things out and I am grateful for that. I still enjoy using Ibotta and will continue to do so. Thanks again!

Missing items
April 17, 2024

I missed 3 items on my shopping trip and IBOTTA found them for me. I was amazed at their service! I missed $5.85 worth of credit and they added it to my balance. THANK-YOU IBOTTA! I totally love your app!

I enjoy using Ibotta since it's just few clicks away for some extra savings. My favorite stores are Trader Joe's, Whole Foods, CVS, Target etc as they are my frequent shopping places. The process is super easy that I just need to use the Ibotta app to review my shopping list and add the items for extra earnings. Then at the end, I just have to submit my receipt and the earnings will apply to my account within 24 hours. It's very user friendly even when I have to contact the Ibotta team when I have questions, their response time is always within 24-48 hours with additional follow-ups after. Did I mention that I just made it to the $50 club

Disappointed
June 5, 2019

I have never had issues with my app until just this last week. I cashed in my money for a gift card and never got the gift card. I followed the directions on how to resend it, but still nothing. So i put in a ticket for help, 4 different tickets I have now put in and no response at all!

It's so easy to use and I am already at 32 dollars (only after a week and half). I upload the receipts of the items I am already buying and it gives me credit on already reduced prices-I use coupons from different retailers like cvs

Miss rebate
August 24, 2024

Missing rebates and this isn't the first time this has happened. Either missing stuff or the receipt won't read over the hassel.

Cash back? HA!
August 13, 2017

I have been trying for several days to redeem my $22 to a gift card. I can't do it! For a stupid $22. On top of that I can't get anyone to return my e mail. I think it's horrible that they advertise the newest way to save... what a joke.
Next stop BBB.

The best cashback app
January 31, 2022

Great app. The cashback from Ibotta can compensate the recent spike in my grocery bill. I have no problem getting cashback from the offers. Occasionally there is a glitch on the app but the Ibotta team have been responsive to resolve it to make sure my account is credited. Keep up the good work!

Does not work
December 1, 2018

Not only waste of time, but they make it hard for you to withdraw your credits... trying to reset my password to be able to get my money, it has been several days, and I still couldn't... it may work if you have little money, so cash out asap and get out of it
