I have just returned from Market Basket, Waltham MA. I bought bacon, saltines, and three packages of WASA crackers which showed up BEFORE i LEFT HOME as going to get refunds. But they did not give me credit for any of those purchases or the. 25 for receipt!
This is not the first time it has happened... poor business practice!
It's been like a month since I still can't cash out. They keep your money by locking your account for no reason. I know I have t done anything wrong. They actually told me that I did nothing wrong and that they have unlocked my account and they still haven't unlocked it after they said they would. I wrote back and now it's been 2 weeks since. They haven't responded yet to my request but some bogus it's gonna be 7 days. Please shut this company down.
They lock your account for no reason and keep the money that is saved for a gift card. Try to use excuses for the reason it is deactivated. Pitiful Company!
I've been trying for weeks now to redeem my earnings. Never had problem before, but now I get an error message that phone verification failed!? Even writing customer service, reading the FAQ and follow the instructions I haven't been able to get my money. It's starting to feel like a big SCAM. So sad that you cannot find any honest, caring people anymore that take pride in their job and are willing to help you. :(
I bought Fage ( which must mean crap in another language) yogurt just to get the rebate and earn the bonus. Well they couldn't see the yogurt on my receipt. Bull crap! Yogurt was the very first item on my receipt.
The switched phillyswirl sorbet product to not give me credit! I submitted my receipt 3 times and they said it was unreadable and then when I tried to resubmit they switched the product on me. Sooo crooked!
I signed up with Ibotta and forgot the number I used because at the time I didn't have a working phone. I used WiFi and the app "textplus" for a phone #. I used every number I could think of and it still won't verify. I emailed support and they said they have to verify my old number to replace with a new number. I have $27.40 in my account and they refuse to let me verify my identity in any other way. I want my money.
Absolutely fantastic way to get money back for purchases on things I'm already going to buy! Very easy to use and reliable
I signed up for Ibotta at the end of May, and was and actually am enjoying using it and seeing what deals and bonuses I can accomplish. I have had two weird issues in the last week. One, my husband signed up on HIS device under me, which was my 3rd referral. The very next morning his account was deactivated. He did nothing wrong, validated a valid offer, and I never got my bonus for refering. Sent emails out a few days account and still nothing back. So whatever, I move on and have had several friends sign up. By several I mean like 4 total. My fourth (but third according to Ibotta) friend signed up and used her Ibotta. I live in South Carolina, her in Michigan. I got a 25 dollar bonus, plus had a little money in my account. I had a total of 41.75 in there and went to cash out. I had gotten locked out due to, to many password attemps, and after doing internet search I found maybe that is why I could not transfer my money. I re set my password, and can get in my account, however it will not let me cash out and to contact support. Which I have through email and facebook. I would like to see the infraction I made or if they will correct it, that would be awesome. I am not aware of ANY rules broken, all my referrals and receipts have been legit. I am hoping for a response to be able to try and continue the use of this, I have told so many people how awesome this was, now I feel like I lied and need to go back and tell them not to do it. Hoping this was an honest mistake on their part (or even mine if I did something I was unaware of) but I went a READ all the terms and can't find anything. If I did, I feel they should show me the infraction.
I happen to love I botta. Easy to use and always usually pays out. I've only have a few instances where something went wrong but they made sure to credit my account
Ive been using Ibotta for one month and already received $40 cash back. Thats awesome right? I love it. You dont always have to get the money on a gift card you can send it to PayPal or Venmo. Heres a referral code for you -> myyedke
I was travelling and not having my own place for almost a year. Not buying groceries, I didn't use ibotta for a little bit. When I logged back in, they had drained my account to fees. Customer support wasn't the least bit helpful. I'm so glad I wasted so much time scanning receipts. It's great.
When I first got the app there were so many rebates on products I always buy and in a matter of two or three months I had earned $80. Easy to cash out for starbucks, Walmart and other gift cards or get the money. I had no problem with that. But after the initial three months all the products I was buying and getting good rebates on all disappeared. Now 6 months on Im only earning 25c or a little more on $200 grocery receipts. I think they pull you in somehow using your shopping habits then drop those products once they have you hooked. I cant be bothered anymore.
So far, the problems I had with the app were resolved with customer support. Slow to respond at time, but responsive, overall.
I have earned over $1,000 in extra spending $$
Yet, I am seeking ACTIVE Shoppers to mutually enhance earnings.

I accumulated $45 in cashback, and they decided to deactivate/ban me so I can't request a payout. Look around, this happens to tons of people. Don't waste your time with this site.
I tried using iBotta for a while, but I wasn't really using it, so I cannot attest to the problems other people have had with the application. However, I wasn't able to delete my account as per their instructions, and there was no internet guide to doing so.
I finally found out how to delete my account (hopefully):
1) Submit a request, as per their own instructions on deleting an account (you can find the link there).
2) Choose "General Account Issues"
3) Choose "Cancel account request"
4) Fill in the other request bars.
5) Hope for the best, like I am right now.
This app started out okay but now they will find any reason to not issue a rebate, especially the "any" items like "any brand of coffee." Now I'm getting messages 3-4 days after I upload a receipt which say they "couldn't find total" or "date of receipt couldn't be found" and they have to know full well that the receipt has already been thrown away! Customer service is virtually non-existent and the app is complete rip off!
Like everyone says they always have an excuse not to rebate you and keep your money. Scam app stay away waste of time I use kicks and ebates much easier
I downloaded this app not sure how it was going to work, but I tried it anyway. I got normal everyday grocery items and I went out of my way to get certain items they had rebates on. Those certain items being ones id only use coupons for etc. I ended up getting about $30 from the rebates that were offerd, I decided to try to redeem that to make sure it was legit. It told me my account was locked, I contacted the care team like instructed, they then told me my account has been permanently deactivated due to having multiple accounts on multiple devices. Which is not true. My advice would be to not waist your time with this app, and print out coupons as needed.
Answer: Absolutely so true! I earned up just over $100 and when I went to cash out they said I was fraudulent YET I HAVE EVERY RECEIPT and all submissions were valid. It took me months to get to this amount. Hmmmmm Class action anyone?
Answer: Because they deny certain purchases due to cost! It's become a scam!
Answer: I tried to withdraw money for the first time and it said my account was locked because of multiple attempts which was not true.! I sent 5 requests for help in a week and they finally responded by deactivating my account and keeping the 360.00 that took me months to accumulate. They claim I tampered with a date on a receipt and I just crossed off the account number. So they can keep my money that is mine. How can I get my money back?
Answer: Sorry Jenna bit it seems like you're kinda late for that rebate a few years actually. I'm pretty sure that ibotta have 100% absolutely forgot about you and by not I'm sure you forgot about too. :)
Answer: Go to your $amount and cash out and it will say bank or gift card.
Answer: Why don't any product receipts add extra bonus for us?
Answer: You have to email the morons that run their customer support at least 3 times before you'll get the proper amount credited to your account.
