Better than coupons
December 10, 2021

I just started this in November this year and I'm at $69.67. Nice especially since I don't use coupons anymore.
I only wish they had a bigger selection of the gift cards you can redeem your cash for, but you can opt for the cash to your PayPal or checking account.

Not always accurate
June 13, 2024

I enjoy the app but sometimes the bar code scans are inaccurate, most often with the "any brand" items. Most recently, I bought 2 trays of porkchops anticipating to be able to earn a few cents for them, but the scan repeatedly gave me a "does not match" error. I wish there was a way to provide immediate feedback, but even when I clicked the "reconsider" button, I still received the "doesn't match" error. I would like to be able to take a picture of the item rather than just the arcade to get reconsiderations. I'm not sure how to get customer support

When i am able to take a picture of my receipt and make sure everything is there the app is good. However, I shop weekly at a store that uses a membership card and it won't allow me to take a picture and make sure all items are included. Every single time items are left off so I don't get compensated for them. No one ever responds to my messages.

I really like to concept of Ibotta but just beware if you don't redeem something within so many months they begin to take your earnings way from you. They take About 3.50 a month for inactivity. They took about $35.00 from me before I even knew their policy.

Great app, great customer service
July 4, 2024

So, this is one of the receipts apps that I actually make money on and not a hassle. If there is a problem its easy to contact customer service and they really try to work it out with you.

Ibotta Walmart rebate
March 18, 2024

Had issue with a rebate due to the cashier scanned a product twice on my receipt causing me to go to customer service counter to get money back for the second scan. Therefore it made it look like I returned the item totally. So I had to have assistance to get the actual product that was eligible for rebate to process. I was assisted in a quick and professional manner. I appreciate Ibotta and the service I received from those who took care of my issue. Thank you!

I'm not receiving some of my savings.
July 7, 2024

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.

All you do is look in the app for the deals, go shopping like we all have to do anyway, scan your receipt and you get money back! I have saved up enough money in this app this past year that I can buy a new laptop and a printer! So awesome

I've earned well over $100 across time with this app. When I had a concern, they quickly responded and went above and beyond to resolve. I'm very pleased!

I absolutely love, love, love Ibotta! I've been using it for a year and have cashed out over $300.00. I love the bonuses they add because it really helps to get up to the 20.00 very quickly. Just this past week I've already cashed out over $40.00 and an extra 10.00 for referring a friend. Thank you Ibotta!

Great Customer Service
May 9, 2024

I submitted a receipt that had up to 5 redemptions, but it only recognized 1 item. I reached out to support on Sunday (day of purchase) and the problem was fixed the next day! I appreciate the quick responses and resolution to the issue!

LOVE IBOTTA
November 19, 2021

I was hesitant when a friend initially told me about Ibotta - until she showed me the money I could get back from my receipts. She walked me through the process; how to take pictures of my receipts and then how I could actually get my rewards and even bonus's! I love looking through all the products in the evening and making out my grocery list! Another feature I love is that I can scan the QR codes for products to make sure I'll get rewards before I purchase. I have since referred friends and relatives who were initially also skeptical but now we are all addicted! DO IT!

Grocery shopping seems ok. You will collect cents and a couple dollars. Online shopping with big credit won't track. They will have reasons that the purchase didn't meet criteria or not tracked. Don't expect to get big cashback eg. $40, $50 -- all lies! Customer service took FOREVER. Then you got news that sorry... no credits. Ibotta sucks!

Overall Best App
July 17, 2022

Amazing customer service, even when I've made a mistake, never have they made me feel as if I'm a nincompoop! Endless products and stores, easy to maneuver and instant payout over $20. I just hit $2500 club. Ibotta sure helped stretch the dollar this year. Forever grateful.

Waste of time
October 3, 2020

Such a waste of time. You'll end up purchasing crap you may not have otherwise- then try and submit receipt and they reject it. Happened 3x before I said screw this nonsense. It would take years to ever reach $20 payout when they reject half the time. Trust me, spend your time doing things that are less frustrating- like threading a needle while blindfolded

Ibotta is a huge waste of time. I'd rate their customer service if it existed but it's impossible to get any response from an actual person. Barcodes never scan or are readable, and when they actually do…. The item comes up missing the next day. Huge waste, I have found way better apps that actually work.

I do almost all of my shopping on Amazon, except for groceries.
Ibotta used to give me cash back on every purchase that I made. I made 6 purchases about 2 months ago worth almost $800. I never received a single penny back from Ibotta. I stopped using them as it is no longer worth it.
