Not sure what happened, but my money which was almost $100 disappeared around the 1st of January. They sent me directions on what to do! Great experience
I had a significant issue with a decent sized rebate, and Ibotta helped me clarify. I love this app… it helps me extend my donation dollars!
In today's economy, every penny helps! Customer Support is great and very helpful if you run into problems. 10
Ibotta does a great job. It's fast and easy and you can have real money back, not substitutes.
I started using iBotta in 2012, right after it was founded. While it has the most rebates of any app, it also is the worst about paying out what it owes you. 95% of the time I purchase multiple items, it credits me for one instead of 5. Customer support is a joke; they do nothing and claim they've credited you; they're so incompetent that sometimes they take AWAY money from your balance and claim they credited you. And don't expect to get a single rebate if you link their card instead of scanning a receipt.
I was missing credit, messaged, and it was corrected within an hour or so.
You repeatedly do not give me the proper cashback that your app says it will. This is a joke, if it's using AI, it is failing miserably. I purchased two kombochas today and was uspposed to get $1.10 back (which is very little money these days) however, I was shafted and only got.60 cents. It's truly not worth using Ibotta anymore. You rarely have anything on there I use, and when I do, you don't credit my account.
I don't have many issues with participating products not applying a rebate. If I do, I have had great experiences with getting issues resolved.
Let me know when I miss cash back. I enjoy getting cash back!
Excellent customer service. Response time was awesome. Thank you.
As always Ibotta has GREAT Customer Service. Even when you are wrong they explain what happened and when something does go wrong it is fixed FAST! Thank you
Kamal took care of in a matter of minutes. Great JOB! Thanks, Ibotta
I love shopping with my Ibotta app. Walmart receipts seem to process much quicker than Kroger!
I purchased 2 Ibotta products at Kroger today:
1 STEM STARTER KIT and 1 SALAD KIT.
Ive noticed lately that rebate offers are not being added properly. On a recent trip to Crest foods I bought 2 qualifying head and shoulders products. I was only given credit for one even though the rebate said up to 4 times. Today I shopped at Target and scanned a package of nerds gummy clusters. It says it qualified and is even the exact bad in the rebate picture. When I got home and scanned it to redeem, it says it doesn't qualify.
LOVE GOING THROUGH THE COUPONS TO FIND MY DEALS WOULD BE EASIER IF YOU ONLY SHOW THE COUPONS ONCE NOT IN 3 OR 4 CATAGORIES
I had an issue with the Huggies diapers and sent an email. Miss Katie was very quick to get back with me and helped resolve my issue. Thank you so much!
You used to have more any brand and produce offers. Without those offers, its not worth it to even search the app for coupons. I don't use most of the products that are offered because they are not healthy options.
No offers for produce. Literally the most important food item - fruits and vegetables and there aren't any discounts or rebates for it. The products on sale are always expensive and weird. My closest stores aren't included so it just doesn't work for me any more.
This app used to be GREAT, but just like all the other money saving apps they start to make it harder to earn refunds or rebates.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts! I understand that you're finding it increasingly challenging to earn cash back with the app, and I'm sorry for any frustration this has caused. I've forwarded your feedback to the relevant team for their consideration. We appreciate your support as we work to improve Ibotta.
New to couponing and ibotta, was not able to upload my receipt, tried unlinking and store card still unsuccessful. Wish there were other / more options to receive cashback withdrawals.
Thank heavens for the support and resetting and updating my login information. I had to reset my phone and lost my login information and customer support was able to update everything so I didn't lose the funds on my account.
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.
