Sumo oranges
January 23, 2026

As I stated in several emails to you, I checked the barcode for the Sumo citrus oranges. I purchased the required 2 oranges. The barcode indicated that they qualify. This has happened several times when I purchased sumo oranges. But I usually let it go. This time I'm not! I want you to look into this error. I don't know if others have also let you know about this.

To summarize, I needed to purchase 15 items to receive a five dollar rebate. I did purchase all 15. But you did not recognize the sumo oranges. Nor did you add a five items that I purchased at Big Y yesterday.

How to solve an IBOTTA Glitch
January 23, 2026

Overall IBOTTA rates as a 4. I enjoy using it. The rebates are helpful and some are very, very good. Sometimes it does require patience because there are some glitches in their system. You must do your part when you start to have issues and be diligent and it will work out. Example: Clicking on a reward in the store and when you get to your car the reward disappears. Best to take a photo while you are in the store portion of the app where the rebates is and screen shot it. That is helpful to IBOTTA when attempting to give you the reward. This save you and IBOTTA time. Hope this helps.

The best cashback App.
January 22, 2026

I have tried very many cashback apps but I must say this one is the one I use most every trip to grocery store! The app is perfect, never a bug or technical issue, customer care is amazing. Couldnt ask for a better service

Cannot add all loyalty cards to Ibotta
January 22, 2026
Updated review

There appears to be no way to add loyalty cards, other than what I bought a shows on their app. You cannot manually add loyalty card, customer numbers. Specifically BJ's. There are other stores I'm sure. I wish I bought. I would figure out how to add loyalty card numbers manually.
Thank you.

Cashback for items, the store does not sell
January 22, 2026
Previous review

I am very upset when I make a purchase to see that Ibotta is offering cashback for an item that the store in question does not carry. I'm talking about item package sizes. I'm talking specifically about Oikos Protein shakes. BJ's only sells the 15 count packages, but the cashback is for the 12 count package only. I see cashback is not offered for that product at the moment now. There were several other products that this has happened on. I would think that if Ibotta is offering cashback on an item they should make sure that the store that they are offering it carries it. But that does not seem to be the case. It is time consuming to go through the cashback offers and frustrating when you find one, and then after you purchased that item you didn't realize the cashback didn't apply to that particular item. This happened to me so many times it is frustrating. I hope whomever is responsible for the website does their due diligence in checking to see if the store carries the item for which they are offering cashback.
Thank you.

I bought an item that scanned appropriately in the store, but did not show up on my receipt. I submitted a correction, and it was rejected. I submitted pictures of items a receipt, and it was rejected again. Finally, I had to submit a picture of a different item that the worker had thought I had purchased, but it was a different color and clearly not my item. So frustrating to spend so much time w just to get an item approved that has scanned acceptable the whole time.

Too specific
January 21, 2026

I bought 2 Kelloggs cereals. The cash back was for 2 family size of the type I bought. Mine were regular size *my only choice at store). Then the other offer were for 6-7 Kellogg cereals but only certain ones. Terribly picky! 😞

Disappointment
January 21, 2026

Your app is not as efficient as it used to be. It's not convenient to have a product limit or time limit on the number of items I can select at a time. It's time consuming to go back to add products. Most of my shopping is done at Target and I greatly miss the online compatibility of online shopping with Target and being able to redeem Ibotta offers.

Great money saving app.
January 20, 2026

I have been using this app for years now, it's great to save money especially nowadays when grocery stores are gouging us with their prices. Customer service has been great when and if I have any issues regarding cash back offers. Hopefully this app will help others with their offers.

Such a hassle lately
January 20, 2026

The app picks up nothing anymore- giving only credit for 1 item or nothing at all! I had to adjust my receipt because it picked up nothing and then I only received credit for 1 item! Now I have to adjust it again?! Starting to think it's time for a break from Ibotta.
