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.

Overall, while the app is valued for its savings, improvements in product offerings and payout reliability could enhance customer satisfaction further.

I deleted my ibotta app on my iphone because I had two. Both disappeared, now I lost my cash back that I previously earned. It was around $7.50. Can you reinstate it?

Almost quit with Ibotta
September 16, 2024

After several weeks in a row of having to ask where my cash back is and having to repeatedly send more pictures of my receipt and spell out again which ones they had missed, I decided if it happened another time I was going to be done. ( Like other women have told me they decided). However, it appears that the glitches in the system have been corrected, and I'm back to receiving my cash back within a few days. And this time the day after I shopped. So thank you for fixing the problems.

Incorrect refund
September 16, 2024

I went to Walmart and purchased the Cracker Barrel Artisian cheese. It had showed a refund of 4.97. I only got $1. I'm very disappointed

I love earning money with Ibotta!
September 16, 2024

Great assortment of vendors and products. My favorite stores and online sites are all here! So easy to clip savings for my favorite brands - and the savings has encouraged me to try new products. Love that I can shop online through the Ibotta app and earn even more cash. Easy to cash out whenever I want to. This is a winner for me!

Missing cash back
September 16, 2024

I recently started couponing and with that I found Ibotta. I've made a few purchases and all as went well. I did have a purchase and was missing cash back. I reached out to Ibotta and they fixed it right away! Super happy with them!

Still not settled
September 16, 2024

My credit still isn't completely resolved it took a long time and I'm still owed money. You make it so difficult to actually contact you, without getting auto responses. I should be getting 4.98 still bogo. I wouldn't have gotten it. I sent a screenshot of that one and still didn't receive the money.

Great results

I've been using Ibotta for years now and have received money back on just about every time I've shopped. It's very easy and worth the effort.

Previous review

I love earning cash back with Ibotta. If they would put some more popular items being bought other than all the more expensive items more people would scan. Groceries are a number one expense in family's budget. Money back is a big incentive.

Loyalty card does not link!
September 15, 2024
Updated review

My Winn Dixie card doesn't link with Ibotta! I've tried all suggestions such as removing the card and then adding it back to no avail. I usually have to take a receipt picture which is almost impossible to capture correctly. Very frustrating since I purposefully buy certain items for the points.

Experience is going downhill
September 15, 2024

Enjoyed using for several months but the experience is diminishing as there are many problems getting offers and bonuses. Entire trips not appearing in system or no offers logged!
Maybe I'll choose WM CB for awhile.

Bonus and buy multiples
September 15, 2024

Bonus is great if example $5 for 10 or 15 items, but $1 for same amount, NO! The items that have to purchase so many of it (even 2) is not good for a single or couple household. I prefer example $1 back for one instead of $2 for 2.

I absolutely love Ibotta! I've only been using it about a week and I've earned $25 cash back. It's been so user friendly and easy to learn.

Watch produce offers!
September 15, 2024

Mixed feelings so far. Produce may not get cash back even when offered since the UPC Code does not show on the receipt. (Only the lookup code.)

Rewards are great!
September 14, 2024

The rewards are great. I do struggle however from time to time with missing cash back on items wish it was a little simpler to contact customer service for assistance when money back is missing. I have missed cash back on purchases because I got frustrated trying to contact someone if the sale does not appear on my account.
