The idea of getting cash back from my purchases is great. However, the process you have to go through to upload a receipt. Remember to do it within a certain amount of days. Select your products that you want to discount on before you submit the receipt. It's just entirely too much. Then, if you're submitting a long receipt, you have to capture the entire seat. Wait for the receipt to show green on all of the bars, which is also another hassle. It's just too much work. Especially when you compare it to apps like fetch, you don't get cash back from fetch you get points and those turn into cash but the ability to just snap a receipt and it captures the company name the date and whatever else it needs to capture and it finds the products for you. You don't have to pre-select any products Easy Peezy. I have to uninstall Ibotta. It just causes me too much stress and it was my heart condition. I refuse to be stressed behind something that offered so little in return I have had the same $14 in here for quite some time. Years. Hope this helps.
Angelo & Kariza both made things right of an offer not counted & completed bonus compensating the $5 bonus & $35 bonus with $2 offer. I appreciate them both!
I can never find where to take pictures of the receipt and submit. It takes to much time to click what you are going to buy or what you bought much easier to take a picture of a receipt. Fetch is much simpler to use.
I was missing an offer. I reached out to Ibotta with my issue and provided documentation. The representative read my submission, understood the issue, and I received a response and resolution in less than 24 hours. Excellent customer service.
Thank you so much for your review! We truly appreciate your kind words and support, and we're delighted to know you had a great experience.
The Ibotta app was not crediting me on an item that was clearly eligible. I had to go through the team and they did resolve it
Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We truly appreciate your feedback and are committed to making each visit even better. We look forward to your continued loyalty and the opportunity to serve you again.
I think it would be nice when you inform me that I missed an item to receive cash back on you would inform me what item it was this happened to me last week and I could not figure what item to resubmit. Thanks
Thank you so much for your kind words! It’s wonderful to know that our effort to provide real value is making your purchases rewarding. We're excited to keep delivering great experiences every time you use Ibotta.
You always have too many exceptions on products. Example: bag of candy 3.7 oz - 5.3 oz. That means 3.7 to 5.3 to me. No - I buy the 4.5 - it's not included in offer. Buy 4 yogurt, oops can't be different flavors - you have to buy 2 sets of four of same flavor. The only Walmart here doesn't even carry half the brands on your offers!

Requires time and patience to look through the offers. Sometimes the items are not available or hard to locate in the store. Thanks for the 'For You' list that puts my usual buy items for me to see first.
Linking your store to the ibotta app would be easier, but I don't trust it to find all the coupons that is available.
I spend 4 hours looking at all the possible coupons and reading the fine print. If you dont read the fine print, (for buying the exact size, buy 2s, only one time counts) then I've wasted money buying the product to get the discount when I could buy a cheaper brand instead. Some things they show a picture of doesn't even get the discount.
Then I spend 2 hours in the store searching for the product advertised. It takes a lot of time.
Anytime I ever have a question or an issue, the resolution team is always there to assist me and resolve any and all issues in a very timely fashion. Thank you Ibotta for all the hard work. Hands-down the best app ever.
Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We truly appreciate your feedback and are committed to making each visit even better. We look forward to your continued loyalty and the opportunity to serve you again.
I had made a purchase with a verified product on Ibotta but the app was not recognizing the UPC code nor was it allowing me to manually enter to recieve cash back. I reached out and within 1 day - had the rebate added to my account. Great, quick service - love this app! I have been saving so much!
Thank you for your enthusiastic feedback! We’re thrilled to hear you’re enjoying the experience and appreciate your support.
I buy what I need or want, not what the store or ibotta is pushing. I spend $150 at a grocery store and only get 15 to 70 cents in savings. It seems as though everytime I get a pittance of savings on an item, it never shows up again. Every item that I check is telling the store and ibotta that I may be interested, and then it falls off the list and doesn't return.
This is a mining operation for the store and ibotta - popular and quality items are not consistently offered while they attempt to push non-sellers. That's how I see it.

Phone wouldn't link. Customer service is tough to access! But, finally email worked. It took a few explanations, but they finally solved the problem
I have been having issues with the app not reading my purchases correctly. Just now I purchased Poppi at Sprouts and I am getting a different cashback for a Culture pop drink.

My Dollar General account hadn't retrieved a receipt for purchases made including Ibotta offers. I reached out to the support team and they were able to find the transaction and manually credit the amount of the Ibotta offer redeemed. Ritchie was able to assist promptly and kindly. I hope he gets proper recognition as a highly valued member of the Ibotta team!

I purchased a product i was supposed to get money back on and it was denied. The specifications said one time per receipt, not one time per lifetime.
I'd sent a screenshot of my purchases and the receipt and a screenshot of what you said you would pay, which is $2.00 for the liquid All. You gave me $0.75

I was missing cash back and even my offer was not pending. I reached out to Ibotta Help and I was able to get this resolved within 24-48 hours. If not sooner! Very friendly and made sure all was taken care of and I got my cash back!

Thank you for your enthusiastic feedback! We’re thrilled to hear you’re enjoying the experience and appreciate your support.
I purchased 2 Coke products on a recent trip to Meijer. I must have not scanned them properly for rebate but I should have a $. 40 credit vs $. 20, but it continues to only come through as $. 20. The products are both shown on the receipt along with a Pepsi.
