Ibotta Reviews Summary

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.

Horrible
July 25, 2024

Ibotta is a scam and a lier, They say they will give you your cash back but they don't then they have so many reasons why you don't qualify for the cash, they don't respond back and if they do it's the same email that is not the issue or problem, I saw a fee people on Social Media saying the same thing.

Second chance
July 25, 2024

Was happy to receive notice I had purchases that I could claim that had not been chosen. Sometimes you just miss them.

I wish I could just scan the receipt and the app find the products and give me credit. I hate how long of a process it is to use the app.

Cash back

Cash back didn't hit my account. Was kind of a pain to figure out how to talk with Ibotta, but once I found it, the customer service in getting it resolved was very good. Thanks

Great Customer Service
July 25, 2024

The Ibotta Care Team has reviewed three of my submissions that weren't caught through the app. Contacting the Ibotta Care Team has been easy through the app. My receipts have been reviewed within 24-36 hours. I'm giving them 5 stars! I'll continue to use ibotta because of them.

Not all offers work - but most do
July 24, 2024

I purchased a bottle of Malfy Gin 750ml from Total Wine ("any liquor store" that should have given me $3 back. I had checked the item in my app before I went shopping. The brand, size and "flavor" was all within the fine print. Upon submitting my receipt, it was declined because upc code was not in Ibotta file. Yet there was no way for me to submit it. Error came back it didn't qualify. I would like to know WHY it didn't qualify since every bit of the description was spot on to what I bought.
