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.

Dormant account punishment
July 24, 2024

I do not recall ever getting a reminder to use Ibotta until I was notified of having $3.99 deducted for not using Ibotta for 6mos.
I had $20 and forgot to withdraw it and now I cannot. Not fair to not get a reminder!

You give the money then take it back and say it may be an error and you are working on it AFTER you ask us to jump through all the hoops. If I don't have to use Ibotta, I don't. Because I don't trust you.

Missing cash
July 24, 2024

Againi have to make aware that there was also 10 for any receipt aside from the $2.00. I don't understand what is going on with the Ibotta app in recent months as it is frustrating to have to constantly text Ibotta for missing cash & it seems like it takes longer every time to get it corrected. Very disappointed in Ibotta.

It misses lots of rebates and makes a lot of work if you are actually paying attention to it. I get frustrated a lot.

Lately
July 23, 2024

Lately scanning receipts from any commissary is not working, I have to go in and manually scan the items. And then today I again manually scanned items it said accepted, and look again and it only accepted the.10cents for receipt and not the other products, and it currently states items under review and i scanned them in store to see if they matched.

Tops in my book!
July 23, 2024

I've had several shopping apps and IBOTTA is the best by far! They seem to realize that those shopping for deals all the time are legitimate, honest people who are trying to be wise with their purchases. It is hard to always get a great deal on the things that we all need at that exact time. Ibotta is a big help here as they have such a wide range of brands and goods to save on! And they work with/on so many retail spaces: online and physical stores!
They are great with responding from customer service as well!

Never works right
July 23, 2024

I usually buy multiple boxes of cereal and EVERY single time, I only get credit for only one box.It is a pain to continually have to report missing earnings and scan the boxes, etc. Ibota knows they have this problem but they never fix it.
