Easy Money
July 22, 2024

I have been using Ibotta for 5 years now. The app is user friendly, deals don't require an unreasonable amount of purchases I don't need and cash withdrawals are super easy. It's also fun to learn about new products that I won't usually notice when I run in and out of stores with a shopping list.

I contacted the help center when I couldn't figure out what I had done wrong. It took a couple of tries, but they were super helpful and got me up and running properly. I highly recommend their service.

Great experience, found the item shown in the app matched it with the receipt and Bingo I received my cash back!
I will say, if possible purchase the cash back items separately! Great app!

This was not the first time I have had missing cash, however, it is usually reversed and resolved quickly with no complaints. This time was different because after I shopped for 28 redemption offers, submitted my paper receipt that was accepted and I confirmed, the cash was not given, and worse was the receipt went "missing" from my account. After 4 days of resubmission of receipt and the list of offers, I got the resolution with all my cash given. It was upsetting, especially not being able to speak to 'a person' on the phone, then aggravating to wait 4 days for a recovery, but in the end, it was positive. I don't know what happened to cause this debacle, but I hope it does not happen again. It was exhausting to me!

Why is it that when I bought a refuse the receipt the people reviewing them are either blind or stupid? I have to fight with them all the time along with everybody else. I know that has Ibotta because they don't know how to read on a receipt. I just submitted one with four drinks on it. They only gave me credit for one because they don't know how to look at 4@$5.00 equals $20. They count that as 1@ $20

Easy money
July 22, 2024

When I realized how easy it is to use Ibotta, I was hooked. I always check to see if the item(s) that I've checked are on sale. If they are, I go on ahead and place them on my little list. If I'm lucky I can certain items for practically nothing.

Ibotta saves us $$
July 21, 2024

I've been doing this for about 8 months now. My daughter tried to get me into this a few years ago but I told her I was too busy. Now I'm unemployed and ibotta is what's keeping us afloat. Thank you Ibotta! Also a shout out to your awesome customer service team. Keep up the good work.

They work with you
July 21, 2024

So I recently had an issue of missing cash back. I emailed the company, gave them all information required and even tho they say I didn't get the right product, which I did, they still worked with me. They explained how I can receive my cash back if something like this happened again and gave me the cash back!

Unhappy customer
July 21, 2024

I don't think your app is customer friendly at all. I am not very good at all that but i'm sure many customers aren't either. It needs to be much more self explanatory for me and others like me.

Outstanding customer service!
July 21, 2024

I had purchased Reese's Puff cereal at Dollar General, used a coupon, but wasn't showing I could not use coupon for the purchase. I reached out the Help Center and in no time they credited my account with the cash back on these items! Handled the situation very quickly and were absolutely great to deal with.
