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. However, recurring concerns include frustrations over payout limits, inaccuracies in rebate credits, and a perceived lack of variety in eligible products, particularly for budget-conscious shoppers. Overall, while the app is valued for its savings, improvements in product offerings and payout reliability could enhance customer satisfaction further.

Time consuming
July 19, 2024

It's very time consuming to have to go through the lists every week and check what I think I'll buy. It would be easier if the app Justyn pulled eligible items off the receipt for me.

Doesn't always work
July 18, 2024

I was careful to buy just what was on the list of cash back and it didn't work. I had to scan many of the items and it didn't work even then. Not worth my time for a small amount of money back.

Purchase not honored
July 18, 2024

While shopping at Walmart, I scanned an item and the app showed that it was a good barcode. I purchased the item and when I got home I discovered that I did not get the rebate because it was only offered at Walgreens. When I went to Walgreens to purchase the item again to get the rebate, Walgreens does not have the product. Is there a way to get the rebate since I did make the purchase?

They steal the money you've earned if you're inactive for a while. Pretty lame to take the money. I'll quit using Ibotta because of it.

Since Target ran out of chicken nuggets. I just picked honey chicken tenders and popcorn chicken. You didn't give me any rebate on it?

Always a problem
July 18, 2024

I don't get credit for all of my purchases about 50% of the time. I don't bother to dispute it most of the time because the process is terrible & the effort isn't worth 50 cents or whatever amount they're cheating me out of.
