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.

Semi Satisfied
May 8, 2024

I did very well except there were several items that were not available at the store and then I didn't get credit for the package of 15 bottles of Boost that I was supposed to get $5.00 back. I don't know why the Boost was $25.33.

Fast rebates!
May 8, 2024

Rebates issued within minutes most of the time! I have been waiting 10 days for rebates from another unnamed site. If there is an issue, it is usually resolved in a short amount of time! Money transferred easily and quickly to PayPal…

Customers first
May 8, 2024

I did not add an item until after I submitted my receipt, but the item would have given me cash back. I emailed Ibotta and they were kind enough to give me my cash back even though I was wrong. I think that says a lot. I'm still new to the app and still trying to learn how to use it properly. Thank you Ibotta, I truly appreciate you correcting my error.

Credits often go in wrong
May 8, 2024

Credits often go in wrong and you have to contact customer SVC. They give you the run around and what should be a 2 second fix turns into days of back and forth. You can make some extra grocery $ but they make it pretty painful.

Who doesn't love cash back?
May 7, 2024

I love Ibotta and cashback. I do have suggestions though. Being able to link more accounts would be awesome like Cub foods. Also for stores such as Aldis, having cash backs specific to that store's brands such as their "momma cozis" for example.

Not worth the hassle
May 7, 2024

Constantly have to contact support for missing cash. Purchased correct items, bar code is correct, says you're getting cash back. Then an email, with no information says the item doesn't match their criteria. Even tho it does. Tired of having to fight them for pennies.
