I've been with Ibotta for many years now. I've only had two issues about not getting the cash back. The issues were solved within two hours or less.

Consumers
April 29, 2024

It was pretty simple just slightly frustrating as it took sorta forever for my rebates to be processed. Which I understand since as many loops as I had to jump I'm sure so did the people that helped me. However, the individual who assumed my account was already linked with no proof was annoying. Regardless everyone else was nice, respectful and fast to reply.!

Doesn't work half the time
April 29, 2024

I am very upset with this site. It doesn't work half the time. I use it every week but it's so aggravating trying to put in the items that you get money back for. It's runs that little circle and doesn't add the product. And then says something went wrong

Awesome customer service!
April 29, 2024

I reached out to Ibotta care because my Walmart receipt wasn't scanning. I needed to claim 9 rebates. I sent them all the information and they credited my account in less than 24 hours. They are excellent!

Concerns
April 29, 2024

I scanned my receipt last night and it showed I earned $2.40 on my purchases. One for Raisin Bran Cereal, 2 Kodiak Pancake Mixes and an any receipt. This morning I had an email showing I earned.30 cents for the Raisin Bran. Just wondering what happened to the rest of my earnings. Ibotta sure isn't what it used to be when I started. Starting to have some real concerns.

I scroll though the offers, pick the ones I use, send photo of receipt and my savings are added to my account. Siple but fun.

I recently had a transaction hiccup while using Ibotta for an online purchase, but their customer service team quickly resolved the issue. Despite the transaction not going through correctly, I was pleasantly surprised to find that Ibotta still honored my cash back. This level of dedication to customer satisfaction is commendable and sets Ibotta apart from other cashback platforms. I highly recommend Ibotta for their outstanding service and commitment to their users.

They wouldn't honor their cash back because they value profits over people. A waste to go through and choose items when they won't give you the cash back. Guess they need the money more than the customers. Just returned my items since it wasn't worth it for me.

They are part of the reason why prices are so high, companies have to raise prices so Ibotta can "discount" them even though they won't give you the money.

Careful with the Cash Back
April 28, 2024

So, there have been several occasions when I see cash back offers on Ibotta and I purchase the item and the offer is gone or changed. It's not like I screenshot before purchase to prove it was there. End up having to make another trip to return the item. Be wary…I know some offers are gone if many consumers use it but with other offers, it literally changes randomly.

Great support
April 28, 2024

Great app. One thing I'd caution for other people is to scan what you're buying as you shop to make sure the coupon/rebate applies to your item. Have bought the wrong item in the past and customer service was quick and helpful!
