Limited savings
April 3, 2024

It's frustrating that certain foods are listed at certain stores only. I may buy something at Publix but it only gets points if purchased at Kroger and since I always shop sales, it's ridiculous. Come on Ibotta, do better with people trying to say money

1.00 from Food Lion
April 3, 2024

I am bewildered about the Food lion dollar. I was under the impression that when I shop at Food lion. I would receive the one dollar on indicated on the toggle Food Lion. Most of my grocery shopping is done at Food Lion but I have not received this Dollar yet. Just don't understand the process thank you.

Missing cash back
April 3, 2024

Twice now I have been missing cash back on items I have purchased from hannaford. My account is linked and I do not submit receipt and there is no way to submit for missing items. Last week I was missing 1 item that would have qualified for an extra bonus and when I reported that nothing was ever done. And I still got an email asking how they did

I didn't receive a $4 bonus and it took less than 12 hours for customer service to respond, put the $4 in my account and close the ticket! And they still had time to be nice and kind and helpful!

It's hard to find many of the items Ibotta has. I'm shopping regularly and can't seem to find anything on the Ibotta list that I'd actually use.

Overall, I find I do not purchase the products available for rebate. Initially there were more "any" products. Also there are other apps that simply scan your receipt and credit you for qualifying purchases. Having to scroll through so many products only to find I didn't purchase anything eligible is time consuming and annoying. Also, reducing my unclaimed credits following the pandemic only further soured my taste. I'll keep using, but not expecting much.

I'm liking ibotta
April 2, 2024

Using the ibotta app is an easy way to earn some extra money on things that you plan to purchase.
There are many brick and mortar on online retailers from which to earn cashback from your purchases.
I recently had a minor issue that was quickly resolved to my complete satisfaction by ibotta's customer service team. Customer service is very accessible and response is amazingly fast!

Great rebates!
April 1, 2024

I have been using Ibotta for a few years now. My lifetime earnings is about $1300. It's a great way to get rebates on products I normally use, as well as an opportunity to try new products. As I mentioned, I have been using Ibotta for a while. I have only had one bad experience, and it was last Thanksgiving. Other than that, everything has been great.

Missing cash back
April 1, 2024

I purchased multiple cvs brand allergy medicines,
Including nasal spray, pills and eye drops I should have gotten 44.00 rebates with all the products, I was only given 29.00 and you can not talk to anyone about clearing up the issues. I was sent a letter to resend the receipt, I did that and also rescanned the items and still didn't get the correct amount.
