Thieves

They will take back any money you have earned if you don't participate enough! It really doesn't make sense! Sad!

Hooked on Ibotta
September 2, 2021

I enjoy Ibotta so much! I've earned almost $200.00 in a short period of time and consider it a fun and profitable hobby! I would highly recommend Ibotta.

Great cash back app
September 1, 2021

I just downloaded this app four days ago and I already have cash back. I suggest you download this app and then add items, go shopping, redeem the receipt, and get cash back.

Excellent UI
September 1, 2021

I work in IT integration and the UI is particularly friendly. Other applications are clunky, however with no instruction other than the on screen prompts I was able to easily use the platform.

This app is easy and hard to navigate at times. I finally made it to $20. Took awhile and I never got the $10 referral from inviting a friend, so that was kind of annoying. I'm hoping that I will actually get the $20 I've earned. Will check back in with you all if I actually get it put into my bank account! Have a great day! And use my referral code if you need one and we each will make $10! Win win to me :) invite code: BYIVVAR

Ibotta
August 29, 2021

For me personally, I think you need to have a little bit of time and patience to figure out all of the features and rules then just getting used to it. It's taken me almost a month to be somewhat confident- it just has really recent timelines to upload receipts and since I do all my shopping out of town for an entire day& night, I'm always unloading and recovering the 1st few days back so I have missed my chance for most of them. But the ones I did on time worked out great and I love the additional bonuses, totally free items and the fact that you can stack coupons with the cash back. I guess my biggest qualm is giving you so little time for anything including the initial sign up welcome bonuses. Also, cashing out is super easy, it says you can't cash out until you reach $20 but you can actually cash out with gift cards starting at $5 any time.

Inconsistent
August 29, 2021

I do like using Ibotta, because saving money where we can is important to me. Ibotta pretty inconsistently applies clipped rebates for me though. There seems to always be items missing / no rebate applied. I used to take the time to reach out to ask for help with getting them applied, kept my receipts, but I just don't even bother anymore. I have my phone number & Hannaford account linked so that Ibotta is supposed to automatically know what I purchased, but maybe the old way of receipts and clicking yourself what you bought and what you expect a rebate for is a better method?

Love free money
August 29, 2021

It takes a while to get 20 to be able to cash out, but love getting money back on my purchases! I wish you were able to scan the receipt & it find deals for you, instead of adding them before hand.

Ibotta is a great all-in-one savings app, working at nearly every retailer, and includes savings on a ton of products. Unlike most of their competitors, you can withdraw your earnings for actual cash, not limited to select gift cards.

Ibotta is the best!
August 27, 2021

I love using Ibotta! It's the easiest rebate app I've found to use! There's always free items to try and a lot of the free items I would have never tried before but ended up really liking them and buying them again!

Ibotta
August 23, 2021

I love the Ibotta app. I love making money by scanning receipts! At first I didn't understand it and I thought I wasn't going to make any money but my friend had it too and when she figured stuff out, she would let me know how to do something. So it worked out good knowing someone else could help me with it!

Fun with rewards
August 23, 2021

It's nice earning extra money on things I normally buy. It's also encouraged me to try things I've been interested in but wasn't for sure but figured if I earned cash back than it cut back on the risk. I'm not an extreme couponer or one to buy everything on there just because there's a reward, but I enjoy it and it adds a little more fun to grocery shopping.

The app is great for the offers. As a beginner, I dont find it to be very user friendly. I can take 10,000 photos of 1 receipt and it seems like it never goes through. Same thing for linking some of my grocery store accounts.
