The company enjoys a generally positive reputation among users who appreciate its ease of use and significant savings potential.

Search trouble

This morning I checked the site before going shopping. I saw peanuts so I put those on my shopping list. When I was shopping, I couldn't find the peanuts on the site? I bought them anyway. Somehow, I got money back. Very confusing. But other than that I love it!

Great feesback
February 8, 2026

I had an issue where I uploaded a printed receipt and the app took the receipt and scanned my item offers but when it came time to get the cash, the money was rejected due to the receipt being on a printed paper and not a regular receipt. I reached out to ibotta to let them know that the store (kroger)in which I picked up my order from no longer gives out paper receipts for pickup orders. And i can't connect my kroger account to ibotta either. The store refused to give me a print out when I went in and asked for one also. I told ibotta team I'd have to return everything in the store and rebuy it just to get a print out. The ibotta team looked over my receipt and the offers I didn't get credited for and they went ahead issued a credit to my ibotta account. I truly appreciate their understanding and the credit and I hope they'll start allowing printed out receipts from stores that refuse to give one. They saved me a trip to the store and the return hassle. Thank you

Missing Rebates
February 7, 2026

Any time that I experience an issue with missing rebates or items not scanning correctly, I send a message to customer service and they are always willing to help by correcting the problem. Sometimes it can be a little confusing trying to explain what's going on but overall, the solution is fixed in a timely manner.

I purchased Cetaphil as you advertised a rebate at Costco. The packaged contained a 20 oz and a 16 oz. No credit was allowed, stating it couldn't match barcode. So because Costco offered a special, I dont get your offer? Done with your gimmicks!

My app logged me out and I spent days trying to get back in using Facebook as always. I was getting very upset. The careteam here was able to direct me to the correct place on FB to remove the info from them and finally log in using a password. The app is working again and I am very happy to be logged in with all my info and history intact.

I love using the Ibotta app while shopping. It's so easy to just scan the barcode and see what offers are available. If you thought you were already getting a good deal, Ibotta makes it even sweeter! I have saved almost $4k since using the Ibotta app, which expands my spending budget to try more products and find the ones that I love using. Thank you!

A Wonderful App
February 3, 2026

Ibotta is a wonderful app. Just enter the stores you shop most, look for the products on your shopping list and specials that you may want to try even when they are not on your list and start saving. I have saved about $50 so far in a few months.

I was looking through the Publix app and clicked on 3 items that were in it. Bitters and 2 Chomps. I didn't think that I would have to look further into the offers as they were clearly listed in the Publix app, however when I submitted my receipt I only got reimbursed for the bitters and not the Chomps as that offer was only available at certain stores (Publix not being one of them). If an offer is not available at a store, it should not be listed on their app.
