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.

What's not to love.
May 16, 2025
Updated review

I do not watch TV so apps like Ibotta have the products that I test out because I basically get a discount on them. I have found so many new products on Ibotta that I now get every time I go to the store.

Never a problem

Previous review

Apps like Ibotta are rare. Sure all of them tell you that you can get money for jumping through hoop A, B and C but mainly never come through or you find out then you have to go through to Z. Ibotta isn't like that. They have the products on their app and if you get any of those products you get money back. It's that simple. It is really easy to make sure you have the right product because the app also can scan the upc code and tell you if it is the right one. Also, they also have the category any brand such as trash bags so then it doesn't matter which brand of trash bags you get you still get money back. They also have any receipt which means buy anything get money back. Thanksgiving must be their favorite holiday because they give away free food. I got a free turkey from them 2 years ago. How that worked is I went into my local Walmart and bought a turkey. They then reimbursed me for 100% of the cost. And that is only one of the many items they did that for. I will finish this by saying remember how I told you that there are some apps that give you money for jumping through hoop A, B and C? Well Ibotta is like that except there is no B and C and with A rather than jumping through a hoop it is more like walking over a piece of string placed on the ground in front of you.

I submitted a ticket to the Ibotta team for a missing offer over the weekend, fully expecting it to wait until Monday. Nope. This lightning fast team had the issue resolved before I went to sleep that night. The team member was friendly and helpful. Exactly the kind of customer service Ibotta is known for. 15/10.

Excellent Customer Service
May 15, 2025

I just want to send some kudos out to Ibotta! They were of tremendous help to me. I had an issue with a coupon and they more than helped me get that straightened out. They also helped me understand more about how the coupon redemption works. So I have more knowledge and also a redemption that I thought I would not be able to get. The people I interacted, with through emails, were amazing. They were VERY friendly and so willing to get my issue solved in the best manner. I feel so relieved and also, got my coupon redeemed. They made this so easy and not stressful at all. Thank you Ibotta. You guys are the best and you have excellence and integrity.

Great App!
May 15, 2025

Checked Ibotta before I went to the grocery store to make sure which available offers I wished to use. I'm able to verify products while in the store. Once home, scan the receipt and by the next day money in my account.

Great service
May 14, 2025

So, I've been using Ibotta for several years and I love it! I had a slight problem with missing cash. I emailed the team and received an email back and explained to me the situation and why it was missing. It was my own fault and nothing to do with Ibotta, but they added the money to my account. They didn't have to buy it was thoughtful that they did.

I had a couple of rebates that didn't go through as they should. My store is in the process of changing their cash register receipt program, which probably led to the problem. The Ibotta team was quick to respond and get all of my issues resolved quickly. Excellent program and service!
