Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Evaluating 1,289 reviews, most reviewers were somewhat happy with their experience overall. Many customers appreciate the app's ease of use and the convenience of replacing traditional coupons with digital rebates. They find it helpful for discovering new products and saving money on groceries and other purchases, often receiving their cash back without issues. Some also highlight the positive customer service experiences, where issues are resolved promptly. However, some people were dissatisfied with frequent problems in receiving their full cash back, with many reporting that offers were not correctly applied or that the system failed to recognize valid purchases.

A few other people also felt that the app can be stressful to use due to these inconsistencies and the need to constantly monitor transactions.

I was a little disappointed yesterday as I got 2 special k cereals and I couldn't get the money back because I got the family size, not the large size. They don't have the large size at Walmart! Pleas... See more

Ibotta almost always gets it right. Though I am still missing cash from the Clorox Bleach offer from 5-22-26, as my review of this purchase is still pending. Thank you for looking at it again!

I had several items that I purchased online- grocery pickup that I did not get my cash back. I do not get a paper receipt. My Walmart account is linked to my Ibotta. Your website is impossible to find where to add items that I bought and your app didn’t recognize. This is an ongoing problem I have been having

Almost every time

Almost every time. I check the offer and it’s good but I lose the extra bonus because you don’t count it then you give me grief and ask for copies over and over of receipts. It’s always a battle.

I have 2 items that

I have 2 items that , when the bar code is scanned, match the offer that I marked ahead of purchase, but they are not showing up in my list and will not give me credit for the purchase. It’s the kraft shredded cheese . I bought 2, but it has no “must buy” quantity listed.

Customer Support Stinks

I cannot verify my phone hence I cannot withdraw the funds. I have tried to receive a phone call as well as verify via text but keep getting an error message. The "help center" on the website also gives an error code. Why would anyone do this for free? Please help

Please give a clue/hint as to what item was missed.

It would be really nice if you could say what the item is that has a cash back or a clue as to what type of product it’s under. The item I brought which had a cash back on was nothing like what was available to choose from, I just guessed and scanned the bar code and it matched.

Ibotta is easy to use

Ibotta is easy to use! I've been able to save money and to try new products that I may not have tried due to a price I wasn't willing/able to pay without the offered cash back from Ibotta.

The few times my discount was not paid, Ibotta replied immediately and remedied the issue.

Great company to work with!

The company always gives $ back on useful products, products that I already use and products that could be useful based on my prior purchases. They give the $ back quickly and when you request the $ to be returned to ypu , that is quickly returned also. Great company to work with!

Watch your Dollar General purchases

Today was the second issue I've had with Dollar General not sending my receipts to Ibotta. I purchased what I had saved on my account, put my credentials in and double checked to make sure it was accepted due to the issue before with DG. All was fine except 10 hours later, my receipt has not been sent to Ibotta. Be careful shopping at DG, make sure your purchases are sent to your account.

False advertising of cash back

I purchased persil 84 oz laundry detergent and should have received $2.00, but you said my purchase was ineligible!!! I did purchase the product and I am very frustrated! I purchased the correct amount and correct size of product and still did not receive the $2.00. I think i will cash out and delete the app, too much work for no return !!!!!!!
