Thanks for making us aware that ibotta is not a scam. I’ve been looking for some other ways to make money and this looks like it might be a contender. However it doesn’t seem like a lot of money for the effort, what is your experience? If you were working on this full-time what do you think the earning potential is? By comparison, have you looked at any other schemes like this and what was your thoughts? Is this the best out of them?
Hey Brendan
Thanks for reading my Ibotta Review. Really it’s not much effort at all. Spend 5 minutes at the end of every shopping trip and you’ll get cash back through the app. There’s not really any way to work at this full time. You have to have receipts after purchasing something so the only time this works is after you’ve been shopping.
I’ve been using the app for a year or so and have made right around $500 from referring a few friends, but mainly getting cash back for my shopping. Like I said it’s just extra income and it’s not a full time type of work. Just spend a few minutes scanning your receipt after you shop and you’ll earn cash!
Hope this helps,
Brok

I have been using ibotta- It’s a nice app to earn couple of extra bucks . Here is my referral link- feel free to join-
I am fairly new to Ibotta. At first, I really like it, however, recently I submitted a receipt that would give me the first payout and it was rejected as it was “unreadable.” I was asked to resubmit the receipt through the app and when I went in to do it, all the applicable rebates were gone. Hopefully, this will get resolved but I am feeling like I got ripped off and am now questioning whether this app is legitimate…. and not a scam.
Very sorry to hear that Carra! I can tell you from experience that Ibotta is not a scam, but of course, that’s not a good experience to have. You might want to contact support to see if they can help in any way. If you have any additional questions or experiences please keep on sharing.

Check out Ibotta to get cash back! Use my referral code, rtcoslw, and you can earn an extra $10. Sign up at https://ibotta.com/r/rtcoslw
I tried to get into to Ibotta but I ended up being too lazy to use it.
I think the first couple times I had issues uploading the pictures of the receipts, I don’t remember a bar code option.
Maybe the app has gotten better since then. I will have to give it another shot with your referral code!
Thank you for reading my Ibotta Review Jeremy. I’m not sure how long ago you used the app, but I’ve been using it for a few years now and they’ve made some major improvements. One thing to note on the barcode, some stores don’t have them, but most do. If they do it only takes a second to take the picture.
Hopefully the review helps you get back to saving, but I understand sometimes it’s difficult to take the time to earn a few bucks here and there.

As of this morning I’m feeling like this is a scam. I cant remember my password due to not using the app in awhile & it wont let me change my email without it so that I can get the password reset link due to being locked out of my email that i signed up with. If i loose out on the $ ive earned for having to make a new account im gonna be even more upset. My app is linked to my facebook with the email im wanting to use anyway, but the app is not letting me edit profile cause i cant remember my password & i cant recieve the reset link. They also have NO way to contact them by phone! Legimate companies have phone, email, the whole shabang to reach them for account issues!
I finally got over $20 in rebates so I wanted to cash out. The app said it was sending an email to confirm my account but the email never came. Tried it twice now. I checked spam and junk mail.
Hey Sylvia,
If you’re having issues I’d contact the support team.
I’m not much help because I’m not part of the company.

I highly recommend Ibotta I’ve made $167 in just over a month since I started, super easy just click on my link and you’ll get $10 just for signing up, then you can deposit in your PayPal or other sources https://ibotta.com/r/qfnhtmg
Emailed received today from ibotta that I must reactivate their app to extend it or they will begin to charge me $3.99 per month! I had deleted the app from my devices within a very short time without having received any rebates on what I had bought. Now, tried to login in to account to review any activity and my information does not match what they have. I write down every website/password where and when I sign up so this doesn’t make sense. Contacting them to stop their extortionist method.
I have yet to see a SINGLE comment from someone stating the app works and is not a scam, except for those saying, “click this link…” which is just more advertisement… lol
Anyone ACTUALLY use this app and receive their payout? PS: Your comment doesn’t count if it includes another advertisement..
To the blog writer, did you receive any gifts, cash, or promotion codes for writing this blog? 🙂 It will be hard to believe your response and frankly, it’s hard to believe your blog post itself is unbiased since you already included advertisement in your review.
I did not receive any gifts, cash, or promotion codes for writing this review, but I do use the app and take advantage of their referral program. If you choose to enter my referral code when you join there is a chance I’ll receive compensation.
With that being said, I’ve used the app for several years now and have been paid, which I included in the review. The apps I recommend on this blog are ones that I use and have been paid by so I know they’re legitimate.
I appreciate you taking the time to read and leave a comment.

Not really worth the trouble. By “trouble”, I mean trying to make sure you purchase the EXACT product listed by Ibotta.
Their rebate choices are limited and quite often, the barcodes don’t match and your rebate request will be rejected.
A nice way to get back a few bucks but not worth jumping through hoops for. For example, they suddenly dropped Uber ($1.00 rebate per ride) and just as quickly it came back.
Many of the items eligible for rebates are already over-priced so the savings are an illusion.
Use it if / when you think about it but don’t go out of your way to use it.
I’ve been using Ibotta for a while now – since March 2017 – and so far my total savings are $224.66. Now this may not seem like alot, but I only shop for myself and my husband. For someone with a family/kids to shop for I’m sure they save alot more. I love taking my earnings and putting it towards whatever vacation is coming up. Right now is a good time to join because they added tons of store bonuses which is great for holiday shopping.
If you’re thinking of trying out the app, feel free to use my referral code to get $10 back with your first receipt cash-in! Use code HLFVYLU when you join. Hope you like the app as much as I do! As a team we can work towards monthly bonuses as well 🙂
I had used the app for several weeks and accumulated 107$ in cash back, including some referral bonuses. I had uploaded my receipts and had scanned all the bar codes properly. The app had said that all my purchases and bonuses had been verified.
I verified my account and set up the withdrawal process through my PayPal.
Now, Ibotta has locked me out of my account and is not allowing me to withdraw my money.
If I had been the first person to make a complaint, I could believe this was a one-off technical incident. Instead, it seems like this is an unethical tactic that the company typically uses to prevent people from getting the money they have earned.
The company has not responded to my emails, and hopefully this will get their attention.
I am extremely disappointed and unless I hear from Ibotta soon I will stop referring people to the app and refrain from using it.
I am disgusted at this reoccurring scam being ran by this company.
If you’re reading this trying to decide if this app is for you, IT IS!!! I am not the coupon type but this app is just too easy to use and put $$$ back in your pocket…I have made over $100 in my 1st week with just redeeming offers and referring to my friends and family. If you want to start making your $ use referral code: tfesumo when signing up and receive $10 after redeeming your 1st offer. ITS FREE $$$!!!
