I've had a really great experience using Ibotta! It's incredibly easy to browse through offers and find deals on things I'm already buying. The app is well organized, so you can quickly see what's available without wasting time.

What I love most is how simple it is to redeem offers and earn rewards. Just scan your receipt or link your account, and the cash back adds up fast. Redeeming for gift cards or transferring your earnings is quick and hassle-free.

Good company
March 31, 2026

Ibotta is a good company to deal with, I didn't realize I purchased a item that offered cash back & Ibotta notified me so I could claim my reward.

Best couponing app out there
March 31, 2026

This is the simplest most financially rewarding coupon app out there, we love it. If there's ever an issue you just contact the ibotta care team and they hook you up without any push back. We've tried other couponing apps and there not worth the time and work with as little a you get rewarded back and the extreme amount of work you have to put in. Ibotta is our #1 stop to savings shop

Missing cash back resolved
March 29, 2026

Cash back only given to 1 item on my receipt, should have been 2. Contacted Cust Svc and they resolved the error and credited me the right amount quickly (within 4 hours)! Very satisfied.

I was unable to withdraw money from my account. A couple of days later, I received an email saying that everything had been fixed. The employee was polite and resolved my problem.

The chat box is useless. Kept asking me the same question over and over and accomplished nothing. I purchased 4 cups of the remix oikos yogurt which the clerk had to manually enter because they had been reduced. They show up as dairy on my receipt. I scanned all the barcodes and they were accepted and then rejected. Missing four offers at $. 35 each or $1.40.
I also purchased six of the 10 pack polar seltzer product. It did not scan, even though I purchased exactly the item shown in the offer. Limit of five offers - missing $2.50 back

Items rejected for cash back
March 27, 2026

3 boxes of Mom's Best cereal were rejected because your software says I've already submitted it. I purchased the 3 items yesterday 3/16/2026 from Kroger and submitted the receipt today 3/17/2026. Not sure how I could have already submitted the offer when I just got them.

No rebate for sumo
March 26, 2026

I submitted for 50 cent rebate for 1 Sumo orange. I did not receive it but I can not resubmit because the orange no longer has a sticker with a code to scan. I tried to deal with it thru the chat feature but cannot give specifics through chat which was frustrating.

Love Ibotta!
March 26, 2026

I've been using Ibotta for years and am always happy when I hit that Redeem button. You've done a great job. My only complaint, some of the items on the site, the stores don't carry. This happens quite often, and they are usually items I'd love to try.

Helpful agent. Appreciate her
March 25, 2026

I had a wonderful experience with the Ibotta customer service agent, Claudia. She was very helpful, friendly, and responded promptly to my concern. Most importantly, she resolved my issue efficiently, which I truly appreciate. I would be very happy to have Claudia assist me again in the future if I ever encounter another problem with my account. Thank you for the excellent support! ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ‘

I will scan an item and it says eligible offer and then when I submit receipt, Ibotta says ineligible offer. The pending receipts take so long to process.

App not recognizing product
March 22, 2026

Up until a month ago my rating would've been 4.75 stars. I started having glitches where the program was not catching products. In the past this issue has been poor internet due to my rural location.

Now it's all the time. I live too far away to mess with it. If it doesnt read the receipt in the parking lot then its not worth it since it now costs me over $9 for the round-trip.

I still recommend the app with the caveat YMMV.

Missing credits
March 19, 2026

I usually have my grocery receipt automatically submitted to Ibotta. This time it was not.
After much going back and forth with support, I finally got my credit.
I am grateful that the team strayed with me on this. I wasn't giving up and neither did they.
I wish I knew why this problem occurred so I could maybe prevent it in the future. My thanks goes out to all who helped!
Thanks,
Vslate

Unhappy customer

I'm very disappointed in this app Ibotta! I've bought so many things required to get cash back and this app doesn't accept it! I will not be telling my friends and family to sign up because it's very frustrating!

Best app on my phone
March 15, 2026

The customer service you get from this app is not even comparable to the non existent customer service departments you get from 99%ยฎof the apps out there. If u have any kind of issue and email them u typically get a response within an hour. Sometimes a little longer. But they always get back to u and do watever they can to resolve ur issue. Every rep I have dealt with has gone above and beyond to help me fix things that more times then not were my fault... But they fixed them anyways.they r polite and friendly and I don't have one negative thing to say about this app. If I had to delete every app on my phone and could only keep 3 this would be one..
