Here’s how it works:

Head over here and download the Ibotta app for FREE.

Before you head out to shop, browse through all the different offers. You’ll earn money by watching quick videos, viewing recipes, taking polls, posting to your Facebook Wall etc. AND then actually going to the store to purchase these specific items. Note that Ibotta works in every Rite Aid, CVS, Target, Walmart, Walgreens, and over 50 other retailers in the United States and has plans to expand to even more retailers in the near future. The awesome part for all of us couponers, is that in addition to getting cash back on your purchases, you can also use manufacturer’s coupons to lower your out of pocket expense.


Once you have activated all of the items you intend to purchase, go shopping! The expiration date for each offer can be found on both your Checklist and in the Ibotta Product Gallery and Store Extras Gallery (tap on the item to reveal the expiration date). Additionally, if an offer is less than 5 days away from expiring, an “expiring” flag will be displayed and expiration date for those items as well.

Also note that you can receive Ibotta Product Offers that are exclusively available at specific retailers called Store Extras. From the Main Menu of the app, tap “Store Extras” to reveal all of the retail specific offers available to you to earn additional cash.


Upon return from the store, select “Redeem” in the lower right-hand corner of the Ibotta Product Gallery. From here, select the retailer you have purchased your items from. Read the tips, then select “Continue” at the bottom of the page. (Don’t forget to upload the entire receipt including the logo, date and total).

After uploading the receipt, check and barcode scan each item on the receipt available for redemption (Note: for iPod 4th generation and iPad2 users, you will not be prompted to barcode scan). Once submitted, your receipt is now on it’s way for review, and most receipts will receive credit within 24 hours!

Once you’ve reached at least $5 in earnings, Ibotta lets you transfer your earnings directly to your PayPal account. Choose Withdraw Cash from the main menu of the app, then select Get My Cash to link Ibotta to your PayPal account. How awesome is that?!

Be sure to tell Ibotta which offers you like and dislike by tapping the image of any product and choosing either thumbs-up or thumbs-down. Over time the app learns what kinds of products you prefer and offers them accordingly.

Also note that there is no limit on the number of offers you can redeem. Once you have successfully redeemed an offer, Ibotta immediately restocks your shelf with a new offer. The more offers you redeem, the more new offers you will see, and the more money you can earn.

    I love this app

  2. Jessica

    If any new users sing up could you please use my referal link? Thank you sooooooo much (: https://ibotta.com/r/TXag

    It’s sad. I’ve tried to tell multiple people about this app (or couponing in general) and they are just not interested. You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make them drink.

    • jiggi

      I am a serious couponer,but man this is a lot of hooplas one have to go thru to redeem little bit of cash. they should make it more user friendly.

      • Erica Hart

        Also, Liebotta has the worst customer service and is constantly reneging on their “offers”! I bought a perfect qualifying item and it took over two weeks and 20 sent emails to finally have them put the CORRECT barcode into THEIR system and credit me MY money owed!

  4. holly

    I’m still mad at them about that bonus offer they took out from under me. I had to return $50 of stuff back to Walmart and customer service was less than thrilled.

  5. Crystal

    I’m new at using the app. How do you activate the item? I’ve viewed a couple items and done the mini-quests, but I’m not sure if this is all I have to do. Help? Thank you in advance.

    • mel

      To get reimbursed, you need to buy the item. Once you do that, click “Redeem” on the app (its the 3 lines on the left side), choose the store, uload the receipt (by taking a photo) and scanning in the UPC.

      • Crystal

        Is it possible to buy the item, then go back to the app and activate it before you add your receipt?

        • Camille

          Absolutely. I only do the activities after I buy something so I don’t waste time. You also don’t have to do all the activities (I know some people don’t like to post to Facebook) but obviously, you get more money back if you do.

          • Crystal

            Thank y’all so much for the help! My husband will love that my shopping habit will earn us some money back!

          • Felicia

            …actually, you CAN post to FB and have the settings be ‘only you’ so that no one else sees on your wall or in their newsfeed. I typically go into my FB account within minutes and delete the post all together. Ibotta said there’s no time limit…so yay for that.

  6. Jen

    I love this app. If you would please sign up under me I would really appreciate it.

    • Julie

      I’ve made over $100 too, I know some people have problems with it but its been nothing but great for me!!

      • Bella

        Most of the items are things I need or was going to buy anyway so it is a great way to get free or cheaper items! Glad that others have had a success with Ibotta!!

    Please and thank you!!

  12. Vanessa Al-Hanna

    I have all my apps on my tablet not my phone and I don’t take my tablet out with me. Can I load all these deals, go shopping and then take pics of my receipt when I get home OR do I have to have the app running (tablet with me) when I make my purchases?

    • Catie

      You can scan your receipt at home–that’s what I do.

    • Linda

      I process the receipt and scan the products once I get home. I only use my phone to view the products to ensure I have met the product requirements before purchasing. But if you write down the product requirements before going shopping, you shouldn’t need the tablet.

      • Vanessa Al-Hanna

        Thank you both so much!!

    • Aimee

      You wont need your tablet at the store, but it does help to verify that you’re buying the correct item by scanning the bar code on the product to make sure it matches that offer. If you’re absolutely certain you’re buying the correct product (some have strict size, color/scent/flavor restrictions), you can wait till you get home to process your claim. I usually like to process my claim as soon as I get to my car; 9 times out of 10, my money would be credited to my account by the time I get home! 🙂 I hope that helps!

  13. Jessie

    I am soooo close to getting a referal bonus, can you guys help me out and use my link? https://ibotta.com/r/TXag
    Thanks!!! 😀

  14. shalini

    I haven’t signed up yet, before I do I want to know if the offers that Collin highlighted like pediasure and tropicana will be available to a new user? I buy those two items regularly. TIA

    • Jess

      Are New Offers That Just Became Available So You Will Get Them! Keep In Mind Each Offer Can Only Be Redeemed Once. https://ibotta.com/r/2ya4Q

      • shalini

        Thank u Jess.. I also want to know if both my husband and I sign up, can we get cashback for both our phones and can we transfer the money to a single paypal account or do we need separate paypal accounts for each phone?

        • Jess

          You Can Both Receive Cash Back, But Would Have To Make Separate Purchases. You Cannot Submit The Same Receipt. I Want To Say You WillNeed Separate Paypal Accounts But I’m Not Totally Positive On That Part.

        • Laura

          You can have 2 Ibotta accounts linked to 1 Paypal account. My sis linked her Ibotta to my Paypal. HTH 🙂

          • shalini

            Thank you Jess and Laura. You guys are awesome.

            I will sign up with your link Jess.

            • Jess

              Thank You So Much! Good Luck. I Love Ibotta!!!

  15. liz

    I have had an issue with them on the last big Wal-Mart bonus as well. I had entered all of my first purchase and went to put in my second and I couldn’t do it. I contacted customer service twice, only received one message back saying they were catching up from labor day! Haven’t heard at all from second attempt. I had already started the deal and was before the expiration date. I too am stuck with products that I over paid for. It is disappointing.

    • Jane

      You may want to just take the items back to the store. Unless you email Liebotta 20 or more times, they will do nothing to help you.

      And as for everyone talking about please use my link so we can all get referral bonuses, please watch out – there are reports all over FB and the web that these “bonuses” are not working.

      • catherine

        that happened to me once, they did give me thefirst friend bonus because they saw that the person had signed up but now i am thinkinghow many have signed up that ppl are not getting credit for i asked customer service about that, no answer

        • Sally

          Yeah. Liebotta doesn’t answer anyone who isn’t tripping over themselves with praise for the company. That’s why I cashed out, deleted the app, then sent an email to privacy@ibotta.com to remove all my information from my database. They replied that they did, then two days later their newsletter arrives in my email. Um, huh? Lie-botta much?

  16. Sarah
