Here’s how it works:

Head over here and download the Ibotta app for FREE.

Before you head out to shop, browse through the different offers in the Product Gallery found after selecting a store. 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.

When you open Ibotta, you’ll see Ibotta Offers . Choose a product and complete one or more of the tasks for each offer. The more tasks you complete, the more pending cash you will add to your account. Unlock these earnings by purchasing the product in a selected store.

Once you have activated all of the items you intend to purchase, go shopping! Your offers will be added to your Pending list. Purchase your items at any of the over 50 retailers where Ibotta works. And, be sure to check your favorite stores to find exclusive offers that are only available at select stores. The expiration date for each offer can be found on both your Pending list and in the Ibotta Product 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.

Ibotta

Upon return from the store, select “Redeem” in the lower right-hand corner of the Ibotta Product Gallery. 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).

Ibotta will verify your purchases and send you cash within 24 hours. Depending on the store, there are two ways to verify purchases:

*If the store selected shows Redeem in the Product Gallery, take a picture of your receipt and follow the instructions.
*If the store is an Ibotta Preferred Partner, it’s even easier – choose Link Account and register your loyalty card or phone number. At checkout, use your loyalty card or phone number, and we’ll handle the rest!

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. Or, when you reach the required payout amount you can also redeem your earnings for gift cards! 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.

    We just spent $68 Monday night at Lowe’s for improvements on our rental house that our landlord allowed us to deduct from rent. This is AWESOME!! Just another $32 to go before we earn our $10 back.

  3. aaa

    My Ibotta app is frozen. Anyone is having similar issue. I emailed then with no answer.

    • Sarah

      I would try deleting it and reinstalling. You won’t lose your info because you will have to sign in again. HTH!

  4. Lauren

    Does anyone know if the purchase of gift cards at Lowe’s will count toward the $100?

  5. Moe

    I purchased a carpet cleaner last week and got my $10! Love the new home improvement additions as well as the gift cards that you can get now like Starbucks, Redbox and iTunes! I love the ibotta app! Getting that $10 also unlocked a birthday bash bonus for me for $2 if I redeem 5 more offers by the 20th of Nov

  6. linda

    Anyone know if I can submit a receipt from a purchase last Sunday? I wasn’t sure if the date has to be after the time the offer is added. Thanks

    • Mer

      Probably. I submitted a receipt from Wednesday and it worked. If it doesn’t, you won’t lose anything

  7. Moe

    I Just received my $10 home improvement offer back last week we purchased a carpet cleaner! I love ibotta and all the new additions like restaurants, Starbucks, Redbox and iTunes giftcards! I love ibotta!

    Thank you

    I have not yet joined ibotta, but was planning to do so very soon. I just made a big purchase at Home Depot yesterday. Do you think I can join ibotta today and make use of this offer with yesterday’s receipt. Please help me answer.

    • Katie

      I’d say you could. I remember when I joined, I looked through the offers and found the exact tortillas I bought a couple days before. I tried it, and I got credit for them! If you don’t mind, I’d love it if you used my link. I only need one more referral for my Chatty Cathy bonus! https://ibotta.com/r/WcLsAg thanks!

  11. Diane Hart

    I absolutely love Ibotta! I have saved almost $100 since I started using Ibotta. If anyone still needs to sign up, my link is https://ibotta/r/yFV3Q and I would really appreciate it!! By signing up through anyone’s referral, you will get a special $10 bonus welcome offer.

    Thank you and happy Friday! 🙂

    anyone actually receive the $5 HD coupon? I did this a lil bit ago & never even got it. :/

    • Katie

      I got mine within minutes. I think it was in my junk folder.

      • dealhousewife

        lucky u… mine’s nowhere to be found… :/ I even tried a second email and nothing.

  13. Laura

    I was submitted a receipt for a refrigerator I purchased on 10/23 and it was accepted.

  14. Andi

    can you spend 100 at home depot get $10 and also at lowes and get $10 or is it just one $10 total? Hope that makes sense. We have some things to get at both so I could get the $20 if they let you do both.

    • Emily

      I’m guessing you can do only one…does anyone know the answer to this for sure?

  15. Sarah

    Okay, how do I upload a receipt with the new update? I went to Food Lion today to grab some basics and didn’t see that I could sync my card until after I shopped. I can only find a place to add my card number, not a receipt. I have tried the help section, etc. nothing on it. Any help would be appreciated!

    • NolaGirl

      Tap the dropdown tab on the left Grocery, then select Food Lion. enter your card number or scan the bar code. The card should sync and validate qualifying purchases. If that doesn’t work contact Ibotta on their FB page. I’ve always had luck with that.

    I don’t know anything about Ibotta. Can anyone tell me if you can download the app to a Kindle Fire? I don’t have an iphone or ipad. Thanks!

  17. Brandeeabbott

    How does the Home Depot and lowes work? Do you have to scan barcodes on the products or just submit the receipts? Thanks in advance!

  18. amal

    does anyone know if this offer is available for everyone? i clicked on the home improvement and it says out of stock?

  19. Tina

    When I went to check this it says out of stock now. I was going to head out to home depot, but now I’m disappointed.

    • DrLadybug

      Same here – no offer. I am livid! Why so few offers? I dare say that they should not offer at all unless they can handle the crowd – as though they didn’t learn this lesson already from the awful Pick up the Values debacle in September….

      • dealhousewife

        my thoughts exactly!! 🙁 it lasted what, a whole day??

  20. Linda

    Crap! I just drove to Lowes to scan the UPC for the item I bought Sunday because I threw the box out. Stop my car, go to scan my receipt before I walk in and the offer is gone. Argh!!!

  21. aaa

    I had the offer and while looking for receipt it disappeared.

  22. Jess

    Totally Lame! Gone Really?

  23. amal

    the offer is back!!!! hurry!

  24. Liz

    How do you get the offer? I can’t find it anywhere.

  25. Eden

    I can’t find it either.

    • Darlene H

      I can’t get my receipt to scan from my iphone 5. Do I need to install another app or what? thanks
