Ibotta App: Earn $0.50 Cash Back w/ Soda 12 Pack Purchase, $25 w/ Appliance Purchase at Best Buy + More
Calling all Ibotta app users!
If you’re planning to purchase a 12 pack of soda in the next few days, why not earn some extra cash?! Through December 22nd, Ibotta App users can earn $0.50 cash with purchase of a Soda 12 pack of 12 oz. cans (any brand!).
And if you’ll be doing any appliance shopping, take note if this offer! Ibotta is currently offering up $25 cash when you purchase an LG Major Appliance at your local Best Buy store!
Planning to see the movies Anchorman 2 or Walking with Dinosaurs anytime soon?! You can also earn $1 cash from Ibotta when you watch either of these movies at an AMC, Regal, United Artists or Edwards Theatres.
IMPORTANT: To verify the movie ticket redemption so you earn your cash from Ibotta, you will need to take a picture of the ticket stub which must be generated at the Box Office or theater kiosk. The ticket stub is the portion that the ticket taker hands back to you for entrance into the movie and includes the name of the movie, time and date of showing, price of ticket paid, and auditorium number. Printed receipts from ticket purchase, electronic tickets, or print at home tickets will not be accepted.

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.
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.
I’ve tried Ibotta and my husbands phone quit scanning one day. So I went out and bought an android tablet front and back camera it worked the fist scan and now it wont scan the product again. So its not our devices, am I doing something wrong. Any advice I would be grateful.
Are you saying it will scan when you check to see if the product matches offer but won’t let you scan after you’ve scanned your receipt to verify you bought it? I’ve not had that happen I hope someone can help. I have found ibotta’s customer service helpful. I didn’t know they had ibotta on android. In the help section on the app they have a section for android issues. Maybe that could help.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 and no problems with scanning. I do find that the scanner catches when I’m in good light. Sometimes I’ll try to scan in the kitchen, and I have a solar light, so on overcast/cloudy days I can’t get it to scan unless I have the overhead lights on.
IDK what else could be the issue. Maybe contact CS, they are very good at trouble shooting.
I love this app. I’ve had it three or four months and have earned 45 dollars. I mostly only buy food offers and make sure to do the bonuses. And I have no referrals to have boosted my lifetime earnings.
I always check the app when I walk into Kroger. Grabbed som Big K for my son’s party at school. I love cashing in my ibotta for Starbucks.
As a heads up, I did the soda deal last night at CVS using my free 12 pack coupon from My Coke Rewards. I bought Diet Coke, but the UPC wouldn’t work. I swapped it out for a regular Coke 12 pack I had which worked. I guess be careful of this deal if you plan to buy Diet Coke. I don’t know why diet soda doesn’t work….
I also noticed that Panera was added to the restaurants. Does anyone know if the purchase of a gift card would count toward the total for the ibotta rebate? My sister loves Panera and I was thinking of buying her a gift card (and a bagel for myself – some of the bagels at Panera are just like eating candy they are so good!).
If anyone still needs to sign up for a new ibotta account, please use my referral link below to receive $10 worth of welcome bonuses. Many, many, many thanks to anyone who does! 🙂
