Video: How to Earn Cash Using the Ibotta App
In this video, I will show you how easy it is to earn money using the completely FREE Ibotta App for both iPhone and Android Devices. Enjoy!

(If you can’t see the video, go here.)
Here’s a summary on how to earn money via the Ibotta App:
Head over here and download the Ibotta app for FREE (note that this app requires iOS 10.0 or later and is compatible with iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch).
Before you head out to shop, browse through all the different product offers. To earn cash, you’ll need to purchase these products… BUT FIRST, you’ll have to unlock these money-earning offers 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 at over 100,000 locations and at over 80 different retailers (like Target, Walmart, Walgreens, Rite Aid and many more stores!) in the United States. 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 even further! 🙂
Be sure to check out the product detail page on the app itself in order to view the offer’s details including the size you’ll need to purchase, expiration date etc. Once you unlock a rebate, the expiration date can be found on both your checklist and in the Ibotta Product Gallery (tap on the item to reveal the expiration date). Once a product is on the Checklist, Ibotta ensures that the expiration date of a product will not change.
Please note that all qualifying receipts must be submitted before the product rebates expire AND receipt submissions are only accepted as valid if submitted within one week of purchase.
After you make your in-store purchases, you’ll just need to upload your receipt via the Ibotta app. Ibotta will then verify your purchases and determine whether credit should be added to your account within 24 hours. In many cases, you will receive word from Ibotta in under 1 hour. It is super simple to upload your photo and money was added to my account within an hour. Very cool!
Once you’ve reached at least $20 in earnings, Ibotta lets you transfer funds to PayPal/Venmo; and once funds are withdrawn from the app, you should expect to see payment within 24 hours. You can also take advantage of other options, like gift cards from Amazon, Starbucks, Kohl’s, and more.
I cashed out using Paypal and got the funds deposited in my account almost instantly. Just one of a couple reasons why I love this app!
I didn’t have to scan my receipt, just the barcodes of the items purchased. Has it changed?
You scan the item first now and after it asks for the receipt. You have to go on the redeem tabs now. HTH!
You still need to scan receipts through Ibotta, though they did slightly change the process. Go to your toolbar on the bottom of the app and click “activity.” It will tell you if you have any receipts pending. If not, then you didn’t submit it. You will first have to scan the barcode. Once it is verified, then you scan the receipt and upload it.
I just did an ibotta and I had to upload my receipt. Not sure how they can credit if they can’t verity the purchase??
Gosh, I LOVE cash back apps. I just got $2 for buying two Barbara’s cereals, and I only paid .30 OOP! I still have some high-value Barbaras Qs, so I’m hoping they will offer some more Barbara’s rebates before they expire.

Did the milk bonus reset this week? It does not show for me. Also I looked in to Shopium a couple weeks ago. Did not sign up yet, the reviews were not in English and it seemed it was a foreign app. Curious about anyone’s experience with them????
Often my milk offer doesn’t reset until closer to the middle of the week. Hth
I think it popped up on Monday last week, but in previous weeks, it was Tuesday or Wednesday.
Yes, it reset.

That is good to know, I thought it was linked to a debit card and I was kinda worried about giving that info. I like that it goes to paypal. Thanks for the info!!!
Still figuring out ibotta. If set up a paypal account do you get actual cash back or do you need to use credit to buy things ie on ebay?
How can I get my Winn Dixie and cvs purchases in they on list but not in section to redeem on my ipad2
I would love if someone will use my referral link : https://ibotta.com/r/ijijjz. Thank you so much.
Can you use the same receipt to claim ibotta rebates on multiple phones? For example, can I use the same receipt to claim the same ibotta offer on my phone and my husband’s phone? I’ve tried to find the answer but can’t get anything definitive. I’d appreciate any imput…thanks!
Hi heather,
you can not use a single recepit two times for the same item to get cash back on different devices. And also if you hav e multiple items in a single recepit, claim all in once.
Hope u got it.
bye
enjoy the app. 🙂

Thanks 🙂
I would like to be an ibotta team member. My facebook id is Rachel Coupo. My ibotta id is https://ibotta.com/duajnev. I’m new to ibotta, but I’ve earned about $5 in my first two weeks! It’s great! I don’t know how to add team members, but I’d really like to. Do you know how? Thanks!
Does anyone know if you can have two Ibotta accounts per household? Like if I have one on my phone and my hubby has an account on his? I wouldn’t use it to scan the same things, but if I wanted to do the deal twice (like the Transformers deal with the Target BOGO deal this week 9/21).
Nicolebradley – I have 2 account one for my wife and one for me since the first of Aug we have made over 250.00. The trick is to have 2 receipt. Example I went today and buy 4 glade candles. They were on sale at walmart for 2.00 each. Before cp 8.00. had 1.00 off on each candle 1.00 off 2 on ibotta and 1.OO off checkout 51. oop was free. I did separate transaction. So everything was doubled. plus my wife and I are on each others team so week get double the credit for the monthly bonus.
Do you have to have 2 devices to be able to have 2 accounts?
Ibotta and checkout 51 tip:
1. When you are walking into a store look for receipts on the ground. I make extra 20 – 40 dollars a month doing this. If you find a receipt that has an ibotta item, just scan the item in the store and then take a picture of the receipt you found.
2 Checkout 51 – when buying the fruit and vegs – if the item is sold by the pound like bananas just buy one. It will cost about .12 and 51 will give you .25 .. 13mm
3. Save your receipts. Example this week I bought glade melt on the 29 Sept and when Ibotta loaded new product on the the 1st glade was one of the items.
4. Resturants and appeal. Ask the manager for receipts. take a pic in the store and you are done. Free money
It’s a free & Great app that pays you cash for buying your favorite products. It’s really helped to save a good bit of money through Gift cards, direct PAYPAL deposit .
