Arcade
The arcade option is beyond stupid. Would not recommend. It’ll allow you to get the first few payouts which are minimal (a few cents) but when you start getting the achievements that pay out a little more (a couple dollars so still not much) it won’t give them to you. When you contact support, they’ll just say you violated some rule but won’t tell you what rule or how and that you can’t get the “reward”. Total waste of time.

Issues Contacting Ibotta
Overall this app is great to help save money - but the ISSUE I run into is the difficulty sending a help ticket. In the beginning it was easy, but over the years it has been like trying to find a needle in a haystack. Very difficult. I spent over 30 minutes just trying to send a request because I found an item I purchase often wasn’t linked to a store for redemption. Scrolling through the offer I didn’t see a link to HEB, Target, CVS or even Walmart. I clicked submit a ticket but kept getting thrown to the AI help “Carlotta” and it was no help at all. Even a simple request to “Send link to submit new help ticket” was an issue. I get that they want to reduce calling in - but send a help ticket shouldn’t be so hard.

Never gave me rewards
I have $41 and every time I got to get my money out they says it’s an error or lock my account. There is no customer service number. The AI chat makes no sense. I would confidently say this is a scam. I would assume the 5 star reviews are all from bots. Please don’t waste your time.
It’s ok until you have a issue
It’s ok until you have an issue. It’s challenging to get to customer service, you have a go through a bot first. The customer service department is clearly trained to not solve the issue and instead make the customer feel like they didn’t follow the rules even though you did.
Not worth it
Everytime they offer a bonus like the mid week bonus they do not recognize your earnings just that you miss the bonus. And the costumer service is just sending you the same automated message over and over again.
Horrible Scam
I was thinking this app was going to be an awesome way to earn extra cash with the economy in such a bad spot, but I was wrong! For several weeks I was submitting all my receipts plus the receipts all my family and friends would give me. Once I reached about $60 i tried to cash out just for them to deny it and close my account. They didn’t give me a reason despite me reaching out to support and asking what i did wrong. The part that I find disturbing is that I had reached out to support a few times during my receipt submission and they would fix the issue to have me continue submitting receipts because they were getting paid for the receipts, they didn’t have an issue or tell me I was doing something wrong. They waited until I tried to cashout to then just simply close my account and not pay me what I was owed. To this day I still have no idea what I did wrong so I believe they are just scamming people.

Love it so much!
Fantastic app! Great cashback on fantastic products! I love using it for everyday shopping
Not What it Once Was
I have been using ibotta for nearly a decade now, and have made well over $500 in cash back. Nearly all of that was in the first 4-5 years. It is a disappointing waste of your time now. Do you enjoy expecting cash back, only to find that you bought the 9 oz product, not the 10 oz ONLY that is required? How about scrolling through hundreds of coupons, where most of them are just repeats? How about looking at endless coupons for your favorite store, knowing full well that most of the products are not even sold there? Do you like taking multiple photos of your receipt, only to have to take them all over because ibotta can’t read them? On top of all this, they will start charging you inactivity fees after 6 months. Sad.

Rewards
They do not give enough of free spaces anymore.
deals aren’t great
there just aren’t as many good deals like there used to be.
Not as many coupons as used to be
Sometimes
you have the exact item but it doesn’t give the coupon and there is not as many coupons for the things i buy as there used to be

Not truthful
This app is very hit and miss, but mostly miss. A lot of things that are listed as cash back eligible, you never get the cash back, and when submitting a request to review your receipt, an AI chat bot just denies your request and you never get your cash back. I’d call the is app the S word, but my review will be blocked. I wouldn’t recommend using this app. I have had a lot of eligible money not awarded to me.

Love it‼️
Closing in on $1000 back. Took a while to get strategic anout iBotta but once on top it's a relative breeze‼️Mo Kings, No Nukes and no unaffordable GOP‼️
Great app.. if only
This would be awesome if you didn’t have to search ahead of time and the app would simply find the purchase and match cash back like other receipt scanning apps.
Ibotta
Fabulous coupons
Love Ibotta
Ibotta has made me hundreds of dollars over the years, easy to use and would recommend to everyone.
Customer service
Easily the worst customer service! I’ve had ibotta since 2020 and I’m deleting the app. The customer service has gone sooooo down since when I first joined. I reached out for help and two agents later I’ve gotten zero answers and the same automated response. It’s $0.50… seriously ibotta?!?
Don’t waste your time with this app.

Fun
It’s fun to do and try to get new sales, but it’s also nice to have more sales and more items and more user-friendly
Screwed out of rebate
I submitted a rebate for ANY Breyers CarbSmart Ice cream. I bought two flavors ( brownie a la mode and Rocky Road) and only one was accepted even though they both the correct product. Tried to submit bar code manually and it still wasn’t accepted. I guess I should have scanned each barcode in store but the flavor should not matter.. The rebate was was only $1.50 but in today’s economy every bit of money counts .

It’s fine
As a long time user I can tell you the value of this app has deteriorated greatly. It’s better than not having it but not by much. If you want rebate apps that you’ll get a better return on, Upside and Fetch are my favorites and Pogo isn’t bad but in the same boat as Ibotta: getting worse instead of better.
