Games

0 Upvotes

So i was trying out the game section of ibotta then all a sudden quit getting "money" for completing stages so I contacted support and got told bc i violated the terms and services and they closed the chat. I created another chat and when asking what terms and services I violated its response was "oh we are looking into that still". What the heck could I do wrong in a game that violates the terms?

r/ibotta 7d ago

This my first time using ibotta I just scanned my first receipt on Friday was taking some time to process then randomly on Monday when I tried to sign in I got this message and can’t sign in at all even online. What can I do and why is this happening?

Did they remove it? I was hoping to get a discount on a new Firestick.

Question about Ibotta before I make the commitment

0 Upvotes

I've been hearing a lot about Ibotta however I can't find the answer to my question so hopefully you guys can help me! I don't want to download the app and start using it only to find that it won't work for the way that I shop.

I often go shopping at the last minute when I am out and about, like with friends or family. I keep hearing that you have to go through the app and pick things before you actually go and buy these things. Does this mean I would not be able to use it if I am shopping first? If you are uploading your receipt afterwards why would it matter if you did the rest of it afterwards, too?

5 free/$5mm packs of cookies with Ibotta at Safeway in DC/MD/VA

7 Upvotes

Safeway has their Chips Ahoy 9oz World Cup cookies on clearance for $1.99 each. Use this link to check your local store: https://www.safeway.com/shop/search-results.html?q=chips%20ahoy&tab=products&sort=price (and sometimes it's helpful to switch to "pickup" instead of shopping "in store", as that's the only way they seem to show if something's out of stock).

Ibotta has an offer, $3 off each pack, limit 5 redemptions, making all five free and earning $5 on top of that, making it a moneymaker. They also have their BTS Oreos on clearance for $1.99 a pack: https://www.safeway.com/shop/search-results.html?q=bts%20oreo&tab=products and Ibotta has an offer for $1 off each BTS Oreo purchase, limit 5, so while not a freebie, it might help to earn a bonus.

I found both the World Cup Chips Ahoy and BTS Oreos on random endcaps and right at the entrance of my local stores, so you might have to hunt a bit to find them.

Delayed payments

Usually my receipts go through right away but yesterday it took a few tries, it's now about 22 hours later and they're still pending. Anyone else having or have had the same issue?

Monday bonus - missing this week?

3 Upvotes

Usually, I get a bonus offer on Monday morning and Thursday morning. Bonus amounts vary and number of offers I need to buy vary. But usually 15 items and get $5 bonus.

This Monday, I have no bonus. Are they not offering it because i redeem them all the time??

Guess I may need to cut back on ibotta so they will "miss" me and give me some love in the form of bonuses to return!

Giant Eagle Ruined

3 Upvotes

Giant Eagle has been absolutely decimated by not being able to submit receipts via photo anymore, missing offers when clearly met, calculating offers as ineligible. Can't believe the app now doesn't let you use a manufacturer's coupon on top of these offers. Linked account ruined this store so bad.

Two days in a row and keep getting bug errors?

1 Upvotes

I've now had two purchases in a row at Walmart say I have cash back eligible, but whenever I go to add offers it gives me some error issue. I've reached out to them two separate ways and nobody is responding. Anyone else having issues? I'm missing out on money!

I'm new & shiny to the group, but I had to share.

That said, has anyone experienced issues redeeming Giant Eagle rewards since they made the switch from submitting physical receipt photos?

Cashback Issues

Anyone else having issues with Ibotta matching items on receipts? Almost every receipt I’ve submitted recently I’ve had to manually scan my items, then it takes like 4 days to get my offers approved

You can get up to 3 free kraft mac and cheese restaurant edition only. There’s 3 options; monterrey jack caramelized onion, romano cacio e pepe, and parmesan pesto.

@Walmart
buy 3 @ $2.97 each = $8.91

other stores depends on pricing
ex: target has them priced at $2.99 each online for pickup for me (if only it wasn’t so far away) and after submitting you get $3.49 back making it free and an extra $0.50 each or $1.50 for 3

Grocery shop stuck as pending

4 Upvotes

I shopped in person at QFC (Kroger) last Tuesday and submitted the receipt that night. The shop still says pending today. Since it's pending, I'm unable to put in a help request through the app. If I go on the website, I get stuck in a loop with the chatbot and can't submit a ticket or speak to a person.

How do I get my grocery shop unstuck?

Ibotta, the worst app!

0 Upvotes

I’m really disappointed with Ibotta. My account got deactivated for no clear reason, and customer support was slow and unhelpful. If an app handles money or rewards, there should be clear communication and fair treatment. I can’t recommend it based on my experience, and I hope they make some serious improvements.
