Ibotta Basics
ibotta is a free rewards app that pays you cash for buying your favorite products in the store. You take photos of your entire receipt after the purchase and you’ll earn cash rewards. I’ve been enjoying stacking my savings (after coupons!) with Ibotta for the past months – and I know you’ll love it, too!

Meet the NEW Ibotta!
Ibotta is getting a fresh new look today and adding some fun new features. You’ll love that there are now MORE chances to earn!
BONUSES – including $2 for new users!
You’ll find a new BONUS section in the main menu. These are not specific products, but rather actions to take (i.e., redeeming a certain number of offers) to earn extra money. Bonuses will appear as you use ibotta – and each time you redeem a bonus, a new one will appear. These are the bonuses being revealed today:
- $0.50 April Showers
“Quick! Redeem any 4 offers by the end of April and earn an extra $0.50.” - $1.00 Steady Eddy
“Redeem at least 1 offer each week for 4 weeks in a row. The Bonus clock starts on Monday of every week. Remember not to miss a week or the clock restarts all over again!” - $1.00 Coke-Walmart April Challenge
“Redeem all 4 Walmart Store Extras by the end of April and earn $1.00 extra.” - $2 Newbie Bonus
“All new users who sign up for Ibotta can each earn $2 if they redeem 2 offers within the first 2 weeks of registering.”
STORE EXTRAS
Also located in the main menu, the Store Extras section will feature additional product offers you can redeem at specific stores, like Target or Walmart.
CHECKLIST
The Shopping List is now called the checklist. You can confirm all of your guaranteed offers there (those you have opted into by completing an action) before (or during) your shopping trips.
Important Ibotta Notes
- You’ll need to download or update to the latest version of Ibotta to see Bonuses, Store Extras and other new features. The old version of Ibotta will be expiring soon, so upgrade before you forget!
- Complete product offer actions if you might buy the product! As a reminder, you can 100% guarantee that your product offer will stay available until the expiration date by completing at least one task as soon as you see the new product appear in the Ibotta gallery (answer a survey/trivia question, post to Facebook/Twitter, etc). Complete all of the tasks for that offer if you can.
- Have an issue with your Ibotta account? Would you like to share your happiness? Contact Ibotta customer service. They pride themselves on customer service and promise a response within 48 hours (usually it’s 24 hours or less)!
