Merry & Bright

[MelissaR]

@LollykinsI got the Jack O Lantern bonus $45/140 in October and it was the only bonus for me (and a lot of users in the community).  A very small group of users got all the bonus offerings.  Some didn't get the month long, but got mid wk & weekends and another group who didn't get any bonuses at all during the month.

Hey folks,

So I misunderstood the other day. Sounds like some savers will be seeing the month-long bonus IN ADDITION to the standard bonuses.

NOTE: The Merry and Bright bonus is only going out to certain savers, so not everyone will have this. Everyone should however have the standard bonuses.

Sorry for the confusion! I just confirmed this with the program manager.

Me too only the 30 day MerryandBright $45/140. But then I remembered to clear cache and voila,  I have $10/42 Snowflake and $5/15 weekend whatever bonus.  These shorter timed bonuses get the juices flowing.  I'm going shopping! Now if we can get Ibotta to do another holiday freebie frenzy! 🧑‍🎄

@TXbelle nothing else for this month in terms of freebies. At least, as far as I know. We discussed doing a Freebie Frenzy but there wasn't enough participation from brands to pull it off.

It seems to be a little better at Kroger these days. I have noticed that when I am out of state at Kroger, it goes through almost immediately, but when I am home- it always takes at least 2 days. I guess MY Kroger is slow to verify to Ibotta. I find it really strange!

In October I got the $45/140 bonus and no others the entire month. I didn't make it, which is unlike me. I completed about half the offers required.

This month (today to be exact) I was presented with 3 bonuses to stack: $45/140, $10/42, and a weekend wonderland for $1/10. All with differing expiration dates, of course.

Stacked bonuses get me way more motivated, so I'm very likely -- not to mention excited -- to complete these this month. I'm hoping to also receive more bonuses to stack as the month progresses.

I forgot to say sorry to those who didn't receive the Merry and Bright bonus and or the other bonuses. My intention is never to "rub it in," so I hope I didn't come across that way.

If anything, I thought that receiving but not achieving the large bonus in October, then receiving all the bonuses available thus far in December was interesting. But then, far be it for me to start a discussion with the conjecture that we could figure out who gets what bonuses and why.

So let me start over: Scatch everything I said before and let me just say I'm excited to recieve all the bonuses thus far this month and sincerely hope most of you get the same, and if not, are still otherwise happily motivated. 😀

I see the term 'clear cache' a lot but have no idea what that means

Regarding the term " Clear Cache" this applies to android users.  This action enable your app to start fresh and not from a point of saved information.  I don't know if the same would apply to Apple users.

• enter phone settings select
• Scroll through until you find "Apps" and select
• Scroll until you find Ibotta app and select
• Scroll until you find storage and select
• press the icon on page that says clear cache 

exit and reopen Ibotta app and the data should be refreshed. Most Ibotta app users perform this action at 0900 to see if a bonus was awarded on Mondays and Thursdays. I'm not IT guru just a little information to answer your question and I hope this helps you out.
