I've been using Ibotta for years. When I first downloaded it, it was great! I linked it to my loyalty cards and was racking up cash back like mad! Then my cards stopped working. The desktop app has NEVER worked. And when I submit receipts for anything other than groceries I get nothing. Even if they are "Approved purchases". I just want to close my account and walk away but I have pending cash back that's under $20 so I can't. And I can't even GET to $20 because the app won't let me redeem anything ever. Is it just me? Why did the quality of this app decline so much?
@theonlynikki I did away with linking accounts and do everything through my app. I find that if I scan the items in store and took clear pictures of the receipts, most of the items are found on the receipt, and then I just add what is missing. I actually find the app has been working better lately.
Walmart of course is just scan the barcode at the bottom. I'm sorry you are frustrated with the app.
I unlinked my cards also because it wasn't picking up anything.
Just take photos on the app. It will pick up things it shouldn't.
You can buy gift cards with your balance if it’s less than $20
@theonlynikki Supportive of unlinking as well. Also, it’s not unusual to have to open tickets with the Care Team to request a review and receive credits manually.
Do you use the chrome extension?
@Edawn24 Didn't know that, good tip. Thanks
Glad I saw your post. I thought it was just me. I haven't earned anything with linked accounts since November and I shop 2 stores in particular at least 3 days a week and use to always receive credit within 24hrs. I'm unlinking tonight!
@kkwaller1 Just remember, some stores HAVE TO BE LINKED.
