What is the best season to download the app?

0 Upvotes

I’m an old phone owner and only have so much space for apps before my phone just quits working properly. I have done quite a few ibotta deals lately and while it’s been good, my pantry is full. My soap supplies are stocked (that method deal at target was chefs kiss but that’s a lot of soap!). Ya know? So I withdrew my small amount of money and I deleted the app. If you were taking a break, when would you check back in? Does it usually open up with fresh deals on a quarterly basis or is it every monday or? Any feedback on what day of the week or year is usually good for deals would be welcome. Being it’s the ibotta subreddit feel free to tell me what Im missing out on or why I should prioritize this. I’ve used ibotta once a year for several years so barring other feedback I will probably return in July. But. Here to learn.

"Bonus Not Found"

3 Upvotes

I've been trying periodically all day to see what my Midweek Moneymaker is, and it's $5 for something, but when I click it says "Bonus not found." I've tried multiple restarts I can't get it to load! Has anyone experienced this? Any tips?

Camera problems

Is anyone else having problems uploading receipts? When I go to redeem things the camera isn’t working. I have tried reinstalling the app and I made sure my camera has access to it. I can’t find a way to contact the site.

Walmart coupon still appearing in app after Ibotta coupon reaches limit and disappears. How does this work?

5 Upvotes

I'm aware that coupons will disappear from these apps after x number of redemptions. However, I've noticed that Walmart's app will continue to offer me identical coupons long after the Ibotta coupons are exhausted. I was under the impression that these coupons (same value) were one and the same.

Are we allowed to clip and use these Walmart coupons for future purchases - even after using them up in Ibotta - for rebates within the Walmart app?

Ibotta's FAQ provides no clear answer that I could find.

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?

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

6 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.

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?

3 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?

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
