Must Have Coupon App- Ibotta! Learn How It Works!


 

If you’ve been following me for a while you have heard me talk about Ibotta !! This app is being included in all the coupon deals and match-ups!

I am LOVING this app!! I have cashed in close to $40 bucks by using this app!! PLUS once you sign up, have your friends sign up and for every friend that signs up you will score a $1.00! PLUS many are reporting that once they claim an offer, it has come back again! Meaning, you can go buy the item AGAIN and get another credit!! How COOL is that!!

update- 1/15- I can now say that this has worked for me– where I redeemed an offer and it reappeared AGAIN!!!

So how would you like to to earn cash for products that you are planning to buy in-store anyways (products that you may be able to score FREE or cheap with coupons)?!  Just head over here to download the free Ibotta app and you’ll be able to start earning real money for buying select products in selected stores listed below:

CVS, Dominicks, Dillons, Duane Reade, Fred Meyer, Fry’s, H-E-B, Publix, King Soopers, Kroger, Meijer, Pavilions, Pick ‘N Save, Ralphs, Rite Aid, Safeway, Shop Rite, Smith’s, Stop & Shop, Target, Vons, Walgreens, Walmart, 7-11, with more being added!!

Here’s how it works:

Head over here and download the Ibotta app for FREE (note that this app is currently only compatible with iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, iPod touch – 3rd generation, iPod touch – 4th generation, iPod touch – 5th generation and iPad and does requires iOS 5.0 or later) and now ANDROID users too!!

Before you head out to shop, browse through all the different offers. You’ll earn money by watching quick videos, viewing recipes, taking polls, posting to your Facebook Wall etc. AND then actually going to the store to purchase these specific items.  The awesome part for all of us couponers, is that in addition to getting cash back on your purchases, you can also use manufacturer’s coupons to lower your out of pocket expense.

Be sure to check out the product detail page on the app itself in order to view the offer’s expiration date. Offers can sell out, so it’s important to redeem them before they’re gone!

After you make your in-store purchases, you’ll just need to upload your receipt via the Ibotta app. Ibotta will then verify your purchases and determine whether credit should be added to your account within 24 hours.  In many cases, you will receive word from Ibotta in under 1 hour.

Once you’ve reached at least $5 in earnings, Ibotta lets you transfer your earnings directly to your PayPal account.  Choose Withdraw Cash from the main menu of the app, then select Get My Cash to link Ibotta to your PayPal account.

If you’d rather opt to donate your earnings to your favorite school, you can make a donation to any school in America as soon as you’ve earned $1 with Ibotta. Just choose Withdraw Cash from the main menu of the app, then select Donate to Schools.  Ibotta can use your current location to find nearby schools, or you can type in any zip code and pull up a list of schools in that area.

Be sure to tell Ibotta which offers you like and dislike by tapping the image of any product and choosing either thumbs-up or thumbs-down. Over time the app learns what kinds of products you prefer and offers them accordingly.

Also note that there is no limit on the number of offers you can redeem.  Once you have successfully redeemed an offer, Ibotta immediately restocks your shelf with a new offer.  The more offers you redeem, the more new offers you will see, and the more money you can earn.
