Ibotta is a popular app that helps you earn cash back from buying certain grocery items. In my opinion, everyone should be using Ibotta since everyone needs to purchase food for their home. Knowing that you are earning cash back on some of the items in your cart can even make grocery shopping a more enjoyable experience.
With Ibotta, first you need to download the app and browse rebates you could receive on products in your area. You'll also need to unlock the savings/rebate. To do this, you'll need to watch a brief video, fill out a three question survey, or read some brief information about the item.
Then, you'll make the purchase in-store, scan the product bar code with your phone and upload a picture of your receipt to the app. It sounds like quite the process but it's really easy once you get the hang of it. If you're in the store and want to find a rebate on certain products, you can open the app and scan the barcode on an item or search for the product to see if there's a cash back offer.
The best thing about Ibotta is that they pay cash and deposit your earnings into your PayPal or Venmo account within 48 hours of your verified purchase. You can also opt to receive a gift card with your earnings as well.
