UPDATE: 12 months later I had $132- I cashed it into my Paypal acct, then into my checking acct (3 easy clicks)--- bam- upgrade the ipad!!!
original post:
OK, I have been using Ibotta for 5 months and have $100.75 in my account. This is hard cash that I can deposit thru Paypal into my acct, or put it on some sort of gift card. I love Ibotta... it's an app and this is how it works:
1) You can search for the store you are headed too (Walmart), and it will pull up the hundreds of rebates available.
2) You must "Unlock" the rebates by tapping the button, then they usually ask you a marketing question or make you watch a short video. (Me: start video, put it down... come back in 60 seconds).
3) Once unlocked you go buy the product.
4) Right when you get home, (do not wait on this, Ninja Mom Hack), get your receipt and put all the Ibotta stuff on the table. You only have 7 days to do this!!!
5) In app- then tell Ibotta which items you bought, and you must scan the barcodes on each item (which is why they are sitting in front of you, don't be me and put it all away then have to dig thru fridge and pantry to get barcodes).
6) Scan the Receipt (Walmart uses the QR code).
7) Done... Money is in your Ibotta account within hours.
Tidbits
1) This is my Christmas money! I plan on putting it on a Walmart Gift Card November 15th and using it to off set my Holiday Spending. Other cards: Amazon, iTunes, Best Buy, Starbucks (hello christmas gifts), Sephora, Regal (movies).
2) Getting a team together using your referral code gets you more money faster. You earn $5 for every person who signs up. AND you get $10 just for signing up using that code! Then the team has the potential to get extra money monthly by working together.
3) The money does not expire, I emailed corporate and asked. The money sits in your Ibotta account until you are ready. If that makes you nervous, simply move the money every 2 months :)
4) I think Wednesdays are the days they refuel Ibotta rebates, so Wednesday night as you are in bed playing on your phone (bonus points for mind-numbing-games/Pinterest fun) just open up the app and quickly "unlock" any new rebates you want.
5) I then add those Ibotta things to my shopping list. Careful on the fine print: "must by 3, or only at CVS, etc". Many rebates only work at 1 store. This is why I search the STORE rebates, not the items.
6) Rebates do expire, so if you find something you WANT (usually buy and want the rebate), then check the date.
7) Lots of my rebates come back over and over: Pediasure- $3 off 2! Love that one..
8) House rule: husband must give me all Walmart receipts!
9) Checkout 51 is the SAME thing, smaller scale. Download that too!
10) Walmart Savings Catcher- scan your Walmart receipts, get $$ back. Sadly I only have $8 in that acct, I guess I buy too many Great Value brand items. It only gets you $ back on brand name items cheaper elsewhere.
Between these 3 apps, I have a total of $115. (I just started Checkout 51). Hey, I will take it! UPDATE- HAVE $160+ IN ALL 3 APPS
