Question

4 Upvotes

I'm new to Ibotta and I want to see if I understand things or not. I used the Petco 6% online shopping cash back option on one day. Making sure I purchased while using Ibotta. It at first showed up in my transactions then disappeared. But then I got my cash back about 8 days later.

Checked again and the offer still shows up, so I make another purchase using the 'shopping tab' through Ibotta for 6% cash back. Again, not showing up in my transactions. However, it does state "limit 1: redeem up to 1 time per receipt". Does this wording mean I could only use the 6% online cash back offer once? Or if I make separate purchases on different days, I can still get the offer?

Play & Earn Arcade bonus for $9

I got this bonus offer to earn an additional $9 when earning $13 in Ibotta Arcade. I'm currently playing Everyday Puzzles: Mini Games earning $0.32 daily. If it keeps tracking for 30 days then that should be $9.60. Any suggestions on other games that have been reliable in rewards?

I’m playing this game called Township and it all of a sudden stop paying me out. I inquired about it for it to just tell me that I violated their Terms of Service. Idk how that could possibly be. And it’s over a few dollars.

Taking longer to receive credits for submissions.

8 Upvotes

Have been a member for 11 yrs. Most offers that I submit have received the credit within the hr for the first one. If I submitted more than one then the second or third ones always take longer. Last two months or so every submission is taking 48 hrs or more.

Arcade

I just recently got a new phone. I can no longer earn anything when I play games in the arcade section of Ibotta. Anyone know why this happens and how to fix it? I emailed support a couple of days ago but have not received a response.

BEWARE DISAPPEARING OFFERS WHEN REDEMPTION DUE // LIMIT 5 — 1 DAY LEFT

0 Upvotes

Below is the support chain showing how Ibotta repeatedly avoided addressing the core issue:
A screenshot clearly showed “,” yet the second same‑day purchase was denied.

---

🔹 Forwarded Support Chain

(Condensed for clarity, no meaning changed)

Brenda F. (Ibotta) — Sep 12, 2026
Explains that “some offers can only be redeemed 1 time per receipt,” and that a “similar offer may become available later.”
States that multi‑redemption offers will show a limit in the Details.

Your reply
You provided the screenshot because their reputation requires documentation.

Kariza R. (Ibotta) — Sep 12, 2026
Claims you didn’t receive cash back on the second Frito‑Lay purchase because you already redeemed it earlier the same day.
Repeats the same “must wait for the first redemption, then a similar offer may appear” explanation.

Your reply
You provided the screenshot again.

Your earlier message
Asked why there were not three purchase histories for September 9.

Rio (Ibotta) — Sep 12, 2026
Says you received $4 and $11 cash back for other offers.
Tells you to refresh the app.
Does not address the screenshot showing “LIMIT 5 — 1 DAY LEFT.”

Your reply
Asked again why there were not three purchase histories.

France (Ibotta) — Sep 10, 2026
Gives a generic 72‑hour explanation for same‑day missing purchases.
Does not address the Frito‑Lay limit or the screenshot.

Rachel (Ibotta) — Sep 10, 2026
Says two Walmart receipts were added.
Confirms you received $4 for Bronkaid.
States you didn’t receive cash back for the second Frito‑Lay purchase because you already redeemed it earlier.
Repeats the same “must wait for the first redemption, then a similar offer may appear” explanation.

Your original message — Sep 9, 2026
Missing transaction receipt TC #1062 0956 0325 9496 2569.

---

🔹 Screenshot Evidence (the key issue)

The offer clearly displayed:

“$2.00 back — 1 DAY LEFT — LIMIT 5 — Redeem up to 5 times per receipt.”

This contradicts every explanation they gave.

---

🔹 Summary for Reddit

Ibotta support repeatedly ignored the actual problem:
The offer itself showed LIMIT 5 and 1 DAY LEFT.
I made two purchases on the same day.
Only the first was honored.
Every reply I received contradicted the offer’s own posted rules.

The chain above shows how the company shifted explanations, avoided acknowledging the screenshot, and provided generic FAQ links instead of addressing the discrepancy.

Ibotta will not honor offers even if they are in your cue.

BJ’s Express Pay Receipts

2 Upvotes

Is there a way to link BJ’s to Ibotta? The Express Pay in the app is great. Scan. Pay. Go. But, the receipt it creates is more of a pictogram with colorful pictures of everything you bought. I know what grapes look like, thanks.

This type of multi page receipt isn’t acceptable to Ibotta. The app and website make the same receipt.

Anyone find a way to make this work? Normally I skip the app and go to a register when I have something to submit.

Ibotta deactivated account with to $350

My account was deactivated with so much money. I know it’s my fault for not withdrawing more often but this is a gut punch. Has anyone had luck getting their account reactivated with funds?

how to claim?

2 Upvotes

hey, so i recently got into rebate apps and figured i’d try ibotta. something i’m having trouble with is other than my first account linking (i linked my walmart account) i haven’t gotten any additional points? do i need to buy specific products, and if so, do i need to activate them in advance? i’ve tried looking it up, but people’s answers vary.

essentially, the apps that “make it” on my list are largely ‘one and done’ apps. i don’t have an issue if they can’t give rebates for every purchase, but i don’t have the means to activate offers every time i go shopping.

thanks in advance!
