**IMPORTANT: Mobile Shopping rebates are only valid when the mobile retailer's website or app is launched from Ibotta. Be sure not to break this direct link from the Ibotta app.**
Step 1: Access the Retailer from the Featured Screen or the Mobile Shopping Category. Users can also select specific categories from the Retailer gallery if eligible. Check out the list of retailers here.
Step 2: Tap on the pink "Shop" button. If prompted, download the specific mobile app.
Step 3: Make a purchase.
Step 4: Ibotta will update you on the status of your rebate. For most Mobile Shopping retailers, your rebate will update within 24-72 hours. Please review the rebate details for retailer specific information.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to verify anything?
Nope! As long as you have successfully used our Mobile Shopping process, you will be credited once your order is fully processed. We suggest holding on to your confirmation and shipping emails until your rebate credit posts.
How long will it take for me to receive my rebate from the Mobile Shopping purchase?
Each individual offer varies in pending credit time. Please review the rebate details within the Ibotta app for more specific information.
Can I make multiple purchases?
Yes! Each Retailer specific rebate and stackable rebates can be used for multiple purchases. Be sure to access the Retailer's rebate within Ibotta prior to each purchase. Additional purchases made with the Retailer, without accessing the Ibotta rebate, will not be eligible for credit.
Please note that not all % cash back offers are available at all times. Once an initial offer posts as pending to your account, please refresh your app to view the current offer.
For specific exclusions, please review each individual rebate for more details.
Will this count towards my teamwork and other applicable bonuses?
Yes, but your account will not reflect a Mobile Shopping rebate credit until the rebate status changes from pending to complete.
What if I cancel or return my order?
We will be notified of your return/cancellation and the credit will be deducted from your account.
Is a purchase made directly through the retailer's website eligible for Ibotta credit?
No, in order to receive credit, you must use the Mobile Shopping system, both starting and completing the process from the Ibotta app.
