A few tips for shopping with online retailers: Most partners exclude the use of additional coupons. The list of exclusions is in the offer details. Signing in partner accounts, such as your Amazon account, or payment accounts, such as PayPal, prior to launching your offer through Ibotta will help streamline the purchase process. For each of our travel partners, note that the pending period on your offer begins once you have completed your reservation, rental, or stay.

• For most online retailers, items placed in your shopping cart prior to launch are not eligible for cash back through Ibotta.
• If shopping from your computer, make sure your browser settings allow pop-ups and redirects from https://ibotta.com. This way, we can take you to the retailer's shopping site after you activate cash back from the web experience.
• If you leave a retailer's website before making your purchase, you will need to activate the offer again to earn cash back when you return. To ensure you're earning cashback, click the Ibotta icon in the top right corner of your browser menu.
