How do I earn cash back with a loyalty account?

When you link your loyalty account, you’ll get cash automatically. Ibotta does the work for you by matching your purchases to offers in the app. No receipt photo necessary! 

 

Here's how it works: 

  1. Start by linking your loyalty account. Not sure how? Check out this article: How do I link my loyalty account? 
  2. Add (+) offers to Your List before shopping.
  3. Checkout
    1. Shopping in-store - When you're ready to check out at the store, scan your loyalty card or provide your phone number at the register.
    2. Shopping online grocery - Check out online as you normally would. As long as your loyalty account is linked through Ibotta, you should receive cash back.
  4. Ibotta will electronically receive your purchase information and will match your offers to the items you bought.

Please note:

  • If your loyalty account becomes unlinked at any point, you won't receive cash back unless you relink your loyalty account prior to shopping. Unlinking often occurs when changing the password associated with your loyalty account. 
    • Check your linked status by going to Profile > Settings > Linked accounts
  • Not all retailer loyalty programs are supported at this time. If you view a particular retailer's page, you'll see “Link account” at the top of the page if their loyalty program is supported.
