Welcome bonuses are introductory bonuses or sets of bonuses that Ibotta offers to new Savers who join the app for the first time. A Welcome bonus is different from a referral bonus.
Check the Bonuses page of your Ibotta app to see your specific requirements, as these bonuses change regularly.
Is a Welcome bonus available? Here's what you need to qualify:
-
You must be a brand new Saver to Ibotta without a referral. This means you must have never had an Ibotta account before. Please note that creating multiple accounts with Ibotta will result in account deactivation.
-
You must be the only Ibotta account on your device. This means you cannot share your device with another Saver, the Saver that referred you, or have a second account with Ibotta. Sharing a device with another Saver will disqualify you from receiving the Welcome bonus.
- You'll need to redeem offers. To qualify for a Welcome bonus, a new Saver must redeem offers as described in the Welcome bonus details. For additional information on how to look up specific bonus details, see What is a bonus?
When you work towards a bonus, a bar will start circling the bonus image, letting you know your progress. Once you complete a bonus, your account will be added, and the bonus will appear under your "Completed Bonuses" section.
Please be aware that a Welcome bonus may be subject to a pending period if the new Saver has redeemed offers via Online Shopping.
