Over $60 in the last two months alone! If you can strategize the offers to use, this is almost as good as any credit card offers. [Edited]

Ibotta is currently 15% for Boxed, a nice complement to the Amex Offer out.

I uninstalled the app recently.

Can anyone share what the $5 shopping bonus? Can you make any purchase online and get a $5 bonus?

You have to shop through their Mobile Shopping offers in the app. iTunes and UBER offers are excluded.

I think the number of offers you need to redeem in order to trigger the bonus may vary. Mine is at 2.

I have a free $5 for 2 offers and a free $5 for one mobile offer. I deleted the app a month ago and re-added it today.

I deleted the app to download iOS 11 and haven’t missed it. I found it to be more of a waste of time once the eBay portals quit tracking and they took away the $3-4 6-pack beer coupons

almost all Ibotta offers are customized. Old users get $0.25 less on many offers. Then there’s the number of rebates variation. I don’t like it.

Stack with Amex’s Amazon prime offer possible?

Love both DoC and Ibotta. The $5 grocery bonus offer requires purchase of 12 branded rebate items by 10/25. Not impossible to do if you organize, but not exactly the easy birthday “gift” they imply.

Mine is 8 offers. Maybe it varies by account?
