Like most rational people, I love saving money. Do you want to get cash back and gift cards for buying the things you’d buy anyway? Do you love to thrift shop? If so, have you heard about Ibotta?
Couponing Didn’t Work For Me
I started couponing after watching TLC’s Extreme Couponers coming away with stockpiles of households for next to nothing. It was an endeavor that I never managed to save more than $100-$120 a month doing.
While couponing sounds like a good payoff, I had to spend hours upon hours searching for, collecting, clipping, and organizing these coupons. And, that’s not counting the hours it would take going through the stores with said coupons matching sales to coupons and ensuring the terms were met for redemption. Eventually, I just couldn’t devote the energy to it.
Ibotta Works
Then I found Ibotta. It’s a cash rebate app, and it will change the way you thrift shop forever. The app features a plethora of retail niches - grocery, online shopping, travel, liquor, restaurants, arts and crafts, and so on. For each niche, Ibotta has participating retailers. Each retailer has specific rebates for the store. There are also “any” rebates that can be redeemed via purchases from any retailer.
I’ve used Ibotta for two years and have saved almost 1,300. The effort level is minimal. I just open the app before I shop to see if it’s an online or in-store participant or if there’s an “any” rebate for the item I’m seeking. Click on the rebates I want, make the purchase, and then scan either the receipt, my rewards card for the retailer, or the receipt’s QR code. Within a few hours, the rebate is credited to my Ibotta account.
There are thousands of rebates and retailer participants, which means most purchases you make will have a rebate. If I buy a bottle of wine at a liquor store, it most likely has an Ibotta rebate. If I buy a package of cookies at Walmart, it most likely has an Ibotta rebate. If I go on vacay, Ibotta most likely has a rebate through hotels.com for accommodations. If I order off amazon.com, Ibotta likely has a rebate.
Why not be a thrift shopper and take advantage of that money back for such purchases? It takes less than two minutes to search for a given rebate and redeem it. When you’re ready for your payout, get the cash directly deposited to PayPal or choose from a number of gift cards.
To add a little icing to your savings, Ibotta offers users bonuses for redeeming certain rebates and redeeming a certain number of rebates. You can connect with friends and family, creating an Ibotta team, to earn even more teamwork bonuses.
