Using the Ibotta cash back app is an easy way to earn cash back on your grocery purchases. Here's a step-by-step explanation of how grocery shoppers can use the Ibotta app. Other cash back apps work in the same way, but you’ll find that Ibotta offers the widest selection of offers and store choices to maximize your savings.

Download and Install Apps:

Download the Ibotta app, Fetch Rewards, Shopmium or Checkout 51 from your smartphone's app store (available for both Android and iOS devices).

Create an Account:

Open the app and create a free Ibotta account. You can sign up using your email address, Facebook account, or Google account.

Explore Available Offers:

Once you've logged in, you'll see a list of available cash back offers. These offers can include specific grocery items, as well as items from other categories like clothing, electronics, and restaurants.

Select Grocery Offers:

To focus on grocery shopping, tap on the "Grocery" category or use the search function to find grocery-related offers. Browse through the list of available items and offers.

Add Offers to Your List:

To add an offer to your shopping list, simply tap on it. This will add the offer to your "My Offers" or "My List" section within the app.

Go Shopping:

With your selected offers in mind, head to your preferred grocery store to do your shopping. Make sure to purchase the specific items listed in the Ibotta app to qualify for cash back. You can check an item’s barcode with the Ibotta app to make sure it matches the offer selected. This is important because you don’t want to pay full price for an item and miss out on the savings.

Redeem Offers:

After you've completed your shopping, open the Ibotta app again and tap on the "Redeem" or "Verify Purchases" option.

Scan Your Receipt:

Follow the prompts to scan your grocery receipt using the Ibotta app. Ensure that the receipt captures the eligible items you purchased.

Unlock Cash Back:

Once your purchases are verified, Ibotta will credit your account with cash back for the eligible items you bought. The amount of cash back varies depending on the offers.

Withdraw Your Earnings:

When you accumulate a certain amount of cash back in your Ibotta account (usually a minimum of $20), you can withdraw your earnings. Ibotta offers various redemption options, including PayPal, Venmo, gift cards, and more.

Enjoy Your Savings:

Congratulations! You've successfully earned cash back on your grocery purchases. You can use your savings on future shopping trips or other expenses.

Remember to check the apps regularly for new offers and bonuses. It's an excellent way to save money on everyday grocery items and other purchases.
