You can even get paid to shop when you use IBotta‘s exclusive rebates and discounts that are offered to many stores that you want to shop at such as JCPenney and BestBuy. You will get paid through Paypal, or you can transfer your hard earned cash directly to gift cards at many different stores around the world.
IBotta was created by IBotta inc. in 2012. It has been rated a 12+ in the iPhone app store and has been given a 4.2 star rating by users of the android version of the app. It has been downloaded by more than one million users. This app is one of the most popular shopping applications that you can use to save money on all of your future shopping trips.
Pros
Free: In order to earn money using IBotta you do not need to pay any money. All you need to do is go on the app before you shop, choose which items and stores you are going to, shop, then verify your receipts, and earn money. This is all free and will earn you good money over time on things you are going to buy anyway. There is never anything to buy.
Teamwork: If you know other people who shop a lot, or just a lot of people who shop a little, then ask them to join your team. With a team of people, you will earn more money as you buy more, and move to higher levels. So if you like working with people, or live near a big group of friends, get them all to join IBotta so you all can earn more money.
Forget the Receipt: With the app you usually have to submit a receipt to get your money. But if you are a loyalty member of a certain store, then you can just enter your number so you will not have to submit a receipt. This helps you save time and money.
Cons
You only get paid for some products: Some weeks you have to buy a certain brand of product to earn money. If you are a fan of Pepsi, but they only offer you money on Coke products, you have to switch brands to get the discount. So if you don’t like the brand they are offering money for, then you can’t take full advantage of the savings.
Accepts PayPal only: If you don’t like using Paypal, and want your money directly deposited into your account, you will have to go through Paypal instead. However, applying for a PayPal account is very simple and payments made trough PayPal are very convenient once you get verified.
Minimum Payout: The minimum payout is $10.00 so you will not be paid unless you make over ten dollars.
In Conclusion
If you are a shopper, or know a lot more people who shop, then the IBotta app is for you. This very popular app can save you money while you shop, and will not cost you any money, because it is free. You just have to make sure that you buy the products on the list of items for you to earn money on. But if you like to save money and don’t want to have to pay for it, then IBotta is for you.
