We are hooked on Ibotta, the free smart phone app that you download to your phone and then use to earn cash payments for buying certain items.
Download Ibotta here, for free.
Once you have the app on your phone you will see offers on food items, beverages, cleaning products and more. To take advantage of an offer, click on it and you may be asked to answer a multiple choice question about the item (they are easy, and you can keep guessing until you get it right), read a factual statement about the product or even watch a very short video. By doing these tasks you increase your Ibotta payment potential.
The next step is to buy the item from one of the participating stores (go here to see all participating stores). Keep in mind you can use paper coupons in the store to buy the item; Ibotta payments are totally separate from coupon use.
Once you buy the item you use the app to take a photo of the receipt and upload it by using your phone. It takes just seconds and the money is deposited into your account really quickly.
If you sign up here on or by 1/11/13 you will receive a $5 BONUS when you submit your 1st receipt.
Wondering how to get paid? Just request a payment through the app and they will deposit the cash into your Paypal account. Easy!!
Imagine buying cereal on sale for $1.99, and then using a $1 mfg. coupon so the out of pocket is $0.99. If Ibotta had a $1 offer for the cereal you would be paid $1 for buying it – pocketing a $0.01 profit!
