ibotta :: free app to earn cash while shopping

I recently discovered this cool app called Ibotta. I’m always trying to be frugal and part of my penny pinching means I don’t have a smartphone yet. Key word, YET! 🙂 However, I was very happy to discover that this app not only is for smartphone users, but it works on my iPod touch as well!

So, to continue on with the theme of saving money, this app is easy to use and I get cash deposited into my Paypal account (when I hit $5) and all I have to do is upload my receipts through this app when I purchase items they are offering cash back on. It gets smarter the more I personalize it too. I earned $3.25 on 5 items from a recent trip to Target. It takes very little time to get to the payout point of $5. In addition to the $3.25 Ibotta gave me, I had manufacturer AND Target coupons I used for most of the items so they were all nearly free. Now that’s my kind of shopping! It’s fun to add items to your list before your shopping trip, but even more exciting to see your earnings after you upload your receipt.

Here are a few highlights from Ibotta:

(1) Real Cash – not points, not rewards, earn up to $20/more every time you check out

(2) Earn Where You Shop – Target, Walmart, Walgreens, Duane Reade and more. Retailers will keep being added

(3) Fun and Exciting – this is not a coupon app, it’s a consumer engagement platform – something totally different than coupons. More earning, more interesting, easier, better

(4) See Offers You Love – the more you use the app, the better Ibotta gets at learning about and presenting offers that you love. The app gets smarter over time.

(5) Always See New Offers – every time you redeem an offer, it’ll be refreshed with new products

(6) Share the Love and Earn Cash – download Ibotta and start inviting all your friends to share the awesomeness that is Ibotta. Plus, make even more money for each referral

(7) Make a Difference – donate as little or as much of your earnings to any school in America with a click of a button anywhere, anytime. No payment info needed. All 129,000+ schools are in our app..

You can post how you are spending your Ibotta earnings and the coolest story will be featured on Ibotta’s facebook page or email at support@ibotta.com. If your story is featured you will find a gift in your Ibotta account as well!
