3-Step Guide to Getting Cash Back Online Shopping with Ibotta Pin It

Shopping online has never felt more rewarding.

Whether you’re shopping on Amazon, ordering takeout from your favorite restaurant, or booking a trip on Hotwire, start with Ibotta to get cash back on all of your purchases. First, if you don’t already have the free Ibotta app, download it from the iOS or Google Play store and sign up for a new account. Then follow the steps below to start making money:

Step 1: Select “Find Offers” and open the “Online Shopping” category.

Ibotta's mobile shopping section

Open the Ibotta app, select “Find Offers” at the bottom of the app and then select the “Online Shopping” category from the menu. Browse offers available at offer 100 of the most popular online retailers, including Amazon, Orbitz, and Overstock.

Pro tip: If you have any online shopping favorites, you can use the search bar at the top of the app to look for them.

Step 2: Find an offer you’d like to use and select “Shop”.

Once you’ve found your retailer, select the “Shop” button and Ibotta will take you straight to the retailer’s website (or mobile app, if you have it downloaded). Then, simply shop as normal!

Pro Tip: you’ll always see the Ibotta header at the top of your screen if you’re shopping through the app. If you don’t see this header, make sure you go into the Ibotta app and shop from there — otherwise, you won’t receive credit for your purchase!

Step 3: Complete a purchase without leaving the website or mobile app.

Shop in the retailer’s app or mobile site just like you normally would, making sure to complete your purchase without leaving the app. Once you’ve made your purchase, you’ll soon receive an update confirming the amount of your pending earnings and when you can expect them in your Ibotta account balance.

That’s it.

Now get out there and earn some cash back online shopping! If you have any questions (or just want to tell us about your savings), feel free to contact us via social media on Facebook or Twitter at @Ibottaapp. You can also visit our Help Center for more information or to talk with an Ibotta Care Agent.

Happy earning!

      Great question! Some retailers offer one, the other, or both. Check your app for the most up to date offers. Thanks!

    I spent some money on Amazon through the app a few weeks ago and never received any cash back. Is there a way to know which purchases will qualify and which ones won’t?

    I ordered groceries online from WalMart and drove over later in the day to pick them up. How can I get Ibotta credit there…..don’t have a receipt to scan

      Sadly, Ibotta does not accept e-receipts, like you would receive from Walmart for grocery pick-up. Check this out https://help.ibotta.com/hc/en-us/articles/115004967648-Does-Ibotta-work-online-
