Unable to withdraw

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Updated by user Jan 16, 2026

I have not been able to withdraw the funds I earned, which is $35.90.I am given a message when entering my phone number for verification purposes. After entering my 10 digit phone number for a text messaged code to enter, I get a message that says Ibotta is unable to send an SMS to my number and to contact support for assistance.

When I try another method as indicated on app, it sends me right back to entering my phone number with the same result.

I have tried numerous times entering my number and no resolve in retrieving the money I earned. NOT HAPPY IBOTTA APP USER!!):

Original review Jan 15, 2026

I am unable to withdraw the cash back owed to me. It will not allow me to enter my number and refers me to contact support.

My phone number is 786-566-****. Thank you.

No customer assistanc

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

No customer assistance, and I have to call an ambulance now even. This has always worked instantaneously.

And now that I desperately need it to pay for gas for a ride to the hospital, I have to call an ambulance instead. A $7000 bill compared to a $30 ride.

I had two back-to-back purchases at Walmart. I had rebates on both slips; however, my second slip will not take.

I sent a photo of both receipts in order. The second receipt has a five dollar item for the Natrol Melatonin on it.

First time I ever use the app and Boy that I like it until

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Ibotta - First time I ever use the app and Boy that I like it until

My name is Vinny Collazo and Ive never used. I bought it but I was referred by a friend and I started earning money immediately.

It was so cool that I can use my EBT card and actually get cash back and redeem it for a gift card so on and so forth or even cash directly to my accounts now the bad thing is, it keeps showing me a message that my phone number has been validated. That was three months ago. I have still not been able to withdraw Penny. I have sent them about 40 emails about helping me connect my phone number and they seem to think I have another account which I dont but this phone is a company phone.

The only one I have so maybe the other person did I gave them all my information and went through it they said they resolved it and then sometimes they would just reply and say oh, are you having trouble trying to buy a gift card like I dont know if they speak English what country they are in but even the phone Through consumer theyre nice enough to try to get in touch with them but every time I call through there it doesnt work and it hangs up on me. Ive had it. Id like to file a formal complaint with the consumer fraud bureau because this is straight fraud. Theyre charging my account now 399 a month or a week because theres no activity will there be a lot of activity because I get about $900 in food stamps and I love that concept so if we can fix this, Ill change that one star Of Five Please contact me directly on my business line and when you do call it youll realize it is a Virginia phone number.

Ive never even been there. Thats where my boss bought. The phones I live in Florida OK and my phone number is 571-502-****. I bought it to call me.

Otherwise I will file a complaint a very Formula One. Anxiety have dealt with I think I even have a.

And have a heart attack over this. The only reason Im unable to withdraw any funds is because it says my number is not being confirmed to verified and Ive had photos like below 100 times I verified the damn number..

Deduction

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I had been sick and I hadn't been using Ibotta because I wasn't able to shop. They deducted four dollars from my account, and I called them and explained the situation.

They refunded the four dollars and said I would have six months to use my account again before it would happen, but within just a few weeks after the call, they deducted four more dollars again. Now, I have asked them to call me because it's impossible to call them. I have received no call, no response, nothing from them. So, if I don't hear from them within a couple of days, I am just going to close my account.

It is not worth all the hassle. Plus, there are hardly any good offers now compared to what they were when I first joined.

  • Cash reimbursement for certain items bought

  • Items that you can click on to get reimbursement on are not as good as they used to be and often i cannot find the items that they have on the app in the store it has become much more annoying and difficult to use the app

User's recommendation: Save yourself the hassle use the fetch app instead

Original review Sep 29, 2025

I have an account with $80.00 in it, and it just disappeared???

This is my Ibotta account.

I should have known, as years ago they did the same thing...

You can't talk to anyone, and your emails won't go through.

Must be another foreign rip-off country.

Missing over $13

I would like to speak to someone, please. My Walmart receipt keeps saying that it's been submitted.

I paid with my card that is linked to my Walmart account. I am still missing over $13. I kept trying to submit a review. I did that; they said wait for 72 hours.

I did that; it is still missing all of my offers. I went shopping specifically for these offers.

I keep trying to resubmit the receipt, and it says it's already been submitted. I really would like somebody to call me back, please.

You're withholding my earnings

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I bought it. I don't like it when you use it for two days in a row.

If you do, they lock your account.

There's no way to get a hold of them, only through email. It's been 6 days.
