My biggest complaints with Ibotta are deals not scanning correctly, deals disappearing before they expire, and also any store I go to besides Walmart (because Walmart doesn't have a lot of the items) I have to scan the receipt (by scan I mean take a multiple pictures of the entire receipt not just the barcode like at Walmart). Then I have to scan the individual items. Due to the pandemic I don't usually take my phone in the store with me anymore because then I have to clean it off. It's often just more hassle than it's worth. I do much better shopping the circulars at my grocery store. I know it's not meant to replace that, but the time and effort is often a lot more than what I save (and this is coming from someone who is a pretty tight budget). The freebies are nice, but Walmart often doesn't have them 🤷
