I’m not a heavy user of Ibotta (iOS, Android, would greatly appreciate if you use my referral code kfvxuq, which also gives you an extra $1), but I read a comment on Vinh’s blog informing him about a $5 rebate on $100 at Best Buy:

The post itself was a reminder to use Shopkick (my referral link) at Best Buy, which is another app I open frequently when I’m doing my MSing runs at Safeway, Target, and Simon Mall (all of these stores give points just for walking in; I don’t bother scanning UPCs) and when buying anything from Best Buy. But when I saw Amber’s comment, I quickly dusted off my Ibotta app and found the rebate for Best Buy. I had just bought JBL speakers at Best Buy exactly 6 days before (thanks Vinh and Forrest for your guidance), and Ibotta receipts must be scanned in within 1 week of purchase. My account already had $7.50 in rebates from 8-10 months ago, but you can’t cash out until you have at least $10, so my rebates have just been sitting in limbo and I didn’t really care because I couldn’t be bothered to monitor the app for new rebates that fit my purchases frequently. Anyways, I’ll definitely take an extra $5 off my JBL purchases as well as the ability to finally cash out after nearly a year, so I submitted my receipts for Best Buy and within 10 minutes, the receipts were OCR’ed and approved, and my account had $12.50. I cashed out to Venmo and received the funds instantly. Woohoo! Continue reading →
