Common Questions

Q: Wait, where can I find my referral code?

A: You can find your personal referral code by heading to your Account in the Ibotta app and tapping Invite friends. From here, you can copy your referral code, or send it directly through text, email, Facebook, Twitter and more.

Q: Where can I promote my referral code?

A: Social media is a great place to share your code! Just copy it from the app to post on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and more.

Q: My friend registered a new account. Why haven’t I received credit yet?

A: Check that your friend is new to Ibotta and has logged in from a device that is not associated with another Ibotta account. Then, your friend must successfully redeem an offer before you’ll receive credit for the referral. You won’t receive credit from just their registration. Also, let them know that Any Brand and Any Receipt offers are not eligible.

Q: Is there a limit to how many friends I can refer?

A: There is no limit – refer as many friends as you’d like! The more friends who sign up and redeem using your referral code, the more cash back you’ll earn.

Q: I followed all the steps but still hit a snag. What now?

A: If you need extra help, you can always visit our Help Center or contact Ibotta Care.
