Editor’s Note: Supplies ran out, and Ibotta Days has concluded. But there’s still some good news. Ibotta has a new promotion called Friendsgiving. You can earn $50 for referring five friends. Not bad, right?

These days, it’s rare I spend money on anything that doesn’t earn me some type of cash back.

My go-to is my rewards credit card, which grants me points for travel. Super passive. I love it. Then I stack the savings with Ibotta, an app that rewards me in cold, hard cash.

I took notes from my co-worker, Colleen Rice, who’s earned nearly $300 to-date.

Back in May, I started using it on groceries, but since then, more than 30 additional retailers have joined in on the rewards, and I’ve racked up nearly $100.

I don’t want to say I’m excited for holiday shopping this year… because I know it’s going to drain my bank account… but I’m excited to earn cash back on all my purchases.

And with this promotion, I’ll be able to bank even more money back.

Earn Up to 20% Cash Back During Ibotta Days

You’re thinking: Christmas shopping is a while away; Halloween just happened.

You’re right, but some of the best deals are already in full swing.

Take, for example, Ibotta Days. It’s getting the holiday-shopping party started early on Nov. 3, when you can earn up to 20% cash back on qualifying purchases.

More than 60 retailers are participating, including:

  • Amazon
  • Gap (online)
  • Groupon
  • HotelTonight
  • Jet
  • Overstock
  • PetSmart (online)
  • Target (online)
  • Ticketmaster
  • ULTA
  • Walmart (online)

Plus a ton of others.

In order to see what kind of offers are available for you, log into the Ibotta app and start perusing.

New to Ibotta? No worries. That’s actually good news, because you could be eligible for up to $20 in welcome bonuses — plus other offers.

Ibotta Days last as long as supplies do, so don’t dilly-dally.

Ready, set… start earning money back!
