Love Fetch… I usually redeem points for iTunes gift cards and it pays for Apple Music subscription. I pick up receipts from the ground (crumbled, wet) or left behind on a self check out register and my mother gives my hers. (Not ashamed to admit I’ve even grabbed one that’s sitting on the top of the trash at the grocery store). You’d be amazed at how points can multiply. I don’t buy much brand named stuff… but other people do!

Fetch has become garbage. They once paid out almost 100 points for receipts totaling over $100, and 200 points for over $200. Things changed during later updates, like scaling points down to a whopping 25 or 50, regardless of what you spend. I thought I’d scored one time after grocery shopping, spending over $150 only to scan the receipt and earn the ridiculous 25 points again. And when I scrolled through the list, they had diapers, Mountain Dew and Keebler crackers as the big point winners. Items I don’t buy. Plain ridiculous. And e-receipts weren’t connecting to Amazon half the time. (Which also only reward you about 25 points). It became pointless to continue using the app. Most of the users I knew didn’t buy any of the “bonus items” that supposedly earned you 1,000 points or more.

Separately, Ibotta never worked for me. And come to find out, it wasn’t compatible with certain phones. Show me a rewards app that actually rewards consumers with a real point system, not specialty items they’ll never purchase.

I feel this was a very well written and structured report for those interested in the cashback programs mentioned. I am on a limited income, so I look for the best deals I can find.

As I myself have used both Fetch and Ibotta this newer year of 2022 between the same time periods of January thru October mentioned in this article, I have cashed out just over $90 on Fetch Visa’s and just over $300 on Ibotta direct to my bank. This was off of a total spending of $2,850 after coupons and sales, as well as utilizing the $125 cashbacks given from my local store (only usable at their store).

Fetch is a much easier app to work with and faster at fixing errors that you may encounter now and then. Fetch is also offering more 100% free items than in the past.

Ibotta, I find has a much higher frequency of missing items that you did purchase and may take a bit more time and effort to resolve the problem. I would like to add Ibotta has fixed every error I have brought to their attention properly.

I do take the time and effort to look to see what offers are available on both programs before shopping. I am often surprised with deals that were not there yesterday and may fill my cart more with items reaching the maximum allowed in the deals. I see the value in the cashback programs, as they have all worked well for my limited disability income.
