Ibotta

Grocery offers
Welcome bonus offer

Match offers to your list before you shop and the cash adds up fast. Takes more effort than Fetch, pays a lot more.

Stack them. That's the whole trick.

None of these apps is life-changing alone. Together, on purchases you were already making, they quietly add up to real money.

1

Before you shop

Check Ibotta for grocery offers and click through Rakuten for anything online. 60 seconds, tops.

2

On the way

Open Upside and claim a gas offer before you pump. This is the single biggest payout per use.

3

After checkout

Snap the receipt in Fetch. Every receipt, every time. It's the free layer on top of everything else.

Beyond cashback: make your money work harder

Cashback apps save you dollars. These change what your money does the other 99% of the time.
