Step-by-Step Guide: How to Link Your Meijer Account to Ibotta
This guide assumes you already have both an Ibotta account and a Meijer mPerks account. If not, you'll need to create those first.
Step 1: Open Your Ibotta App and Get Ready to Save!
Engage with the App: So, you're ready to start earning cash back, right? Fantastic! First things first, grab your smartphone and open the Ibotta app. You'll typically find it on your home screen or in your app drawer. If you don't have it downloaded, head to your device's app store (Google Play Store for Android, Apple App Store for iOS) and search for "Ibotta." Download and install it, then sign up for a free account.
Step 2: Navigate to the Meijer Retailer Page
Tip: Reread complex ideas to fully understand them.
Finding Your Favorite Store: Once you're in the Ibotta app, you'll see a variety of retailers.
Look for the "Grocery" or "Shop by category" section on the home screen.
You can also use the search bar at the top of the app to quickly find "Meijer."
Tap on the Meijer icon to go to its dedicated page within the Ibotta app. This is where you'll see all the available offers for Meijer.
Step 3: Initiate the Account Linking Process
Locate the "Link Account" Button: On the Meijer retailer page in the Ibotta app, look for a prominent button or banner that says "Link account" or something similar. This is usually located near the top of the screen.
Important Note: If you don't see this option, it might be that Meijer is currently a receipt-submission-only retailer, or there could be a temporary technical issue. However, Meijer generally supports loyalty linking.
Step 4: Enter Your Meijer mPerks Account Information
Securely Connect: Tapping "Link account" will prompt you to enter your Meijer mPerks login credentials. This is where you'll put in the email address or phone number associated with your mPerks account and your mPerks password.
Accuracy is Key: Double-check that you're entering the correct information. Even a small typo can prevent the accounts from linking successfully.
Troubleshooting Tip: If you're unsure of your mPerks details, you might need to log into the Meijer app or website first to confirm them.
Step 5: Review and Confirm
Terms and Conditions: You may be asked to review and agree to certain terms and conditions related to linking your accounts. Take a moment to read through them.
Confirmation Message: Once you've entered your information and agreed to any terms, Ibotta will attempt to link your accounts. You should receive a confirmation message stating that your Meijer account has been successfully linked. This message usually appears as a pop-up or a banner at the top of the screen.
Success! You've done it! Your Meijer mPerks account is now connected to your Ibotta account.
Step 6: Add Offers Before You Shop!
Crucial Step for Earnings: Even with a linked account, you must add offers to your Ibotta list before you shop at Meijer. This is how Ibotta knows which cash back opportunities you're interested in.
Browse through the Meijer offers in the Ibotta app.
Tap the "+" (plus sign) next to any offers for products you plan to buy. This adds them to "Your list."
Pro Tip: Get into the habit of checking Ibotta for new offers regularly, especially before your Meijer grocery runs.

Step 7: Shop at Meijer and Use Your mPerks!
Shop as Usual: Go to your local Meijer store and purchase the items you've added to your Ibotta list.
Scan Your mPerks: At checkout, make sure to scan your mPerks card or enter the phone number associated with your mPerks account. This is how Meijer communicates your purchase data to Ibotta.
Do NOT Forget Your mPerks! If you don't use your mPerks at checkout, Ibotta won't receive the electronic receipt information, and you won't get your automatic cash back.
QuickTip: Skim for bold or italicized words.
Step 8: Watch Your Cash Back Grow!
Automatic Earnings: Ibotta will automatically match your qualifying purchases with the offers you added to your list.
Earnings in Your Account: Your cash back will then be deposited into your Ibotta account, typically within 24 hours (though sometimes it can take a bit longer). You can check your "Earnings" or "Activity" section in the Ibotta app to see your pending and confirmed cash back.
