| How To Remove Offers On Ibotta |
Step 1: Engage with Your Ibotta App (and Your Intentions!)
First things first: open your Ibotta app. Before we even touch a button, take a moment to consider why you want to remove an offer. Is it because you bought a different brand? Did the offer expire? Understanding your motivation can sometimes save you a step if the offer has already become ineligible.
Important Note: Removing an offer from "Your List" means it will no longer be eligible for cash back if you purchase that item. Only remove offers if you are absolutely certain you won't be redeeming them.
Step 2: Navigate to the Retailer Page
Once you're in the Ibotta app, you'll need to find the specific retailer associated with the offer you wish to remove. There are a few ways to do this:
Sub-heading: Using the Home Screen:
From the main Ibotta home screen, you'll likely see a list of your favorite retailers or categories. Scroll through these to locate the retailer where you added the offer.
Sub-heading: Utilizing the Search Bar:
If you have many retailers or are looking for a less common one, tap the magnifying glass icon (search) usually found at the top or bottom of the screen. Type in the name of the retailer (e.g., "Walmart," "Target," "Kroger"). This is often the quickest way to get to the right place.
Step 3: Access "Your List" for the Specific Retailer
Once you're on the retailer's main page within the Ibotta app, you'll see various offers. To manage the offers you've already added, you need to go to "Your List."
QuickTip: Note key words you want to remember.
Sub-heading: Locating the List Icon:
Look for a teal list icon (it often looks like a checklist or a grocery list symbol) usually located in the lower-right corner of the retailer's page. Tap on this icon. This will take you to a dedicated screen showing all the offers you've currently added for that particular store.
Step 4: Initiate the Editing Process
You're now looking at "Your List." To make changes, you'll need to enable the editing mode.
Sub-heading: Finding the "Edit" Button:
In the top-right corner of "Your List" screen, you will typically find the word "Edit". Tap on this. This action will change the appearance of your offer list, usually by adding small red circles or other indicators next to each offer.
Step 5: Select and Remove Offers
Now for the main event! With the "Edit" mode activated, you can easily remove offers.
Sub-heading: Tapping the Red Minus Icon:
Next to each offer on your list, you will now see a red minus icon (or a similar symbol, depending on your app version). Carefully tap this red minus icon next to each offer you wish to remove.
As you tap, the offer might highlight or move slightly to indicate it's been selected for removal.
Sub-heading: Confirming the Removal:
After you've selected all the offers you want to remove, look for a "Remove" button (or sometimes a "Done" or "Delete" option) that typically appears in the top-right corner of the screen. Tap this button to finalize the removal.
The selected offers will instantly disappear from your list.
Step 6: Verify Your Cleaned List
It's always a good practice to double-check your work.
Sub-heading: A Quick Glance:
After completing the removal, take a quick look at "Your List" again. Make sure all the unwanted offers are indeed gone. This helps prevent any confusion later when you're shopping.
What if I'm on the Ibotta Website?
While most Ibotta users interact with the mobile app, you can also manage some aspects of your account on their website. Removing offers on the website is even simpler:
QuickTip: The more attention, the more retention.
Sub-heading: Website Removal Process:
Go to the Ibotta website and sign in to your account.
Navigate to the retailer page.
Offers you've added to "Your List" will have a green checkmark next to them. To remove an offer, simply click on the green checkmark. It will then change to a plus (+) sign, indicating it's no longer on your list. Voila!
Understanding Offer Expiration and Relevance
It's important to remember that offers on Ibotta are dynamic. They can expire, change, or become unavailable.
Offer Expiration: Many offers have set expiration dates and times. If an offer expires, it will automatically be removed from your active list and you won't be able to redeem it. Keep an eye on the expiration dates for offers you intend to use! Sometimes popular offers can even expire early due to high redemption volume.
Personalized Offers: Ibotta aims to provide offers relevant to your shopping habits. This means your list of available offers might differ from a friend's. What you see is often based on your app usage and past redemptions.
