| How To Use Ibotta With Walmart Delivery |
Step 1: Get Started with Ibotta and Walmart (If You Haven't Already!)
First things first, let's make sure you're set up for success.
Sub-heading: Download the Ibotta App
The journey to cash back begins with the Ibotta app. If you don't already have it, head to your device's app store (App Store for iOS or Google Play Store for Android) and search for "Ibotta: Save & Earn Cash Back." Download and install it.
Sub-heading: Create Your Ibotta Account
Once the app is installed, open it and follow the prompts to create your free Ibotta account. This usually involves providing an email address and creating a password. Don't skip this step! This is where all your hard-earned cash back will accumulate.
Sub-heading: Set Up Your Walmart Account
Similarly, ensure you have a Walmart.com account set up and ready for online orders. If you don't, visit Walmart.com or download the Walmart app and create one. This is crucial for linking the two services. Make sure you have a payment method saved to your Walmart account.
Step 2: Linking Your Ibotta and Walmart Accounts – The Crucial Connection
Tip: A slow, careful read can save re-reading later.
This is arguably the most important step for seamless cash back on your Walmart delivery orders. Linking your accounts allows Ibotta to automatically track your qualifying purchases, eliminating the need for manual receipt scanning for delivery orders.
Sub-heading: Navigate to Walmart in the Ibotta App
Open the Ibotta app.
On the home screen, you'll likely see a "Shop by Category" menu or a search bar. Use the search bar to find "Walmart" or look for it under the "Grocery pickup & delivery" category.
Make sure you select the "Online" or "Grocery pickup & delivery" option for Walmart, not the "In-store" option, as we're focusing on delivery here.
Sub-heading: Link Your Walmart Account
Once you're on the Walmart online page within the Ibotta app, you should see an option to "Link account" or a similar prompt at the top of the page. Tap on it.
You will then be prompted to log in to your Walmart.com account. Enter your Walmart email address and password.
Crucially, you may be asked to allow Ibotta to receive your purchase history. Toggle the "Share purchase history?" option to the right to ensure Ibotta can track your eligible purchases.
Once successfully linked, you'll see a confirmation message. This connection is secure and only shares purchase data relevant to Ibotta offers.
Step 3: Browse and Add Offers Before You Shop
This is where the fun begins – finding those cash back opportunities! Always add offers to "Your List" in Ibotta BEFORE you place your Walmart delivery order. Offers added after your purchase may not be eligible for cash back.
Sub-heading: Explore Walmart-Specific Offers
With your Walmart account linked, stay on the Walmart online page in the Ibotta app.
Browse through the available offers. You'll find a wide variety, from specific brand products to "any brand" offers on common grocery items (like "any brand milk" or "any brand bread").
Pay attention to the details of each offer. Some may have purchase limits, specific sizes, or other requirements.
Sub-heading: Add Offers to Your List
When you find an offer you want to redeem, simply tap the "+" (plus) button next to it. This adds the offer to "Your List."
The plus sign will turn into a checkmark, indicating the offer is now on your list.
Continue adding all the offers for items you plan to purchase in your Walmart delivery order.
Step 4: Shop Your Walmart Delivery Order
Now that your accounts are linked and offers are added, it's time to shop!
Sub-heading: Initiate Your Order Through Walmart
QuickTip: Stop to think as you go.
You can initiate your Walmart delivery order either directly from the Walmart section within the Ibotta app (by tapping "Shop") or by going directly to the Walmart app/website. Since your accounts are linked, Ibotta will track your purchase regardless of where you start.
Add all the items from your shopping list (including those for which you've added Ibotta offers) to your Walmart cart.
Proceed to checkout as you normally would for a Walmart delivery order.
Ensure you use the same Walmart account that you linked to Ibotta and the payment method associated with that account.
Sub-heading: Pay and Confirm Your Order
Select your desired delivery time slot and complete the checkout process on Walmart's platform.
Once your order is placed, Walmart will provide you with an order confirmation.
Step 5: Receive Your Delivery and Get Your Cash Back!
The easiest part! Once your order is delivered, Ibotta works its magic.

Sub-heading: Automated Cash Back
After your Walmart delivery order is complete and you've received your items, Ibotta will automatically process your purchase.
Cash back from grocery pickup & delivery purchases typically appears in your Ibotta account within 72 hours (3 days). You can check your Ibotta "Earnings" section for updates.
No need to scan a receipt for delivery orders when your accounts are linked! That's the beauty of this integration.
Sub-heading: Troubleshooting and Checking Earnings
If you don't see your cash back within the expected timeframe, don't panic!
Check your Ibotta app's "Earnings" section. Sometimes, offers might be pending.
Double-check that your Walmart account is still linked correctly.
Review the offer details in Ibotta to ensure your purchase met all requirements (e.g., correct product size, quantity).
If issues persist, refer to the FAQ section below or contact Ibotta support.
Step 6: Withdraw Your Earnings
Once your Ibotta earnings reach the minimum threshold (typically $20), you can withdraw your cash!
Sub-heading: Choose Your Payout Method
In the Ibotta app, navigate to your "Earnings" or "Account" section.
You'll have options to withdraw your earnings via:
PayPal
Direct Deposit to your bank account
Various Gift Cards (e.g., Walmart, Amazon, Starbucks)
Sub-heading: Enjoy Your Savings!
Select your preferred method and follow the prompts to transfer your cash. Congratulations! You've successfully used Ibotta with Walmart delivery to save money on your groceries and household essentials. Keep checking Ibotta for new offers to keep those savings rolling in!

How to ensure I get all my Ibotta cash back on my Walmart delivery order?
Always link your Walmart account to Ibotta before you shop, and always add all desired offers to "Your List" in the Ibotta app before you place your Walmart delivery order. Double-check offer details for any specific requirements.
How to resolve missing cash back from a Walmart delivery order?
QuickTip: Every section builds on the last.
First, check your Ibotta "Earnings" to see if it's pending. Verify your Walmart account is linked and that you added the offers before purchasing. Also, ensure no substitutions were made for the specific items with offers. If issues persist, contact Ibotta customer support.
How to know if an Ibotta offer is valid for Walmart delivery?
When Browse offers in Ibotta, go to the "Walmart" retailer page and specifically select the "Online" or "Grocery pickup & delivery" option. The offers shown here are generally valid for delivery and pickup.
How to get Ibotta bonuses with Walmart delivery?
Ibotta often has "bonuses" where you earn extra cash for redeeming a certain number of offers or specific offers. To get these with Walmart delivery, ensure your account is linked, and you add the qualifying offers to your list and purchase them as part of your delivery order.

If an item with an Ibotta offer is substituted in your Walmart delivery order, the substituted item will not qualify for the Ibotta cash back offer. Only the exact item that matches the offer is eligible.
How to combine Ibotta with Walmart's own savings programs (like Walmart Cash)?
Ibotta focuses on specific product rebates. Walmart Cash is a separate program. While you can use both, they operate independently.

Prioritize which savings you want to receive for a particular item.
