How Do I Recover Access to My iBotta Account?

iBotta is a free mobile coupon and cash-back shopping app that is compatible with most iOS and Android devices. Ibotta users have the opportunity to earn cash back on certain products by performing simple in-app tasks, buying the product, then providing proof of purchase.

Given the advantages of using the iBotta app, losing access to the application can be devastating. You will lose out on bonuses and other special deals.

Losing access to your iBotta account usually involves several scenarios. You should first try resetting the app if you cannot access your account. You can delete it then reinstall it. The app may malfunction if there are uninstalled updates for the app.

A common reason why you may not have access to your iBotta account is if your account has been deactivated or locked. One of the main reasons why iBotta users get locked out of their account is because of trying to access their account through a different cell phone or using a different phone number than their own.

iBotta only allows its users one account per person and per phone number. If you try to access your account on a different phone number, iBotta will flag you as someone with multiple accounts and proceed to deactivate or lock your account.

If you find yourself locked out of your account or your account has been deactivated, the only want to recover access to your account is to contact customer care and ask them to restore access to your account.

You can contact iBotta's customer service through the following ways:
