I am a huge Ibotta fanatic and have saved hundreds and hundreds of dollars using it over the past few years. One of the best kept secrets on the app not many people know is that you can buy discounted gift cards, 24/7.
T
hat’s right. Discounted gift cards. Essentially, discounted cash.
Gift cards purchased through Ibotta can get you anywhere from 9%-10% back with select purchases. And sometimes, Ibotta runs flash deals on gift cards. I’ve gotten 15% back on a Carter’s gift card before!
So here’s the biggest Ibotta tip I have. Before checking out anywhere, check Ibotta to see if they have a discounted gift card for the store. If they do, buy a gift card for the price of your transaction through Ibotta first, then use the discounted gift card to check out. Whatever percentage you get back on a specific gift card, it will be available to you in your Ibotta wallet within minutes!
