About a month ago, the Ibotta app targeted some users with an offer for 10% cashback when buying Walmart gift cards. This deal is still going strong, but I only just realized that we’d never covered the deal here, so consider this is a heads up about this great deal.
The Deal
- Earn 10% cashback when buying Walmart gift cards in the Ibotta app.
- My Ibotta referral link.
Key Terms
- Limit $250 per day.
Quick Thoughts
Ibotta used to have a feature called Pay With Ibotta, but they’ve just renamed it ‘Gift Cards’. To access that section of the app, scroll down on the home screen to the ‘Shop By Category’ section and select ‘Gift Cards’.
Ibotta tends to sort the list by placing the gift cards brands with an increased cashback rate at the top, but if you don’t see Walmart then you can sort it by ‘Z to A’.
This offer sadly isn’t available to everyone. For starters, some Ibotta accounts don’t actually have the gift cards option available for some reason. For those that do, some will only earn 0.5% cashback when buying Walmart gift cards (I fall into that category).
Others are targeted for 5% cashback which is still pretty good, but then there are those – like my wife – who are lucky enough to be targeted for 10% cashback.
There’s a daily limit of $250 per day which is a fairly generous limit considering the fact that this offer has been around for the last month. The slight downside is that Ibotta no longer accepts credit card payment for gift cards in the app – you have to pay with a debit card. Discover debit cards earning 1% don’t work to the best of my knowledge, but you might have luck with other debit cards offering cashback to make it even more rewarding.

[…] (Targeted) Ibotta: Earn 10% Cashback On Walmart Gift Cards (Limit $250 Per Day) […]
[…] If you’re not familiar with how Ibotta works, the app has a few different features. We’ve written before about how you can buy gift cards in the app (although that functionality isn’t currently available on all accounts), with them currently offering some accounts 10% cashback on Walmart gift cards. […]
As a DP, I got my ibotta account shutdown after one attempt using PPK.
can you still purchase third party gift cards online and in-store with a walmart gift card?
I don’t know about in-person, but online they recently stopped allowing some 3rd party gift card purchases (like Disney), but still allow others (I’ve tried Delta and Southwest, for example)
Thank you!
[…] awesome price for getting Walmart reward playing cards. In my app I see solely 5% cashback, however Frequent Miler experiences a price of 10% cashback. Some others are seeing simply the common price of 0.5% […]
My Ibotta account shows the standard 5% off Wallymart. Still a pretty good savings. Anyone know of a bigger savings elsewhere? The best that GiftCardWiki shows is 2.2% at Raise.
[…] people are seeing a great rate for buying Walmart gift cards. In my app I see only 5% cashback, but Frequent Miler reports a rate of 10% cashback. Some others are seeing just the regular rate of 0.5% […]
It worked with my PayPal key as well!
Maybe using a credit card through PayPal key will work.
Yep, I just confirmed it does (and posted about it on DoC as well). Used my BofA Premium Rewards. BTW, 10% @ibotta for me!
Ok thanks for the dp. I’m going to use chase freedom since it’s 5% back on paypal. 10% + 5% cashback for Walmart is great!
How do you use Paypal key? The only options I have to pay for the gift card on my Ibotta app are a debit card or Google Pay. I tried Google Pay and Ibotta gives me an error message, even though I am using a CC (BOA Premium Rewards) that I have set up as my default to take payments. I tried using another credit card (Chase SP) but it also didn’t work.
Login to Paypal, find the place where it talks about Paypal Key, and select which card you want it to use. It will give you a MasterCard virtual number, expiration date, and security code. Then use that in ibotta as a Debit Card and it should work.
And this doesn’t come off the card as a cash advance?
I can not say for absolute sure yet because the charge is still pending. But the $250 has come off my “Total credit available” balance and has not come off my “Cash credit line available“so I think I am good to go with no cash advance.
Thanks!
Thanks!
