What each side gets

You (the new member): $5 welcome bonus after redeeming their first offer using your referral code
The code's owner: $10 once your referral redeems their first qualifying offer

From Ibotta's own published terms, last checked July 6, 2026. Programs change these, so the offer shown at signup is the one that counts.

How to use it

Either shape works here. If you draw a link, open it and complete signup in that session. If you draw a plain code, enter it at signup when prompted. When both are available the link is the safer choice, since it can't be forgotten halfway through registration.
