Tips & Ideas
There are some decent deals here for personal use, as well as some that might be break even or marginally profitable for reselling.
Note that Ibotta only lets you buy gift cards in the app with a debit card, although the PayPal Business Debit Mastercard works to earn 1% cashback. However, you’ll only earn that 1% cashback if you have an existing PayPal balance, not if it pulls the amount from your checking account. I imagine some of the newer debit cards around will work too.
If you are interested in this offer, when opening the app scroll down to the ‘Shop by category’ section and tap on ‘Gift cards.’
Any idea when Ibotta $250 per day gift card purchase limit reset happens?
I think it’s a rolling 24 hours
I read a comment somewhere on TCB Slack channel, that the limit resets at a specific time like 12:00 AM everyday. But don’t remember what that time was. So, if I placed an order at 2:00 PM EST the previous day and as an example of the reset happened at 12:00 AM EST, then technically I would be able to place another $250 GC order before the 24 hours period.
How frequently does Ibotta run these gift card deals? Monthly, quarterly, less often?
They tend to have a new batch every month. Occasionally they only do one or two brands such as DSW or Google Play. You can see historical deals here https://gcgalore.com/tag/ibotta/
