ibotta is a new and free smart phone app that lets you earn real money for items you purchase at any Target, Walgreens, or Walmart, Kroger or Safeway stores.

Once you sign up, ibotta will start showing you offers you can redeem and how you can earn money for each particular item. You can earn money for taking polls, answering trivia, learning product facts, watching videos, and posting what you plan to buy on your Facebook wall. Then, when you purchase a qualifying item, just take a picture of your receipt with the app and ibotta will credit your account within 24 hours. (It does appear that you can use coupons with the offers as well!)  Once you earn $5,your money can be deposited into your PayPal account or donated to the school of your choice.

For a limited time, you will earn $5 just for signing up today with ibotta–when you use this link.
