Yahoo!! The great  Ibotta iPhone app (one of my personal favorite apps!) is launching with 3 new retailers today, CVS, Publix and Vons! That means you can now earn cash when you purchase products at these 3 stores in addition to Walgreens, Target, Walmart and several other retailers.

And if you have yet to download and use this Ibotta app, now is your chance to do so and snag $5 cash. To qualify for the FREE $5 cash, you must sign up for an Ibotta account by clicking through this link and then you must redeem at least one successful offer from the Ibotta Product Gallery by uploading a receipt and receiving cash on your Ibotta account. What a great way to earn money to pay for stocking stuffers and even Christmas gifts.

Here’s how it works:

Head over here and download the Ibotta app for FREE (note that this app is currently only compatible with iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, iPod touch – 3rd generation, iPod touch – 4th generation, iPod touch – 5th generation and iPad and does requires iOS 5.0 or later). Ibotta for Android users will be coming soon (you can head over here and click on the “Get on the List” link in the bottom left corner to be notified as soon as the Android version is available which will be no later than the end of this year!).

1. Browse featured products and earn cash – The app is very user-friendly and simple to use. I like the simplicity of the interface. You can simply swipe and browse through a large library of products.
You can also earn money by performing simple tasks. Watch a short video commercial. Earn cash. Learn an interesting product fact. Earn cash. Answer a question about a product. Earn cash. Yes, it is really that easy. Each product listed has a cash back dollar amount associated with it.
For example, maybe your favorite toothpaste is listed with a $1.00 cash back tag. You select that product along with others and create a shopping list. If your complete cash back value adds up to $10, you can earn that amount in your account in as little as 24 hours.

2. Purchase featured products at major retailers – Now that you have your shopping list on your iPhone, the next step is to buy the items at an approved retailer. At the time of launch, iBotta supports purchases made at Walmart, Target and Walgreens. They are also actively pursuing other retailers as well. You can check off the items on your iPhone as you place them in your cart.

3. Snap a photo of your receipt – After you make all of your purchases, take a moment and snap a picture of your receipt with your iBotta app. Once that is done, sit back and wait for your cash.

4. Get cold, hard cash deposited in your account within 24 hours – This is the beauty of the system. No mailing in rebates and waiting 4 weeks to receive your cash back. iBotta will credit your account within 24 hours.

From there, you have two choices. The first option is to have your cash deposited into your Paypal account. You can immediately use the cash however you want.
The second choice is to donate the money you have earned to the school of your choice. This is an awesome way to donate money to a local school. The school does not have to sign up in order to receive donations
