For the fifth year, Ibotta is again offering its “Free Thanksgiving Dinner” program in an effort to feed millions of families this Thanksgiving.
The Thanksgiving FREE offer is available to NEW Ibotta users starting November 1, 2024. The offer runs through November 27th, while supplies last.
It’s a little bit of a complicated offer, but it’s worth it to get your Thanksgiving turkey and fixings for free. NOTE that this is a rebate offer — so you must be able to pay for your food upfront and wait for the refund.
In case you don’t know, Ibotta is a cash-back grocery shopping program — it is similar to Rakuten (formerly eBates) in some ways.
