Ibotta Send Invite: Earn Money For Texting Friends

Here's an interesting new feature that rolled out on the Ibotta app this afternoon -- a Send Invite button, which earns users $1 every time they text five friends with an invitation!

The Send Invite button won't be on all Ibotta offers, and you do need to purchase the item featured in order to earn the extra buck.



The Send Invite button is receiving some mixed feedback on the Ibotta Facebook page, with some readers equating it to spamming your friends.

I personally think it's a great way to earn a little extra cash on offers I was already going to take advantage of...but it's entirely possible that I know WAY more couponers than the average Ibotta user!

What do you think?  Will you embrace this new feature as an additional way to earn cash back on Ibotta, or do you think it's too invasive?  I'm genuinely interested in how people respond to this rollout.
