Ibotta offers the ultimate deal — a free turkey meal for Thanksgiving

For the third 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 and existing Ibotta users starting November 1, 2022. The offer runs through November 23rd, 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.

How to get 100% cash back on Thanksgiving dinner with Ibotta

This is how the offer works:
Ibotta is giving you refund on the essential items you need to make a turkey dinner for the family.

Step One
The first thing you’ll do is sign up for an Ibotta account, if you don’t already have one. Register here.

Step Two
Next, sign into the app or browser extension and look for the FREE Thanksgiving offers. 

The following items are available for 100% cash back.
TIP: Always scan the barcode in-store via the Ibotta app to ensure you’re purchasing the correct qualifying item. 

Butterball Turkey  — up to $14 cash back

Bob Evans Original Mashed Potatoes* (24-oz.) — $4 cash back 

Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix (8.5-oz.) — 65 cents cash back

McCormick Gravy Mix (.87-oz.) — $1.40 cash back

Kuner’s Green Beans (14.5-oz.) — $1.50 cash back

Note: Cranberry sauce will replace Bob Evans mashed potatoes once the potato stock runs out — FREE Ocean Spray Cranberry Sauce (14-oz. can) for $2 cash back.

*The offer is also valid on select Bob Evans varieties, including Bob Evans Mashed Cauliflower (12-oz.), Bob Evans Pork Sausage (12- to 16-oz.) or Owens Pork Sausage (12- to 16-oz.)

Step Three
Follow the instructions to add all (or as many as you want) of the offers to your account. 

Step Four
Shop in-store with the Ibotta app and be sure to get a receipt (or link your grocery account online with Ibotta)
NOTE: Linking your account may take a little time, and you have to follow specific rules for redeeming offers bought online, so be sure to read the Ibotta  instructions ahead of time.

Offer details that are new for 2022

Which grocery stores to use:
In contrast with past years, when deals were offered only at specific retailers, you can shop the offers at multiple grocery stores — in-store, pickup or delivery. The Ibotta app will show the stores where the offers can be redeemed.

The offer is NOT valid for purchases made at the following grocery stores:
Aldi, BJ’s Warehouse, Costco, Dollar General, Dollar Tree, Family Dollar, Fresh Thyme, Natural Grocers, Sam’s Club, Sprouts Farmers Market, Whole Foods Market, Trader Joe’s,  and Vitamin Shoppe. In addition, convenience stores are excluded. 

Different details for new and existing Ibotta users:
For some reason, the promotion works differently depending on if you’re just signing up for Ibotta or if you’re already using the app. the promo is New members access all of the offers immediately upon sign-up. Existing users have to “earn” the Thanksgiving offers by redeeming other offers first. The number of offers required to unlock the deal varies by user. (Yes, this is complicated.)

Offer details specific to new Ibotta users:
New Ibotta members will have access to 100% cash back offers for a turkey and sides at sign-up.

Redemption steps for existing Ibotta users:
• Open the Ibotta app, website or browser extension.
• Redeem enough offers* to unlock the “Butterball Turkey Offer”.
• Add the Butterball Turkey Offer to your list.
• Purchase the Butterball Turkey.
• Scan your receipt showing the Butterball Turkey for in-store purchase or link your online grocery account.
• Upon completing the Butterball Turkey Offer, you will get access to the “Sides Offers”. You may then redeem enough offers* to unlock the cash back offers for the sides. 

*The number of redemptions needed to unlock each bonus varies by user. 

Important notes about the Ibotta FREE Thanksgiving dinner offer

Remember, the FREE Thanksgiving offer is while supplies last, so you don’t want to sleep on this deal. 

The Ibotta app works by giving you cash back after you pay for your items, so you will need to be prepared to pay for them up front. However, since you’re getting 100% cash back on the items, it is essentially a FREE Thanksgiving dinner. (Also, you can only withdraw your cash back savings from Ibotta when your balance reaches $20 or more.)

In every case, check the offer details and scan the barcode in-store to make sure the item you’re buying qualifies for the rebate. In some cases there may be variations on an item with similar packaging, but a different barcode.

There is a limit of one rebate per product. If you buy more than one of a product or you get a larger turkey, you won’t get the 100% cash back on the additional product or extra cost. You can get up to $14 back on a turkey.
