Launched on the retailer’s website and mobile app, the programme is an expansion of the two companies’ collaboration, which began in 2018.
Walmart US executive vice-president and chief customer officer Janey Whiteside said: “We’re pleased to partner with Ibotta to bring unmatched digital offers to Walmart shoppers while still giving customers a consistent way to save.
“The partnership is a win-win. We’re able to find new and exciting ways to help customers save even more with Walmart, all while propelling our business forward, driving loyalty and creating new ways for us to engage suppliers.”
Under the terms of the agreement, Walmart will join the Ibotta Performance Network (IPN).
