Up to $56 Back for Gas
This week’s mystery code is live, and the amount you unlock is random. Add the code, claim the gas offer, get a paper receipt, and submit it after your fill-up.
Here’s the quick version before you run to the pump
Ibotta is doing Mystery Gas Savings every Thursday in May starting at 10 AM MT. This week’s code is ROADTRIP19, and once you add it inside the Ibotta app, you should be able to unlock a random gas cashback offer worth up to $56 back. The important part is that you must add the access code first, claim the offer in the app, get a paper gas receipt, and then submit that receipt through Ibotta.
Why this one is worth checking right now
Gas offers can disappear quickly, and mystery-code deals tend to get slammed when everyone tries to add them at once. That means the app may lag, spin, fail, or act like nothing happened. Do not assume you missed it just because the first attempt does not work. I had to keep trying over and over, and it took me more than 40 minutes before it finally went through.
If you see an error, a loading screen, or the code does not seem to apply right away, back out and try again. This is one of those offers where patience can matter. The code is simple, but the app traffic can make the process feel anything but simple.
Important: you may have to try many times
This is the part I do not want anyone to miss. If the code does not go through the first time, keep trying. If it does not work the fifth time, keep trying. If it feels like you are doing the same thing again and again, that may be exactly what it takes. Mine took over 40 minutes, so do not give up after one attempt.
Try closing and reopening the Ibotta app, checking your connection, tapping back into your profile, and entering the access code again. The offer can be busy because so many people are trying to unlock it at the same time.
How to add ROADTRIP19 in the Ibotta app
Open the Ibotta app
Start inside the Ibotta app. If you do not have it yet, use the signup link near the bottom of this post so you are ready to claim the gas offer.
Tap your profile icon
Look in the top-left corner of the app and tap your profile icon. That is where the access-code section is usually located.
Select “Access codes”
Once you are in your profile area, choose Access codes. This is where you enter the weekly mystery gas code.
Enter ROADTRIP19
Type the code exactly as shown: ROADTRIP19. There should be no spaces. If it fails, try again. This may take repeated attempts.
Claim the gas offer
After the code applies, look for the gas cashback offer and claim it before you purchase or submit your receipt.
Get a paper receipt
When you fill up, make sure you get a paper receipt. You will need that receipt to submit your gas purchase in the app.
Submit your receipt
Upload the gas receipt in Ibotta. Cashback is generally expected to be added after submission, and the user-provided offer details say it may be added within the next 24 hours.
My best tips before you try it
First, do not wait until you are standing at the gas pump to figure this out. Add the code and claim the offer before you buy gas, because receipt offers usually need to be activated first. Second, take a clear picture of the full receipt, including the store name, date, total, and fuel purchase details. Third, keep the receipt until your cashback is confirmed in the app.
Also, remember that the cashback amount is random. Some people may see a smaller amount, while others may unlock a bigger one. The exciting part is that the offer can be worth up to $56 back, so it is absolutely worth checking if you are filling up anyway.
Which gas purchases are usually the best fit?
The screenshot says this is for Any Brand Gas and that you submit a gas receipt at an eligible location. It also lists participating gas brands such as 7-Eleven, Casey’s, Circle K, getGo, Hucks, Kwik Trip/Kwik Star, Love’s, Maverik, QuikTrip, Shell, Sheetz, Speedway, Stewart’s Shops, and Wawa. Because offers can vary by account and location, always check your own Ibotta app before purchasing.
The screenshot also notes that non-fuel purchases, convenience-store items, and car washes are excluded. In plain English, buy gas, get the paper receipt, and make sure the purchase matches the offer terms shown in your Ibotta app.
