Jell-O, Five Star, Flipz, Macy’s and More Join Ibotta to Help Families Save Money on Back to School Staples
In advance of an uncertain fall school semester, Ibotta, the leading mobile rewards platform in the United States, is joining forces with some of the biggest names in back-to-school shopping to provide financial relief to families who need it most. Ibotta has teamed up with leading brands and retailers Jell-O, ACCO Five Star, Flipz, Horizon, Macy’s, One Brands, TOMS and more for special offers and more than $10 million in cash back rewards on the most popular items in school backpacks and lunchboxes.
Through Aug. 31, shoppers will receive cash back in their Ibotta account when they purchase items from any of the 50+ participating brands and retailers or from more than 500 other cash back offerings available within the Ibotta app. From notebooks, lunchbox items and new school clothes for kids to coffee and on-the-go breakfasts for busy parents, Ibotta hopes to remove the anxiety from back-to-school shopping during a particularly stressful time for families.
“Parents are faced with unprecedented challenges heading into this school year, from keeping our kids safe and healthy while preparing for potential remote learning and finding adequate care,” said Ibotta founder and CEO Bryan Leach. “The last thing parents need to worry about is shopping for a school year that will be unlike anything we’ve ever experienced. We hope partnering with these leading brands will help remove some of the anxiety around back-to-school shopping while helping to give cash back when it’s needed most.”
“In partnership with Ibotta’s back-to-school event, Five Star is excited about the opportunity to help send students back to school with supplies as tough as them,” said Jessica Hodges, VP Marketing, Five Star. “No matter what the school year brings, Five Star can help students feel confident, organized and ready to handle anything with a wide variety of school supplies that are guaranteed to last all year.”
“At RISE Brewing Co., our goal is simple: we provide good energy for good people to do good things,” said Melissa Kalimov, COO, RISE Brewing Co. “Through our partnership with Ibotta this back-to-school season, we’re excited to fuel the minds of parents in the trenches of homeschooling, college undergrads heading back to campus, teachers crunching out lesson plans and everyone in between.”
