Ibotta is teaming up with Walmart and brands like Campbell's, Butterball and Coca-Cola to launch a program that aims to provide free Thanksgiving meals to at least 1 million American households this year.

The shopping app, which has been downloaded over 40 million times, offers users a 100% refund on nine staples for their Thanksgiving dinner, including over 200 varieties of Butterball and whole poultry roasted meats when purchased from Walmart or through the delivery services of the retailer.

Here is a complete list of the products on offer:

• Campbell's Cream of Mushroom Soup (10,5 oz can)
• 2 liter bottle of Coca-Cola
• all varieties of roasted turkey for 3 lb Butterball or $ 9,98 cashback for all whole Butterball turkeys
• McCormick turkey dressing (0,87 oz. pack)
• French crispy onions (2,8 oz pack)
• Idahoan Instant Mashed Potatoes (8 oz pack)
• Great Value filling (6 oz pack)
• Great Value cranberry sauce (14 oz can)
• Frozen Great Value Green Beans (12 oz. bag)

The program will officially launch at Walmart and the Ibotta app on Sunday, November 1st.

“This is a really tough year for a lot of people,” said Brian Leach, CEO and founder of Ibotta. “Americans are grappling with a resurgence of COVID-19 cases, and the country is locked in an incredibly contentious and divisive election.”

To take advantage of the holiday cashback offer, new users need to download the Ibotta app, unlock the offer, and purchase Thanksgiving merchandise at Walmart. After purchase, you will need to scan a receipt and link it to your Walmart Grocery account to confirm purchases.

Current users of the Ibotta app will also need to confirm their purchases. All users can only receive one cashback per item per family or Ibotta account. The maximum cashback is $ 20,27.

“After months of uncertainty and financial stress, this will help ensure Americans across the country have a good meal to eat at the Thanksgiving table,” said Whitney Arthur, director of marketing at Coca-Cola.

The program, which Leach calls "the first of its kind", will work as long as there is stock. Ibotta says it will determine if any restrictions are needed based on user demand and metrics, and clarifies: the availability of additional items such as a bag of gravy and cranberry sauce may be limited, but the company will try to preserve essential elements such as turkey. stuffing, etc.

“We cannot give away 50 million goods. But I think a million is the minimum,” Leach says. “I would really love it if this program went viral.”

In addition to cash back rewards, Ibotta will also donate 150 meals to Feeding America to help with hunger relief. “We wanted to do something that could reach at least a million Americans. That meant looking at a multi-pronged strategy,” says Leach.
