★★★★ Ninja Kevin 5/5/2026 v1.1.11
very complicated to save $0.50 off items. just make it $0.50 cheaper in store instead of sending me special promo code, then clicking so many menus, then have to accumulate $20 in savings, then need to claim a visa card, then need to spend more money to redeem it. definitely a scam
★★★★ Denise (Dee) 4/24/2026 v1.1.10
A bit confusing how this app is used and also a bit glitchy. do we tap the barcode. and then have to pay with the card set up in wallet. which btw doesn't work after set up. UX can really be improved.
★★★★ David Jobling 4/20/2026 v1.1.10
It has one of those pulse functions you can't turn off - so every button you press the phone has a little vibration. Horrible if you don't like that sort of thing. It does not record each purchase even if you scan it at the checkout. Sometimes it seems that the checkout assistant doesn't really care to make sure it registers. But overall this is a messy App that promises rewards but delivers not much at all. So unreliable it isn't worth the effort.
★★★★ Connie Parker 4/11/2026
it refused to let me enter the correct date of birth
★★★★ Roxanne 4/1/2026 v1.1.8
Not available in Tasmania, not easy to find list of participating stores.
★★★★ Melisa Soria 3/11/2026
Extremely unstable on my device, occasionally causes the whole phone to freeze and I need to force shut down the entire device.
★★★★ Dan Pietrobelli 2/23/2026 v1.1.5
pretty pointless. I don't shop at IGA except for beer and fish and chips and I try not to as much as I can. The bigger supermarkets have more variety and more relevant rewards and I have no interest in studying this app or another comparing where I'm going to shop for what item. I understand exactly how the rewards system works. IGA cash back is useless to me because I shop elsewhere as it is cheaper for most items and other loyalty points are more valuable to me with their own cash back rewards
★★★★ BrianW 1/23/2026
can't even find its head office in Cremorne NSW
★★★★ Bethany Gordon 1/6/2026 v1.1.5
My local IGA was giving out these leaflets promoting the new IGA Cash Back scheme. However when I went to join my local isn't even listed as a participating store! Why aren't all IGA stores included? It's bad enough rural areas are forced to pay exorbitant prices for low-quality produce, now we're excluded from your rewards programme.
★★★★ Life Walk 12/19/2025 v1.1.5
can't get it to log in. Tried everything..
★★★★ Chris 12/5/2025 v1.1.4
Hardly a rewards program. Not worth the effort of even scanning, tiny discounts only when you buy very specific products. Honestly don't know why they bothered building an app with such a weak loyalty proposition.
★★★★ Girlie HUNTINGTON 11/18/2025 v1.1.3
terrible does not have list on it
★★★★ Pinky M 11/12/2025
kept saying my card number was wrong. I gave up
★★★★ Pat M 11/12/2025 v1.1.3
Still hopeless, sends sms each time you TRY to sign in and won't accept their own sms code. Definitely will uninstall and never again
★★★★ Deb L 11/8/2025
tried to log in and got message to say wrong email or password, so clicked on "forgot my password" and keep getting an error message. can't even get started, so not much good to me....
★★★★ Kevin Murray 11/8/2025 v1.1.3
Verification code now working. A bad sign.
★★★★ T Bells 11/3/2025 v1.1.3
Tried to log in after installing app, sent me a code which I entered but the app does nothing when I click verify except says I need to enter the code, that's already entered in the code boxes? Tried 'resend code' hoping to get a new code to enter but it just resends same code and still does nothing. Annoying af, don't waste your time
★★★★ Elaine Woodhead 10/30/2025 v1.1.2
can't proceed
★★★★ Gloria Dittko 10/14/2025 v1.0.10
So all of a sudden "this app is no longer compatible with your phone" after trying conscientiously to achieve a $20 bonus and not being able to redeem it, NOT HAPPY JAN ......
★★★★ JulieKay MARINUCCI 10/1/2025
no good 😕
★★★★ Barbara Morse 9/29/2025
can't enter my card number tells me it's invalid number on card
★★★★ Mary Constable 9/20/2025
went to download ,but can't as it's putting up msg that this app isn't compatible with my device . not happy.
★★★★ Bradley Nicholls 8/30/2025 v1.1.0
What's the point! Every time I open the app I have to login with my password and get a 2FA code! Seriously, it's a shopping app. Oh yeah, about that, you can't even shop within the app. In conclusion, it is pointless.
★★★★ jessica cavallo 8/6/2025 v1.0.12
i,ve had problems with logging into the app where its stopped working so I uninstalled the app and reinstalled it to getting the same issue. when will this be fixed?
★★★★ David Nash 8/1/2025 v1.0.12
I registered my phone number and it sent me a code. I didn't enter the code in time and when I try to resend the code it says my number is already in use. It is, by me! Just send me the code!
★★★★ JoAnne McKell 7/29/2025 v1.0.12
IGA Cash Back Rewards app works perfectly fine, but the concept is poor as the weekly Rewards Offers are a complete waste of time as they are not items that I have ever bought OR would ever buy! Other Supermarket's Member's Rewards Offers are based upon products that I have previously purchased OR similar products that I might buy so therefore they are of value to me. Due to the IGA Rewards Offers being of no value to me I've not earned any Cash Back rewards to use in their supermarkets to date.
★★★★ Neil Cater 7/4/2025 v1.0.12
appalling. I have a card accepted at the checkout for 2 years. Rewards app won't recognise yet the counter does. Amateur hour....... no help line, no contact numbers in app.
★★★★ Nikiforos Papanagis 7/4/2025 v1.0.12
doesn't work. I got a card in store and the card number isn't recognized by the app. pointless app.
★★★★ Allissa Jaouhara 7/1/2025 v1.0.12
won't send the code coz my number is already in use !!! yeh it's my account!!! what a joke!
★★★★ Zoe Rowling 6/18/2025 v1.0.12
faulty app, everytime I try to use this app i sign in using my email then put the code in that was sent to my mobile then it boots me out and makes me sign in and put another code in. it won't let me sign in at all.
★★★★ Veni Sipis 5/22/2025 v1.0.8
I had install and uninstall the app 5 times. I put all my details I registered and tells me about my mobile number in use when I had to uninstall it again
★★★★ Dr. Manilal Biswas 5/19/2025 v1.0.7
not functional on android.
★★★★ ashlee harris 5/13/2025 v1.0.7
crashes every time I open wallet
★★★★ Tess Hosking 5/12/2025
I couldn't exit the app and it froze and crashed my entire phone.
★★★★★ Karin Iles 1/18/2026 v1.1.5
so easy to get rewards but ... now I use my iga visa as I my phone hasn't got tap pay on it.. ripped off .. I need to use it but no I had work out with nothing.. why cant you just put it on your rewards card.
★★★★★ Shelagh Banner 11/30/2025
difficult to use. wont work on my Galaxy fold. not all purchases go towards cash back.
★★★★★ Louise Mechlowski 11/21/2025 v1.1.3
not great concept really only get points or cash back on specific products changed the concept to make it similar to everyday rewards and coles reward.
★★★★★ Adam 9/23/2025
Not a user friendly app. Difficult to even change rewards card numbers.
★★★★★ Steven Wolhuter (Stabber Steve) 9/19/2025 v1.1.2
very hard to get any thing on this app
★★★★★ Michael Spencer 6/26/2025 v1.0.12
Good app but annoying that you need to sign in each time and have to verify via SMS. Please either allow biometrics to sign back in without password and verification or at least implement the SMS Retrieval API so that we don't have to manually input the sms verification code.
★★★★★ Christine McElhinney 6/12/2025 v1.0.12
cannot enter date of birth.
