(The consumer indicated he/she DID NOT accept the response from the business.)
This does not address HOW the company addresses flagging user accounts for reviewHad the process been designed to be user-centric, then Ibotta would be a decent one to do business withInstead, I was treated like a criminal and simply told my account was locked and to contact customer support (the same e-mail quoted in the business' reply)Until the process is changed I will not accept the business' response
