The company has garnered a mixed reputation among its customers.

I changed my cash back service to Befrugal recently and I am happy with my cash back transactions so far. I am sure I will get more cash back at the end of this year for holiday seasons. Thanks!

Frustrating
November 1, 2020

I went through Be Frugal for a ton of Home Depot purchases and it turns out I got credit for none of them, it should have been like $300 cash back. I spent a lot of time opening up case after case for every transaction and every single case was denied and I have no recourse anymore. Huge waste of time.

I love this website! I recommend it! Their cashback percentage rates are usually higher than their competitors' rates. Requesting payment is quick and easy.

I was saddened when RadioShack filed for bankruptcy and closed most of its stores. Their reorganization is moving along and they have a great website with many parts and the... stuff RS was known for On Sale. The return policy is generous, with them paying the return shipping as well. Though you won't find a lot in some categories, what remains is a great deal when you consider that ordering from AliExpress takes weeks. Get the goods while you can, I don't know if the website is a permanent fixture of the reorganized company. Read more

Pathetic site.
October 13, 2020

Pathetic site. Deactivates the account with any reason and doesn't reply to tickets or give reason for deactivation. Never used referral or gave referral to anyone, only have one account.
Deactivated the account as soon as I cashed out via bank transfer.
They'll just copy paste that you violated a policy and would stop responding the moment you ask for which policy was violated. Same is the case for live chat. Doesn't respond you once you start asking questions.

Just go for topcashback or rakuten. Avoid befrugal.

Update: approx 20 days and still not responding. Raised multiple tickets. That tells how pathetic they are.

Lots of cash back %
August 29, 2020

It takes some time to get your $$ back but the cashback %%% is better than other places so it is worth the wait. Make sure you don't have other cashback websites open or you will not get your cashback purchase approved by Be Frugal.

Dishonest Company
August 18, 2020

BeFrugal "claims" you didn't activate their site when you KNOW you did then denies your money. Maybe they keep it? It has happened twice & cost me almost $100! Use another cash back site. I've never had a problem with TopCashBack or RetailMeNot. BeFrugal is very shady!
