Happy to keep using befrugal for savings. Adds up quick when they offer specials. I'll pass it on to my friends. Thanks
Good service earned cash back made about a year of purchases and got what they promised it is so awesome i recommend using every time you shop just install the extension for google chrome they also give you coupon codes for sites you are shopping on
I tried BeFrugal and like other sites seemed easy to use. Spent quite a bit over the holidays. When it came time for my payment it said my PAYPAL would not accept my request. I tried other methods and it would not accept those. As it sits my money in their account and it says I have money owed to me and pending for five months now but will not release it to me. How terrible this site is. Back shopping at Rakuten!
I did purchase from HP website going through BeFrugal. It was done in December 2019 and till today (end of Feb 2020), I have not been paid. Upon raising the support ticket, they keep on saying they are still checking with HP to confirm the purchase. I have been using other cashback site rakuten, topcashback for many years and have never experienced this pathetic treatment. I would not recommend anybody use befrugal.
Too rude and too many requests for information. When it's time to pay cashback, First they ask phone number then they send a big email asking for name address and everything then they ask to provide proof of purchase. Too much of a hassle. Then they suspend the account citing violation for no reason
It was very easy to request payment. It was a snap to set up and decided to take the bonus with the VISA prepaid card.
I use several of these sites and ALWAYS come back to BeFrugal because overall- they are easy to use and transparent. If they say you get 6% back- no tricks- you get what they promise!
I also love the fact I can ask for money when I want it and/or have it sent as a gift card- they make it easy.
I just requested my first payment thru a gift card. It was very easy. I am know waiting to receive it. I will let you know guys later if everthing goes okay.
My first payment was very easy and quick just requested my direct deposit payment. Just shop and get paid!
I previously had no idea what money you can save using this service. I will recommend you to all loved ones.
Terrible customer service, they tell you you didn't earn cash back because you used a coupon or something, even though no coupon was used. Neal doesn't belong in customer service, he is terrible. Will be using other cash back sites going forward.
I've made over 90.00 on Befrugal. Thank you! I see a lot of reviews saying you never get your money. I hope that's not the case.
Requested my refund be direct deposit hit the submit button and it does not seem to go through. Why?
One of the best cashback website. I never had any problem. Mostly cashback offers better than Rakuten.
Earn quick and can cash out in less than a minute. I have had no problems at all with this ad on. Always a pleasure to deal with.
I've been using "BEFRUGAL" for several years now and I'm a great fan of the site. EZ way to get some of the money you already spent back with little effort. Made over $1,000 back from discount since I started with StraightTalk Wireles. That was the best money back I've ever made without filling rebates. HIGHLY RECOMMENDING "BEFRUGAL". No bull.
It's so nice to get some money back on all of my purchases. With BeFrugal, I have had a lot of success in getting money back. I am thankful for this app!
Easy to use and usually better deals than the competition. It doesn't hurt to use. Most of the rules have changed and its very hard to get cashback from the larger retailers such as Amazon, Ebay, Best Buy, etc.
I ave had tis app for two years now and sometimes i totally forget that everytime i purcase someting on line i automatically get cash back on my befrugal app it feels good to check the app and see extra money comes inhandy especially now
Great money saving tool. Very simple to use. Prompt payment of savings. Highly recommend! It makes sense to get free cash back for buying things you need.
Answer: I had $38.24 coming back to me that I had to wait forever to get. And never got it. It finally became payable, I went to claim it, and befrugal blocked me from doing so. All the cash back disappeared. After that clicking on payments generated a 404 page. This is ridiculous. Whether it's a problem with their system or some other issue I don't know. But it really feels like they scammed me out of cash back. They won't let me log into my account now. I tried to reset my password and they won't let me do that either. A word from the wiser - Use Rakuten - they are 10 times more trustworthy than this thing. They also pay you regularly. BeFrugal is a Total scam! I read another review on Trustpilot where it says they will deactivate your account if they don't want to pay you. That's exactly what it looks like they did to me. Unbelievable.

Answer: Hi Linda, great question as we know that sometimes these permissions can look scary. The BeFrugal Automatic Coupons & Cash Back Chrome extension will apply coupons and activate Cash Back at the shopping cart of thousands of online stores. This permission just allows us to display a small notifier in your shopping cart that you click to apply the coupons and activate your Cash Back. I hope this answers your question. Happy shopping! - Chris from BeFrugal

Answer: Hi there, in order to earn cash back on your online shopping, you need to first be signed up for BeFrugal, then click the store on our website and shop as normal. We cannot issue retroactive cash back for purchases you made before becoming a BeFrugal member.
