Be Frugal always seems to have the HIGHEST ca$h back ammount & ALL my favorite stores...! Their site is super simple and easy to understand & I love getting quick payments via Direct Deposit RIGHT into my bank account...! I LOVE YOU Be Frugal!
Seamless cashback account that works right in the browser. I am so happy I installed this. Effortless savings!
Overall a great platform, and if you can remember to simply activate an offer before your usual online shopping, the cashback adds up pretty quickly. If you can't remember, add the Chrome extension that automatically activates offers for you.
Love getting money back! It feels great to get a percentage of the what you spend back. I got some money back already and I am getting more today.
Collecting the most cash back on Be Frugal than any other site Ive tried. Nice that they have different payment options :)
I wish I could give them 0 star. I don't use cashback website often, and can only compare it to Ebates. During the BF season, I used the two websites. Everytime before I placed an order, I would check the cashback rate at the two websites, and use the higher one. Also, I would clear all cookies after that. It has never been a problem on ebates, and I have already received all my cashback through paypal. Quick and Accurate. But Befrugal? Some of the my cashback has never been posted. I asked them to investigate one of them, and they told me the result showed that I had clicked other websites. So, avoid them if you can. Even they may provide higher cashback rate, but it is highly possible you would get nothing.
Shopped for big item and no cash back, told I didn't go by the rules, but I did have id number of shop trip sent in receipt details, gave to me then took back.
My niece works for BeFrugal and explained how user friendly the site is. I had never used anything like this before so I was hesitant. I do a lot of online shopping as I would rather avoid the lines of people and limited availability of items. I love the percentages offered in cash back. It's surprising how fast it accumulates. I've been utilizing BeFrugal for a few years now and I'm getting money back on each purchase to use on future purchases. I have suggested the site to my co-workers and friends too.
Earn money while i shop, I love it, so will you! Easy to do, if you need help they are willing and happy to help and solve your problem.
I really liked their service and will highly recommend them to others. It was my first purchase from them
Befrugal has officially joined the list of phony cashback sites that keep your earned cashback for themselves. Stay away!
The best cashback website! Save a lot of money!
Although sometimes the cashback was missing, after it's easy to submit the problem and almost all are resolved.
Befrugal is a great site to shop with. They sometimes beat out Ebates with the percentage of pay. You can get your money pretty quickly and they have great coupons for various stores as well.
Didn't really know how much cash back I had until I checked. I buy online often and having cash back is really nice when you need it
Probably the best cashback site on the Internet. Able to get cashback on many sites, and rather quickly. Friendly customer service, as well.
This is my first time to use BeFrugal. Still not sure if there will be my cash back! If the cash back really works, I will introduce this to all of my friends!
The cash comes right when they are needed. It is really amazing cash back service. Easy to use, customer services also very good.
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: You can check out what percentage of your expenditures you will earn by searching for Travelocity on the BeFrugal website.
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.
