All - YOU WILL WAIT UP TO 90 DAYS, AND ONLY AFTER VENDOR HAS RECOGNIZED YOUR PURCHASE, FOR YOUR REBATE. I had to harass them and the vendor for over 2+ weeks to even have my COMPLETED purchase acknowledged. Since then, OVER 60 DAYS AGO, I have yet to receive my cashback.
Use for extra X-mas money & it sure comes in handy. I always use this site because I buy on line quite a bit. I've recommended this site to family but I don't think they've used it. If your going to buy on line, it's like getting paid to shop.
To be fair They seem to be one solid company except they couldn't track a couple of my cashbacks. Never had a problem since then with them.
Cashbacks get denied later from the merchant even if you follow the steps and click on the referral link through Befrugal.
BeFrugal is more consistent than the other websites similar at this point in time. 4 out of 5 times it will recognize your purchase so 4 out of 5 stars.
Who can argue with getting free money? BeFrugal by far offers the greatest discounts. Very east to use.
Even though the website looks a little sketchy, it actually works every time and almost on all websites. The thing I like the most is the frictionless activation experience like no other through the extension. Recommended
This site has (relatively) high cash back percentages, pays out via PayPal when requested, turn-around time is reasonable, process is easy, really a great site.
On top of a memorial day weekend appliance sale, saved me roughly $3000 on a new kitchen project! I've since used BeFrugal anytime I place online orders and 8 out of ten times, it works, and a few day later I have cash back as promised. Luckily no failures on a huge purchase like the first.
Just got $180.00 back for every day purchases... Even better than Ebates! So glad I gave them a try :)
BeFrugal is AMAZING! I've earned almost $800 just for shopping - I trust this cash back site and it's the only one I use. I do some shopping on Amazon & Walmart, started back in 2016 and did a lot back then, but have slowed down these days, so there hasn't been much going on lately, but regardless of any wait time - I mean, this was like found money... a savings account... the support was always very helpful on the few occasions I reached out to them - I have nothing bad to say about BeFrugal and will always use them and refer them to anybody I know! Thanks BeFrugal. It's an extra $800 I basically did absolutely NOTHING for - I LOVE IT!
The worst cashback servise ever. Its my 1st and last time I use it. After I get a payment I'll delet

Great site, gives more $$$ %%% cash back than other similar sites. Also, wide variety of cash back sites to choose from.
Very good would buy again quality is high shipping is fast service is hi end I would recommend it to whoever want to how it is
I mostly use it for Walmart, where they give 4%. With my 2% cash back credit card, it's just like not paying sales tax! Which is actually kinda depressing...

I just requested payment today to my checking account which I just set up on the Be Frugal website. Before, I have used Pay Pal which I will definitely use again; but today I used my checking account. I have never used my checking account for payment with Be Frugal; but today my account has been accepted to receive payment.
Thank you Be Frugal for paying me Cash Back for shopping with Be Frugal!
I enjoy using BeFrugal for most of my purchases when it is available. Getting Cashback and/or the coupons are easy and convenient.
All my transaction were correct and payable no delay or miscalculations. Don't understand the bad reviews I had no problems setting up my account and it's very easy to use when making purchases.
Just takes a minute to set up, use and even request payment. If you get an ecard, it's even easier.
First time requesting payment, will know more when I receive it. Would prefer some more sites to be added to the list of discounts.
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: Stay away from this site. You will not get your cash back as promised. Most your shopping trips never gets recorded and pathetic service.
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.
