I have used BeFrugal several times. I love the option to go back and leave a note about what you purchased on a shopping trip. If I could just remember to always
Leave a note I could for know for sure if I had missing cash back. The one time I claimed missing cash back, It was resolved in m favor. Thank you BeFrugal!
Very pleased with BeFrugal - when you do what you are supposed to, everything works smoothly. The rare time there might be a problem, their customer service people get on it and straighten things out. I do a LOT of shopping online and this is the ONLY way to shop. In all honesty, I go between BeFrugal and Ebates, but I find that BeFrugal often gives the better cash back deal.
I've done probably around 20 transactions from a variety of retailers without any issue from BeFrugal. I would say they pay out quicker than some of the other cash back sites.
Bought something from Sears. Saw the verified purchase quickly. Had to wait about 90 days before payment became available, probably due to Sears taking that long to pay BeFrugal. I liked how there was a bonus on top of the cashback if you selected the ebay gift card option.
I love contributing to worthy causes while making online purchases. The app is easy to use and the website works great!
Great service. Easy to use website, never had any issues if I follow all instructions. One of my top 3 cashback sites I like.
Hard to navigate. Payments take too long to payout. Otherwise payout is better than other cash back site.
I love to shop, so why not get rewarded when I do. Awesome site. Make sure that you are logged in prior to checking out. If it does not show in your account automatically, simple claim the missing cashback on the site. Customer Service is great as well!
This site is amazing. Just buy the stuff you want and then WOW free money. For the complainers out there. PAY ATTENTION! The cash back is not 100% on every site. This site gets paid to bring you to the sites and sell the products they are trying to sell. Wants points for AMAZON every time you shop get an AMAZON card. Then when you do shop and it's a payback category the its a double bonus! Just download the tool bar and it does rest. If you go to the site you know ahead of time what the bonus is and for what.
Easy way to earn cash back by shopping at sites I already go to. This is definitely my favorite cash back site!
Love this site. It is always there for me when I am shopping and the pop up to save me money works absolutely fantastic.
It will be perfect if it takes less time for the money to be payable.
The % of cashback is better than Ebates sometimes.
It also have many options to cash out
Way too many restrictions to earn cash back. There are other sites that are more transparent and don't restrict cash back to the extent that this site does.
So easy to get rebates on Be Frugal. Some sites have many exclusions, but all in all, has been working for me!
Yes! Another easy way to earn rewards by shopping online. Great way to earn some extra cash or gift cards. I would definitely recommend BeFrugal to everyone. Doesn't cost anything and all you need to do is sign in to BeFrugal and shop online at your favorite stores. Rewards add up and when you reach $25 you can request payment.
It s my first time and i like it, i will use befrugal again i will be happy when i see that my money back thnxs
Seconded, they were great at first. Member here since 2015. Trouble get started when you get paid. All request informations submitted for verification and finally my account being closed to avoid their confusion. They hold my few hundreds cash back on my completed trip (purchased). Dishonest cachback portal. Don't waste your time. Moved my business to it's rival without any issues.
This is one of the worst app it takes very long to review your payment and when you create a ticket to know about status it says you had done your payment directly. So we can do cash back.
Good tracking of my shopping -I've yet to need to file a customer service request and I get paid when I want to get paid and with quick direct deposit.
Slow but effective refund, I would like more% refund for Chinese pages
Just 1% - 4% is not happy with so little at least 5 - 10% would be fabulous.
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.
