So many places to get cash back. BeFrugal keeps track of everything for me. Quick to send reward money too! I have saved about $400. Over the years I have been a member!
Great concept in rewarding customers! Thanks BeFrugal.
There are other companies that do what BeFrugal does...
But they can not compare!
The best out there for cash back, no one is better than BeFrugal!
I have been using it for a couple of years.
Great site. Just login and pick where you are going to shop for automatic money back. I have earned almost $200 on things I was buying anyway.
Gives a good margin in most of the important suppliers.
Recommended. The only cons is that long time till they send you the payment after the payment request.
This is an incredible service and i'm so proud to be a member! Thank you! The transactions are very easy and the payouts are prompt!
Not as good as Ebates! Would never recommend to friend! Too much wait and too much work.
95% of the time, they have the highest rebate. I always check them first. Thank you. And I check ebates, TopCashback, CouponCabin AND MrRebates. But BeFrugal remains the best.
I do agree that this site has the highest cadhback however? You have to wait 3+ months before you can cash out. Also their app will not work for earning cash back therefore the only way to earn is through the website. For me, the cons outweigh the pros, unless they can at least get the app working.
1. The payout takes up to 10 business days. Why so long?
2. A browser plugin/extension to show the tracking status would have put clients rest assured.
I like how they give out a lot of cash. This should be advertised more for more customers. The amount of time a customer has to wait in order to redeem their money is a disadvantage, cause they would rather go to Ebates that is quicker at cashback.
Too many things don't pay out without requesting intervention. Whenever I spent over 20 dollars somewhere I had to file to get the "reward." Some rewards just disappeared for no reason after first showing up. Their customer service replied quickly, but honestly, it was too much work to track, especially if I spent 20 or more--because those never showed up without extra paperwork submitted.
Wait FOREVER before they cancelled your cashback! If you want to fight for EVERY CASH BACK you deserved, wait FOREVER, and get the news that your cashback is cancelled, do join.
Plus the $10 bonus comes AFTER you make $10 cashback.
Offers new customer sign up and referral bonuses. Has competitive cashback rates and offers multiple ways to cash out your balance. I have not had to deal with missing cashback so I am not familiar with customer service. Otherwise, recommend checking out for yourself.
I use BeFrugal everytime I shop and I love getting that cashback on my purchases. And there are so many places to shop, it makes it very convenient to find whatever I need anytime I am looking.
This is absolutely the best website to start shopping and saving! Payment can be easily requested, payable by PalPal or check.
I wanted to see my balance and review what was considered in the rebate. I found what I needed and requested a check for the balance. Very convenient since I am an on-line shopper. Thanks!
The best service. I love your website. Befrugal is fantastic. Always I use. I recommend Thanks Befrugal
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: Didnt get the $10. Was not sure how to do that. Can i get the $10 now even after registering?
Answer: You can set up a few different ways (Paypal, checking account, etc.)
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.
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.
