Always always always missing cash back and needing to send a support ticket before they put cash back in your account.
This site is easy and simple to use. Everything at your finger tips... I always got my percentages back like they said...
Many merchants available, higher cashback than Mr. Rebates and good sign up bonus. It's easy to request payment with multiple options.
Nice to get something back from buying what I need. Very easy and great when looking for gifts like that you can get paid in different ways. Check, gift cards, paypal
Everything pays up the amount it states. It's great to make money while spending money! This is my second time requesting cash back, hoping it goes as smoothly as first time.
I like this site, you can try to reach bigger percentage of cash back. In general the use of the site is user friendly, clear and quick.
Gave me a bonus of $10 for sign-up and took away in the next 4-5 months by charging $2 maintenance fee/month. What are they maintaining?
Hi Sankar, BeFrugal charges a maintenance fee of $2 only after the account is inactive (no logins or clicks) for 365 days. We will reverse all maintenance fees on your account if you contact us and tell us you would like to void these fees. https://www.befrugal.com/contactus/.
Great cashback rate. Never had problem. Payment vi paypal. One of the best cashback portals around. Referral bonus makes deal sweeter if you have friend who wants to join.
Stay far away from BeFrugal they delete your account when they owe you money they owe me $180 and they do not pay - they have now deleted my account.
I am going to contact all the companies that they do business with and tell them that this is not a legitimate company they are crooks - go and see there reviews the good reviews are done by the staff that work at the company - see what real people who have done business with them say - they do not pay **** stay far away from them
Hi Liane, I am sorry to hear that you are not happy with your BeFrugal experience. The issue with logging into your account seems to be related to a forgotten password. Our support team emailed you directions how to reset your password, which will allow you to access your account. You can reset your password by clicking on the login link at the top of the site, then clicking "forgot password?". If you still are having trouble accessing your account or have any other questions, please contact support via live cat or email. https://www.befrugal.com/help/home/
I love this site. I earn cash back shopping for things I would be buying anyway. It has many discount codes that are not available on other sites. Very happy!
**Revision** The whole process takes awhile to receive and it is a hassle to request reviewing your purchases with the vendors because they don't show up all the time. I shopped in November and December 2017 and am barely getting paid at the end of March 2018. The method of payment isn't what I wanted but I had to settle in order to get ANY payment. ***I still haven't received my payout because of some security breech in my PayPal account and because the amount I've earned is less than $25.00, I am required to pick other options such as Amazon credit. I have tried to get that option but have yet to receive any credit in my Amazon credit account. At this rate, I'll be waiting until next year around March to receive any cash back. Time to look for a new provider.***
Love this app. More shopping sites than other similar apps. Bonus money at a higher rate and that's worth waiting for it to be verified
Highly recommended! The cashback rates are one of the highest and never have problems getting my money. Thanks a lot, keep up the good work!
THE BEFRUGAL APP IS A VERY NICE APP FOR ONLINE SHOPPERS. SOMETIMES IT MAY TAKE AWHILE FOR THE STORES TO VERIFY THE PURCHASES, BUT IT IS WORTH THE WAIT.
One of the best cashback, high precision, good service, I recommend, received a bonus for joining and for the invitation of my friend I am very happy, best regards.
So easy to place your orders thru Be Frugal and make money while you do it! So many various companies and sites offer rebates!
I love BeFrugal, it's helped me to save 100's of dollars while shopping on-line. I look forward to using the coupons for restaurants, as well! :)
They did not pay out the percentage that they would list. So you won't get the cash back you are expecting. I would also get clicks they would not go through. I would get totals (minus taxes, shipping, coupons) that were not the actual totals. They would be suspiciously less. They also did not live up to their cash back guarantee (if you find a better cash back within 24 hours). They do have high rates IF you get the right total and percent back.
This is amazing. At the beginning I though it was a joke. Then I had problems with my purchases. I contacted customer service and I did my tickets and at the end my money was given back to me. Its awesome. I recomend trying it.
Easy to use. Lots of online stores to choose from. Prompt payment and when I request payment, not on their schedule. Never had any problems with receiving cash back on qualified purchases.
