BeFrugal Reviews Summary

The company has garnered a mixed reputation among its customers. Positive feedback highlights the appealing cash-back offers, ease of use, and the ability to request payouts at any time, contributing to a generally favorable experience for many users. However, significant concerns arise regarding service delays, particularly with pending transactions and payout resolutions, which leave some customers feeling undervalued and frustrated. Overall, while the platform is appreciated for its potential savings and user-friendly interface, the inconsistency in transaction processing and customer support may hinder its ability to fully satisfy all users.

Long Wait

It takes a long time to receive your rebate. My sister uses E-bates and that is much quicker. I hope this was helpful.

If I could give this place zero stars I would! You have to fight for any cash back that you should get from this place. I ordered an Amazon Echo device for my mother. I clicked directly from Befrugal.com, placed the item in my cart and immediately checked out. Befrugal advertised 6% back on Amazon devices, but I never rec'd a penny. When I contact them, they claim I either bought an item that didn't qualify or I failed to click from their site over to Amazon. WRONG-these guys are a scam!

A few of my orders did not earn any payments. But happy that they do give a high percentage than other sites.

Half of my purchases are not recorded, and then there is nobody to speak to. The response is I didn't click or I have ad blocker, which are both nonsense.

It's great for Amazon shoppers in particular. Around the holidays you'll find as high as 10% cashback at Amazon, and other merchants too. I use Befrugal for about 95% of my cashback shopping.

I did purchase gifts for myself, family and friends for a month.
Had a lot to buy for the holidays.
They accused me of breaking their rules which I read and did not...
And blocked my account, they took all the 150$ I had there...
Thank you for taking my money... scam.
