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.

They actually made a reasonably positive change so that you can request a payment every 15 days, but it literally takes them ALL of those 15 days to process a payment and then you must wait another 15 days before you can request another payment. Overall, I am happy that there is competition out there, but I wish more companies would get a hint and be more like "Topcashback" is!

Befrugal is leggit!
November 30, 2017

I really like earning money through Befrugal. Only thing that I don't like is it takes them 10 days to send you your payments. It's ridiculous. This is why I gave the rating a 3 instead of 5.

Only had an issue with them once and it was on the part of the vendor. Contacted BeFrugal and they helped me resolve it within a acceptable amount of time and I got my cashback.

If you don't like free money, then this app is not for you, seriously. It's easy to use and in addition to cash back, there are some great coupons available. It's a win win!

Spend money, get paid. It's pretty simple. Make sure you disable ad blocker or anything that blocks cookie tracking or else you'll have a harder time receiving your money.

Actually works!
November 13, 2017

I've used other cashback sites that are flakey, but befrugal consistently offers the best rates (or near the best rates) and I've never had any issues with it. It shows you right away when you place an order through it and you can track it through to confirmation. Payment is easy to request (although I had a little difficulty requesting payment through the form I wanted from a mobile browser), and they give you bonus money when you request an amazon gift card, which is as good as cash for me. I'm very happy, and will continue to use them.

So I ordered 2 computers from Dell, got the cashback credited to my Befrugal account(~$500) then I requested the payment to PayPal. After nothing showing up on my PayPal, I'm being told that my account was closed because of violation of terms and condition (what the...) and that no payment will be issued. No other explanations. What's going on? That's how you act when it comes to pay of the Cashback?
