I used to use befrugal a lot because I though the cashback deals were excellent. I still continue to use when I order from other site than walmart because it only give 4%,
I love being frugal and looking for the best deals possible. I shop practically every day, but don't always buy something. I often forget to check with BeFrugal before I buy something, then kick myself for not having earned on the purchase! I've used other cashback programs, but they're not as 'easy-going' as this one. This site is so much easier to use than others and no having to jump through hoops to get paid. I just have to remember to come here before I hit the Order/Purchase box.
The staff at BeFrugal is always helpful, knowledgeable, and professional. It's great to have a company like this that can help customers to get rebates on online purchases. Thank you, BeFrugal!
I work in IT for a 12,000+ employee company and I am constantly having to remove the sneaky BEFRUGAL adware that gets embedded onto the Windows PC. Employees will not be able to open up their Internet Explorer (IE) browser because this stupid dangerous "virus" crashes IE upon initially launching the program. This literally acts like an annoying virus, and should be avoided 100% of the time. If you have to research an application/company such as BEFRUGAL, then odds are its too sketchy to take the risk.
So simple- great for people who do any online shopping. Even if you don't shop online- all the coupons are right there to use. It is fabulous- I have saved a ton in coupons and earned money back on things I was already buying!
PLEASE AVOID THIS SITE: They advertise high cash back percentages to get you to come to their site and click their referral links. After this they will refuse to pay you your cash back. They will claim that you didn't follow instructions good enough. I only came to this site because of the much larger cash back I should have received. They most likely got a huge commission and kept it all.
I will never use this site again and will stick to my usual cashback site. One where I have made 50+ purchases and had 0 problems.
STAY AWAY
UPDATE:
Thanks for the canned response. This is the same exact reply I got when I inquired about my cash back being denied.
Hi Ryan, I'm sorry to hear you are unhappy with BeFrugal. As our support team mentioned to you, common causes for an inquiry to be declined include other shopping sites or search engines receiving credit, using a coupon code not eligible for cash back, or having software from another shopping website installed.
The Cashback FAQ page on our website goes into more detail on these terms and conditions. Our customer support team is always available to answer more questions if you have them.
Trying to make this work but no support anywhere and the site is awful.

Befrugal helps to make online shopping site more rewarding by offering cashback on most of the major retailers. Nice site.
This is for real you will get money back from them and you'll get GREAT coupons to save more money and you get money for using them REALLY TRY THIS SITE I ONLY WISH I KNOWN ABOUT IT SOONER!
I've just got $106 back, just for shopping, that is top notch, thanks BeFrugal! :)
All year long great savings. Easy to use. Never have any problems. I love that you can select the type of payment for the cashback.
You're going to shop anyway, may as well get a little cash back. They also have coupon codes as well for many popular sites. Don't hesitate join now.
I have used the site for several purchases and they have all been captured accurately and the payment request process seems to work well.
BeFrugal is awesome! It makes it so easy to save money!
BeFrugal is my go to for cash back. It almost always has the highest % of cash back than other sites. BeFrugal also has an easy payment system.
Not only does BeFrugal give you cash back for online shopping, they also know any current sales happening and apply those promotional codes when you click on the sale banners! I just save 15% from my Living Social Purchases plus another 20% from the current sales offered!
I had a number of clicks that did not credit between November and January of this year. After filing multiple cases, having click history, order ID# and valid proof of emails forwarded, they refused to credit me. It was a significant amount - nearly $100. Don't believe their rates - they DON'T pay out. Their website rarely works and I have been disrespected by the staff many times and insulted. Also, IF YOU USE BEFRUGAL, YOU WILL GET CREDIT CARD FRAUD.
I still HAVE NOT BEEN PAID. They owe me over $150 and refuse to payout. AWFUL company. Use SimplyBestCoupons - I've had great luck with them.
Hi Steve, I'm sorry to hear you're unhappy with your BeFrugal experience. Common causes for an inquiry to be declined include other shopping sites or search engines receiving credit, using a coupon code not eligible for cash back, or having software from another shopping website installed.
Regarding credit card fraud, at no point do we ever ask for credit card information from our users. Security is of the utmost importance for our customers.
Our support team is available via Live Chat or support ticket if we can answer any further questions.
From the purchase to the price match... You will be pleased! I appreciate the customer service each time. Truly a winner:-)

Hi Mark, I understand you were in touch with our support team, who explained that BeFrugal encountered crashing issues with an older version of Adobe Flash Player when using the BeFrugal Toolbar. If the flash player is updated, there should no longer be issues.
