I requested payment from BeFrugal in the form of an Amazon gift card on January 2nd. As soon as I made the request, I received and email and a text asking me to verify the form of payment by clicking on a particular link. I immediately did so. Eight business days later I still had not received payment, so I emailed customer service about the status of my payment. I was told by "Todd" that payment would be made by the 10th business day after my request for payment, so I waited. Fifteen business days later, I still had not received payment, so I emailed "Todd" again. This time, "Todd" said that I had "ignored" their initial request to verify my form of payment and that I would have to wait another 10 business days to receive my Amazon gift card. Clearly, this was a LIE. If it were true, why didn't "Todd" ask me to verify my form of payment the first time I made an inquiry? I requested payment (and verified my form of payment) on January 2nd. Today is January 26th and I still have not received my funds. It's obvious that BeFrugal is manufacturing obstacles in order to avoid making disbursements. DO NOT TRUST THEM WITH YOUR BUSINESS. There are plenty of other cash back portals out there that will not hold your cash back hostage.

When I googled for Mott's applesauce it showed coupons for it on Befrugal.com. I clicked on it and didn't see anything worthwhile. A few min. After closing the web page, Internet Explorer 11 stopped working, my touch screen wasn't working right & then the curser disappeared. After 2 hrs with a computer tech and after downloading Malwarebytes and running a whole computer scan, it found 7 programs with befrugal in the name. After it deleted them my computer was working again. I just opened the site, I did not download anything from it. So don't even open the site!

I did a click through from a popular coupons page to get coupons for Coca-cola and it automatically started downloading an app that changes my Toolbar to have their app monitor my usage, send pop-ups LIKE CRAZY, and has more pop-ups at the top of the screen in my toolbar area. I can't read a lot of what is on my pages now for all the pop-ups and it has locked up my computer to the point of needing to shut down and restart. I tried removing the app but still am dealing w pop-ups. Now I have to have my laptop that I also use for work wiped. There goes three years of work that I now have to back up on a hard drive that I had to purchase for $80. All that just to save a few buck?! What a pain in the you-know-what! Soooooooooooo NOT WORTH IT.
