Hey Deborah,
It makes us happy to hear that you are enjoying our services and earning at the same time! Thank you for choosing us to be a part of your journey.
More than once I bought items though BeFrugal but never got the rebate. They make it impossible to report it because the date of the purchase isn't on the form you have to use and if the date is not in their system you can't submit the form. Will not waste my time with them in the future.
Hey Michelle! We appreciate you taking the time to leave us a review. We apologize for the experience you have had with us. We understand how frustrating it can be when cash back is not rewarded by the Merchants. BeFrugal is just an online cash back portal that connects you to the cash back that is coming from the Merchants. Once you place a purchase, they will typically update the pending cash back within 7 days of the purchase. If they do not update, we have resources to assist. Unfortunately, they only give us Up to 60 days to send them an inquiry regarding the pending cash back. If it is more than 60 days, we would not be able to send them the inquiry.
Love that I get something for things I'm going to buy anyways!
Isn't it great to be able to shop and earn because you shopped?! Check out our new BeFrugal Rewards Extension! It is another great tool to earn extra cash on purchases.
I enjoy getting a bonus for purchases I am going to make anyway! Easiest experience ever. Crazy not to use BeFrugal!

I love the BeFrugal app. However, I find that there are many online stores that I figured would be associated with BeFrugal that aren't. Some examples are Phillips and Amberjack. However, overall the rewards are much better than with Rakuten so I will give BeFrugal 5 stars!
Thanks for taking the time to leave us a review, David! We work with many many Merchants but there are some that we are not associated with. Who knows though?! Cash back is always updating and so are the Merchants!
Love to use it gives me a lot of money back. But sometimes i forgot and regret.
Ahh Shel! Things happen but we are always here to help you earn cash back on future purchases. Thank you for taking the time to leave us this review!
I really like using BeFrugal and have been using for some years now. Only thing that could be improved is the amount of time you have to wait for payouts. Thank you!
We hear you, Joyce! Thank you for taking the time to leave us your feedback. We are happy to be a part of your cash back journey. Thank YOU!
Thank you for the review, Chad! We are happy to be of service to you. Enjoy your cash back, you've earned it!
They literally refused to help me after giving me the wrong cashback after I told the customer service personnel that my receipt is not copy and pastable. I gave him the exact invoice number and let him know I can only send the receipt as an email attachment because it will not allow me to copy and paste. He refused to help. I will be sticking to rakuten for my cashback. I will never again use BeFrugal. I have attcahed my receipt as proof below; the same receipt they declined.
Very easy to shop with BeFrugal, as they do everything for you...you just need to use their guidance.
Thank you, Susan! That is exactly what we are here for. Our team members are ready to assist and guide you through the process of cash back. We understand how confusing it can be, but we are here to help!
I dont understand what is going on. Iunderstand i cant be paid til befrugal is paid but some of this stuff goes way back it doesnt make any sense to me. Ill take April as an example there are dates posted as an estimate for funds to be released. When we get close to the date, very little is distributed and then the remaining dates will be pushed to may. There is no paid date next to any of the entries that have been distributed in the past.thats what makes it more confusing. Then i have a receipt for Enterprise that had been incurred in December. Its marked as Estimate recorded. I am having a problem with emailing that receipt to befrugal. I cant do it under my profile i.e. Befrugal ticket system because there is no option on attaching a scanned item.
Hey Yvonne,
Thank you for taking the time to leave us your feedback. It is important for us to understand from the customer's point of view. We would love to assist you in the best way possible. You are always welcome to reach out to us regarding any issues you might be experiencing.
We understand how time consuming and confusing the process of "Verified" to "Payable" is. BeFrugal is only a cash back portal the connects you to the cash back that is coming directly from the Merchants. The Merchant will only pay out once they approve from their end. Unfortunately, the time frame is just an estimated time frame that is given by the Merchants. It is hard for us to give an exact date with the direct information. Once the Merchant approves of the Verified cash back, the account will update and you would be notified.
When sending the inquiry, you can only include a copy and paste of the order confirmation. We cannot accept attachments or pdfs when it comes to sending your inquiry to the Merchant. If you are still experiencing issues with your inquiry, feel free to reach out and we can guide you through the process. Best regards!
Great straight forward cash back platform. I love that they provide MANY payout options, with many of those giving additional cash back for free.
We are committed to helping our users maximize on their cash back and savings! As well as, providing various pyment options to choose from. You work hard for these purchases and cash back. You deserve to have a few choices on how to earn!
I really enjoyed the reward bonus on every shopping
The new BeFrugal Rewards is such an amazing tool! Another great way to earn some extra cash on purchases. We are always looking for ways where customers can benefit from our services. Glad to hear that you are enjoying our services!
