I am not sure how or when to apply BeFrugal. Sometimes a tab shows up on my computer when I place an online order & I select it however, I have no idea what to expect. I would love to know how to make the most of this app. Sometimes it isn't very easy. I see I have accumulated some rewards but I am certain there are times I could use it.
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.
You always get great deals and extra cash! The products on be frugal are usually discounted to the max and are shipped quickly then you get cash on top! Lots of choices on soooo many products
Get the best rate out of all cashback sites majority of the time. The pending wait time is slightly longer than other sites but you get more in return.
Not only did I never receive the $10 for Refer-a-Friend, after a 6-day game of tag, long story short? "Unfortunately, we cannot investigate missing orders if no shopping trip/click reported to the account. The only other option would be to cancel the order and re-order through the site."
First of all, the CUSTOMER loses out when the software doesn't work. I'm in IT; I know a bit about HTML/script/coding in the background of a webpage and extensions. They will NEVER convince me they were unable to collect data on my purchase. I mean you HICCUP on the internet and any little troll can find it and publish it again! It's just an easy way to get out of a large cash back payout (this order had multiple items for a baby shower).
Secondly, CANCEL THE ORDER? Pay for return shipping just so I can order again? What kind of customer support is that? I remember when the phrase was "The customer is always right". I know these days that society is more deceitful but when I supply ALL the information BeFrugal is requesting, I feel a bit insulted that they won't acquiesce to keep me on as a customer.
You use it, you take your chances.
95% of the time, they have the highest rebate. I always check them first. Thank you. And I check ebates, TopCashback, CouponCabin AND MrRebates. But BeFrugal remains the best.
One of the premiere cash back sites. Rewards for buying things I need is my love language.
Helping customers like you, to save and earn, is our love language! We are so happy to hear that you are enjoying our services. Check out our new "BeFrugal Rewards Extension"! Another great way to earn bonus cash for daily activities.
BeFrugal are Amazing. This is the 2nd time they paid me
Its a real site to make cash back on. The only thing is it take to long for your money
To post to your BeFrugal account be4 you can get paid
Was perusing sites where I might have some money to help get me through the COVID-19 social distancing. Wouldn't you know, BeFrugal.com had money I didn't remember I had. Wonderful surprise!
The couple times my purchases didnt post automatically they took care of it within 24 hours. They also issue payments very quickly. Its my favorite of the cashback companies.
If I could put ZERO STARS I would! It takes months and months to get cashback, and now i have over 5 purchases I had to inquire where my cash back is, then it takes another several months to get the "investigation" completed to get your cashback. And majority of the time they'll say your purchase didnt qualify and you WONT get your cashback! They lure you in with what looks like the best cash back rates, but it is a scam. You wont ever see the money. SUCH A WASTE OF TIME. Save yourself the time and headache and use Ebates or Ibotta. You will waste so much time trying to follow up with every single purchase you make with BeFrugal and 8/10 you wont ever get your cash back. HORRIBLE AWFUL COMPANY!

Good tracking of my shopping -I've yet to need to file a customer service request and I get paid when I want to get paid and with quick direct deposit.

Do yourself a favor and stay away from Befrugal. It will find excuses for not paying you cashback for large purchases (in my experiences HP and Dell, when a large cashback rate was posted). I did get some cashback for some purchases, but for my recent HP purchases, none of them got honored. I contacted BF, and their response is that according to the vendor, I did not use the BeFrugal links, but I found this hard to believe. I could not help but conclude that Befrugal was looking for excuses for not giving me the money. I should've used other cashback websites but was lured by using BeFrugal because of the large advertised cashback rates. Such a disappointing experience.
Add on 8/29/19: Befrugal has claimed that a credit was provided by the vendor to me via another cashback website. This does not make sense. First, I did not receive any cashback for my HP purchases from any other websites. Second, why would I have used other websites when BF offered 6-8% cashback while others offered 2%? Third, I have used BF for years, so I know how to use it properly. Again, you may get your cashback from BF for some purchases, but by using BF you risk losing others, especially for cashback from large purchases, even if the cashback rate looks tempting. I would NOT take the risk again.
Hi Eric, I am sorry to hear that you are not satisfied with your BeFrugal experience. I had our support team investigate to determine why Cash Back was not awarded on your orders. The affiliate network has informed us that they tracked your orders but is crediting another site (not BeFrugal) with the sale. This can happen if any of the following is true: clicking on another site's affiliate link after BeFrugal, having a competitor shopping browser extension/software installed or having items in your cart before clicking on the link from BeFrugal. Please see this link for more information on Cash Back and steps to take to ensure proper tracking: https://www.befrugal.com/help/cashback/. If you have any other questions or concerns, please reach out to our support team.
I firstly use this web site and this cashback event, I think it is very useful. And I will recommend this web site for my friends. They will be very satified for this event also :)
Just did my first "request payment" activity and was really pleased with how easy the process is. Using BeFrugal really does help save money.
The best for shopping rewards. They seem to pay better than others. Payments are processed quickly and you can keep track as they take place
Love my BeFrugal!
I send out emails all the time ask my friends to sign up because you can save money and get codes for different stores etc!
This has been a great way to make some money back on things you buy all the time. Its easy to use. Makes shopping fun.
Have received $252 since becoming a member in 2015. Befrugal is the best ever! Except they make you enter 100 characters for a review!
Great site. Just login and pick where you are going to shop for automatic money back. I have earned almost $200 on things I was buying anyway.
Fast payments as well. No waiting 90 days or some god awful amount of time. Once they get the money they give it to you.
Love this site. It is always there for me when I am shopping and the pop up to save me money works absolutely fantastic.
