“BeFrugal”

Maureen L.
9/22/24

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.

With BeFrugal, there is no playing. I get great cashback for purchases, and payments are fast and easy.

Are people REALLY GETTING THEIR CASH BACK? I NEED TO KNOW! I read many people say I'm watching my account balance grow BUT is the money pending? JUST WAIT! This is the ABSOLUTE WORST SITE EVER! Be warned! DO NOT USE! I'm actually looking for people who never received their money back and received a generic email STATING Pop ups etc., you didn't use the coupon they supplied etc. Time after time I signed INTO their mobile application AND used the LINK to Kohls (who by the way, has NO IDEA who Be Frugal is, at least the representative I spoke to) and USED THEIR COUPON AND my cash was pending All EXCEPT MY FIRST PURCHASE which was minimal and I was credited $3.00 and change AFTER that ALL THE PROBLEMS AROSE AND EVERYTHING WAS DENIED! I continuously did the SAME thing and my order dates versus Kohls dates were WRONG, amounts WERE WRONG, denial after denial, etc. I am actually thinking of banding together as a group. Even if it's $2.00 people SHOULD GET THEIR money. I am SO ANGRY right now because of all of there problems or EVEN if they have any connection to these stores? It's strange that the few stores I called did not know about Be Frugal but knew about Ebates. Im actually worried about people using their credit cards in this application? Is it JUST ME? Is this site a scam? It just MIGHT BE!

Hi Lisa. I'm sorry to hear you are not happy with your BeFrugal experience. We try to provide our members with the best explanation possible why they did not earn the cash back they expected - we also have a list in our Help section, under "What can I do to make sure my cash back rebate is reported?" that you may find helpful.

I like this site, you can try to reach bigger percentage of cash back. In general the use of the site is user friendly, clear and quick.

One of the best cashback website. I never had any problem. Mostly cashback offers better than Rakuten.

Great website, easy to redeem cash back, there is no minimum for redemption, which is great, cuz many websites usually require $15 or more
