However, significant concerns arise regarding service delays, particularly with pending transactions and payout resolutions, which leave some customers feeling undervalued and frustrated. Overall, while the platform is appreciated for its potential savings and user-friendly interface, the inconsistency in transaction processing and customer support may hinder its ability to fully satisfy all users.

They are stealing your money - avoid!
I invite you all to boycott this site, beyond a certain amount they will not answer you without any reason to keep your money. I try to contact them every day and I get no answer.
Run away
Very bad, often AliExpress cashback is significantly lower than with other cashback providers. So called best cashback guarantee in fact, doesn't work - you can only use it once. Other aspects: your cashback must be verified and after that it will be payable, verification will take about 1 month or more. While you can receive much faster verification by other cashback providers. Other aspect: withdrowing money from your account: not all declared payment methods are available, for example - virtual visa card, is not available.
I've been a member since 12/2015, and I've never had any problems with my cash back. I like that you can opt for a e-gift card for payment and get a little extra cash back. Lately, BeFrugal is the cash back site I use most often.
They don't have a desire to contact the merchant and dive deep into the transaction that was mishandled by either BeFrugal or the Merchant. I will move to another cashback site once all of my pending cashbacks are posted.
I will use this until I get my first $25 so I can get my cash back- because that's how much you have to earn to be able to cash in! That can take a LONG time. Also, the cash back is "pending confirmation" and is estimated to be confirmed in 3-4 months. Ebates adds money to your account immediately and send you a check every quarter. I will be going back to Ebates!
Befrugal pays more cash back than other cash back companies. Requesting payments either by check or direct deposit is so easy and quick! Only wish I had more money to shop so that I could get more money back! LOL ;)
I dont understand what is going on. Iunderstand i cant be paid til befrugal is paid but some of this stuff goes way back it doesnt make any sense to me. Ill take April as an example there are dates posted as an estimate for funds to be released. When we get close to the date, very little is distributed and then the remaining dates will be pushed to may. There is no paid date next to any of the entries that have been distributed in the past.thats what makes it more confusing. Then i have a receipt for Enterprise that had been incurred in December. Its marked as Estimate recorded. I am having a problem with emailing that receipt to befrugal. I cant do it under my profile i.e. Befrugal ticket system because there is no option on attaching a scanned item.
I did purchase gifts for myself, family and friends for a month.
Had a lot to buy for the holidays.
They accused me of breaking their rules which I read and did not...
And blocked my account, they took all the 150$ I had there...
Thank you for taking my money... scam.
I have used BeFrugal several times. I love the option to go back and leave a note about what you purchased on a shopping trip. If I could just remember to always
Leave a note I could for know for sure if I had missing cash back. The one time I claimed missing cash back, It was resolved in m favor. Thank you BeFrugal!
Great website to save some money! Very easy to use and great customer support. Perfect place to shop around during the holidays when you know you will be spending a lot. They have cashback from may popular stores and website.
I love that you can get back money for buying things. Great service very helpful
Befrugal offers some of the highest percentages on cash back. I have received my checks, I have told many people about Befrugal. I never shop online without checking Befrugal first. I love it and am so glad I found Befrugal.!
I've been using BeFrugal for a few months and the majority of my purchases never get "reported" or verified so I am not getting most of the cashback that I am owed. I've been very happy with Ebates and have not had this problem with them. Go with Ebates even if the cash back % is lower because with them you actually get paid.
I had multiple hotel purchases through them. It has literally been a full year and just got my denial from the investigation to get my cash back. It got me so angry that I just had to post my experience. I've since forgotten them and am using eBates. Literally the easiest cashback site I've ever used. Already got like $20+ in less than a year.
Hi Steph, I'm sorry to hear your cash back took that length of time to confirm. Our support team is always available to answer questions or look into an issue. Don't hesitate to reach out.
It's simple, really. I spent money on things I would buy anyway. They give me cash back. Maybe it's not a whole lot - less than 10% of what i buy - but it's nice. Why wouldn't I want cash back? And their customer service has been great.
Terrible customer service, they tell you you didn't earn cash back because you used a coupon or something, even though no coupon was used. Neal doesn't belong in customer service, he is terrible. Will be using other cash back sites going forward.
Excellent way to get some added cashola on purchases you're going to make anyway. Was happy to see that even though I hadn't used my account in over 6 months - my money was still available for payment.
Thank you for making it easy to earn some extra cash. Easy to select the store to get your rebate. When selecting store make sure to look at cash back terms and exclusions. I have received cash back for all stores so I have no complaints.
This is amazing... One day I came across this website and downloaded the app. I didn't even realize I was even making money on. The BeFrugal icon is next to my status bar and every time I placed and order online it would pop up and I would just simply click on it (and sometimes the coupon codes that came along with it). Next thing you know I just looked at it one day (a month or two after downloading the app) and realized I had money waiting to be withdrawn. FIVE STARS
With this web-site featuring hundreds of online stores, you can save various percentage rates of each shopping trip, once confirmed you can receive a check for the total amount saved; of combined shopping online.
Answer: I had $38.24 coming back to me that I had to wait forever to get. And never got it. It finally became payable, I went to claim it, and befrugal blocked me from doing so. All the cash back disappeared. After that clicking on payments generated a 404 page. This is ridiculous. Whether it's a problem with their system or some other issue I don't know. But it really feels like they scammed me out of cash back. They won't let me log into my account now. I tried to reset my password and they won't let me do that either. A word from the wiser - Use Rakuten - they are 10 times more trustworthy than this thing. They also pay you regularly. BeFrugal is a Total scam! I read another review on Trustpilot where it says they will deactivate your account if they don't want to pay you. That's exactly what it looks like they did to me. Unbelievable.

Answer: Hi Linda, great question as we know that sometimes these permissions can look scary. The BeFrugal Automatic Coupons & Cash Back Chrome extension will apply coupons and activate Cash Back at the shopping cart of thousands of online stores. This permission just allows us to display a small notifier in your shopping cart that you click to apply the coupons and activate your Cash Back. I hope this answers your question. Happy shopping! - Chris from BeFrugal
Answer: You can check out what percentage of your expenditures you will earn by searching for Travelocity on the BeFrugal website.
Answer: Hi there, in order to earn cash back on your online shopping, you need to first be signed up for BeFrugal, then click the store on our website and shop as normal. We cannot issue retroactive cash back for purchases you made before becoming a BeFrugal member.
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!
