BeFrugal

Cash back moves to verified and stays there for a while before moving to payable. Customer service is less helpful than other sites. However, there are certain merchants that are only on BeFrugal, and sometimes cashback rates are higher than competitors.

Takes a long time to become eligible for payment. I have used others and they pay every 3 months. These are all in different time settings. Not sure why. Overall not bad.

Good % back and easy navigation are good. Gave it 3 stars because of their good performance in the past.
Everything else, that involves cash back tracking, has gone down lately. More than half of orders are not traceable. After filling out their "cashback inquiry", out of 10 times, maybe 1 will be credited. There is the same reply I get every time: "it was denied by the store, another rebate service has been detected". The thing is, I know that only Befrugal is being used, and I would be happy to take a video as proof, but I know it won't make a difference. I'm sure this is a very common issue, but seems like it's not getting fixed. I would rather get less cashback somewhere else, than not get anything at all. Hoping they will fix this soon, but for now, I'll have to slow down using this service.

This site is so easy to get around. I love the cash back option. Hoping it works after reading a few reviews here

I don't get statements on how much I have earned nor can I figure out if there is a way to automatically get the cash back. Not to mention I cannot believe that they send a paper check! I am happy with the amount of money I am earning but tracking and getting the money should be easier.

Many of my big purchases got nothing back even though I have followed every step required to make sure that I will get cash back. But I got nothing instead.

Unlike Ebates, it takes way too long for cash back to be available for withdrawal. A purchase may be confirmed quickly but take 2 months or more for it to be available to withdraw. I only use it if there is a significant difference in cash back between the two sites.

Befrugal is not a terrible site, but I've had better luck with other cashback sites. I do most of my shopping through other sites that seem to track purchases a little more accurately. Sometimes when cashback amounts are in flux, Befrugal has trouble reporting the proper percentage on purchased. This happened to me purchasing from Dell on black friday a couple years ago. As cashback was constantly changing, I grabbed it at a certain high percentage but when it was reported the percentage back didn't equate to my purchase, it was lower. I've also had issues with purchases through Amazon. But like I said, if they have a really high percentage, killing other sites' rates, I will use Befrugal. But if they are only a percentage or 2 better, I'll take the hit and use a more reliable site so I know I'm getting that money back without any hassle.

1. The payout takes up to 10 business days. Why so long?
2. A browser plugin/extension to show the tracking status would have put clients rest assured.

It is always nice and simple, but there are still many items are not cover the reward such as on ebay. There many items are not rewards.

Great experience EVER!!! Was so very easy to use and earn good cash back!! Cant wait to earn some more!!

I use this site a lot while shopping, but I barely get much in return for doing so.
I even used it for my computer and cell phone purchases and got nothing.

Thanks for the cash back! It does miss some shopping trips. I was expecting more after all the shopping i've done. It is still nice to get anything back for shopping.

Great Site. Some stores get lower % back the more people use it which is not cool.
Certain stores I noticed started out at $10.6 months later its $5 a year later its $1 back

They said money would be released after 30 day. Never released my cash back. Just keep getting automated messages from company saying why they can't release it.

I like Be Frugal. I can often get a better percentage compared to other similar sites. I promptly received the transfer confirmation to my Paypal account. Now I will see if the money appears in my account in 48hrs. It would be nice to have the cash out be made automatically on a specific date like with Ebates.

I really like earning money through Befrugal. Only thing that I don't like is it takes them 10 days to send you your payments. It's ridiculous. This is why I gave the rating a 3 instead of 5.

A few of my orders did not earn any payments. But happy that they do give a high percentage than other sites.

(member since Nov 2019) The trick is to just lower your expectation. As my grandmother used to say, "it beats a sharp stick in the eye" so I'll just be happy that there is anything at all. There is no customer service phone number. They have live chat that is rarely available. I did manage to get it today. Learned my Amazon purchases didn't get tracked because I used the extension popup instead of logging into BeFrugal and then going to Amazon. Turns out the extension doesn't actually work with Amazon so I have about $200 of purchases that aren't eligible for rebates. This can work, but it is A LOT of work to follow which categories from which retailers are eligible. And apparently it changes regularly, so just because a purchase was eligible one day, it may not be the next.

US based person companies. Highest cashback. Others checkout only paypal and Amazon gift. I go to another service.

Good payments, but can't request within 15 days of last request and takes 10-15 days once the request has been made. And, your account isn't instantly credited until it's been "approved or confirmed", which can take another 3-10 days. So, minimum 35 days AFTER the purchase...

The problem with this site is that receiving money takes months. They say be frugal but most of the coupons not helping you out at all. Would I recommend... no.

I do agree that this site has the highest cadhback however? You have to wait 3+ months before you can cash out. Also their app will not work for earning cash back therefore the only way to earn is through the website. For me, the cons outweigh the pros, unless they can at least get the app working.
