Very Good experience and I find it very helpful and beneficial offers. Services offered have a variety and significant discounts including a large variety of options and different stores and brands. The array of offers from groceries, footwear, clothing, eletronics, etc. The options are endless and for sure the cash back accumulates faster then you think.
I opened the account in August, have $31 dollars sitting in my cash back account. All verified, none payable, even meeting the minimal withdrawal limit. & when I ask, I always get the same answer "merchants gives 120 days to mark as payable. When that's done, they will notify us & we will notify you." The deals are great, but you don't actually get to use the cash back. If you want your cash back quick, don't use this site.

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review!
Higher payouts than other sites, you just have to wait longer to get paid
Thank you for the review, Chad! We are happy to be of service to you. Enjoy your cash back, you've earned it!
I happened to log in today and saw $16 was deducted from my account because of monthly inactivity fees. I was so angry and left a 1 star review (below) I then started a chat and the rep said that happens if I don't log in for a year and before I had a chance to type more, I saw my $16 was credited. So that me feel a lot better about this site. I hope Befrugal reads this because if the point of the inactivity fee is to get people on the site more regularly, not emailing customers of the inactivity fee defeats that purpose and just alienates us.
-------------- Prior review:
They have been charging me inactivity fees without notifying me! I know they have my email as I get promotional emails from them. You would think they have the technology to put in a gentle reminder saying how I'm being charged $2 a month! So I lost their promised bonus AND paid them $6! Uggh!
Hi Joe, I am sorry that you are not satisfied with your BeFrugal experience. To clear things up BeFrugal is always 100% free to use. We do not and did not charge you or anyone a fee for being active. The only fee that may have been applied to your account is a monthly $2 maintenance fee that is only applied to dormant accounts that have had no activity (clicks, logins, etc.) for over 365 days. Fortunately, if you wish to get all maintenance fees voided and your balance restored 100%, just send a message to our support team here: https://www.befrugal.com/contactus/. Other Cash Back sites will either close your account after 365 days or will apply non-refundable maintenance fees then close your account when the balance reaches $0. I hope this clears up any confusion. Thanks!
I thought this was optional. Anyway, this is a great way to save money and at the same time get rewarded with cash.
Hi Esperanza! Feedbacks are always optional. We appreciate you taking the time to send one in. Enjoy those earnings, you deserve it!

Thank you for reaching out and leaving us your feedback. We understand that the wait time can be difficult. We are always here to guide and inform our users of information regarding cash back. Feel free visit the FAQs section for more information. You are always welcome to reach out and ask questions!
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!
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.
Tip for consumers:
BeFrugal is trash.

Easy to use and a good way to save. Easy redemption. Convenient. Extension works well. Certainly recommend.
Always great deals and bonuses. Used other apps this one is faster and much easier. I even requested cashback and with an additional bonus. I wouldn't dream of shopping online without it.
I had been working with this app for more then two years. Very satisfied with it.
Thank you for choosing us to be a part of your Cash Back journey! Check out our new BeFrugal Rewards Extension. Another great way to accumulate daily points that can later be converted into cash. That's more cash in your pocket!
Love it, do my Holiday shopping with it, use cash I earned via amazon gift card.

We appreciate you for taking time to send us your feedback. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out!
I am new trying this site. So far everything is going very smoothly. I have put in my 1st request for a check to be issued. I am not anticipating any problems. I'm very pleased at this time and will see after completion if anything changes. Have a nice day!
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!
Nothing but positive experiences. Lots of help! Always get paid, would recommend to friends and family
Great Website. Tends to offer more cashback than others. It doesn't always catch the orders though. I wish it would.
I love the way you can make money on items that you purchase. Really helps when you're trying to save every way possible, with the prices that have gone way out of reason, BeFrugal is an excellent way to save and so easy to have it deposited, there's just no way you can go wrong.
Thanks, Linda, for your thoughtful review. We appreciate your kind words! Our Team works hard to find the best deals and provide way to maximize on cash back. Prices are tough and that is exactly why we are committed to provide resources to help!
Easy to get cash back rewards. Lots of web sites to use. Happy with the returns. Like the Be Frugal web site.
They advertise higher payouts then other stores like Rakuten, but actually lots of times don't provide any cash back at all and deny any claims. I have never been denied cash back on Rekuten when I've actually completed the purchase, unlike here. Don't use!

cash back from purchases
Hello Lisa! Thank you for taking the time to send us your feedback. Your feedback is very important to us.
BeFrugal is an online Cash Back Portal that connects you to the cash back from the Merchants. BeFrugal works solely with the Merchants when it comes to cash back, meaning that it comes from the Merchant, not us. Once you place a purchase, the Merchant will acknowledge the pending cash back within 7 days, making it "Verified". Due to the cash back coming from the Merchants, they have given us an Estimated Time Frame of Up to 120 days for the Cash Back to go from "Verified" to "Payable". BeFrugal does not get paid until the Merchant has approved of the Verified cash back. Since we pass on the savings to you, once we get paid, you will get paid, and your cash back will become set and eligible for payment.
I hope this information helps! If you have any further questions, feel free to reach out. We are here to help you!
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!
BeFrugal.com is a free cash back, coupon and deal website where you can shop at your favorite stores while saving an average of $27 per order and earning an average of 7% cash back. Shoppers can combine coupons, deals and cash back for maximum savings at over 5,000 stores when they shop online.

They do say, "times go by when you are having fun"! We understand that it can take some time until you see a "Verified" status becoming a "Payable" status. Although, before you know it, your cash back is already Payable and you can make that Payout Request! If you have any further questions, feel free to reach out and we will assist you!
