Hi May,
We’re sorry to hear about your experience. BeFrugal is not a scam — we work directly with over 5,000 retailers, and every Cash Back or reward is paid only after the retailer confirms the transaction. If something hasn’t shown up for you, it’s usually due to a tracking or eligibility issue that we can help investigate.
Please reach out to us at customercare@befrugal.com with your order and account details and we’ll be happy to review what happened and make sure any eligible Cash Back is properly credited.

Great deals and payouts.
This is the third request I have made. I find find Be Frugal to be honest and forthcoming. Always check Be Frugal first when ordering on-line. Rebates on top of rebates!

Free Cash Back for Buying What You Already Planned to Purchase!
I gave 5 stars - because you are basically getting a cashback bonus for purchasing items you had already planned on buying. It's a no-brainer. This is on top of the rewards you might also get, depending on what credit card you use for your method of payment. Also, I have found some really great BOGO and stacked opportunities on body wash, toilet paper, etc. I've cashed out twice, $50 and $25...it's free money. Thumbs up from this Savvy Shopper!

I have sent proof in TWICE regarding an offer in the rewards section for playing games. They offered 8000 points for an accumulated purchase of 9.99. I spent 14.96. Sent screen shots in twice and have been basically ignored, ran through the ringer made to jump through hoops and they STILL WILL NOT CREDIT MY 8000 POINTD. I NEVER WOULD HAVE SPENT THE MONEY ON A GAME HAD I THOUGHT THEY WOULDNT COME THROUGH.

Hi,
We’re very sorry for the frustration this has caused — especially after you took the time to submit proof more than once. Earlier this month, we experienced a temporary reporting delay affecting some BeFrugal Rewards game offers. This caused certain rewards to take longer than usual to verify, and we understand how disappointing that must have been.
This issue should now be resolved, and your points should credit once the system finishes updating. If you are still not seeing your 8,000 points, please reach out to us at customercare@befrugal.com with your account email so we can review your submission directly and make sure the reward is properly applied. Thank you for your patience.

Scam company
Scam company, they told me if my account has been suspended but
i still have a cashback inside my account. $480 .they did not allow me to withdraw it.
Customer service is hiding behind "noreply" email .
They only need your money,they never help you if your cashback is missing.it will pending forever.
And if you have a large cashback. they will suspend your account.
Rakuten, Topcashback and Shopback are much better than this scam company.

Exceptional
I’ve been using BeFrugal for all my online shopping, and the cashback process is always smooth and reliable. The tracking is fast, and I always receive my cashback as promised. Customer service is quick to help if there’s ever a missing claim. Highly recommend BeFrugal — one of the best cashback platforms out there!

This company is a fraud
This company is a fraud. Even after their website detected that I purchased a qualified product from the merchant, they denied my claim. It seems that any single cashback above $50 is automatically denied, and they will use "investigation" as a farce to delay and eventually deny your rightful cashback.
Remove this extension from your browsers. You are giving this fraudulent company your data for nothing.
I am going to file complaints with all the government entities that regulate financial transactions and web safety.

Hi Niket,
We’re truly sorry to hear about your experience and appreciate the opportunity to clarify how our Cash Back process works. Every purchase tracked through BeFrugal is reviewed carefully with the retailer before payout, and we never deny valid Cash Back. If your claim was denied, it’s typically because the retailer reported the purchase as ineligible — for example, due to use of another coupon, loyalty program, or technical tracking issue beyond our control.
We can assure you that BeFrugal does not automatically deny Cash Back of any amount. Our investigations are legitimate and required so that we can verify transactions directly with the retailer before issuing payment.
We’d like to take another look at your specific case and help resolve it. Please email customercare@befrugal.com with your claim ID or order details so our team can review it directly with the merchant and ensure you receive any eligible Cash Back. Thanks!

One of five cashback sites I use regularly. Competitive rewards with fast turnover on payout requests. I shop online for items I can't get from small businesses. The small cash back payouts add up!
I started using BeFrugal Nov. 2019. It came up in a search for online coupons as I rode the train home on Thanksgiving night, nieces' Christmas wishlist in hand.

Convert points to cash back. So easy
I was so surprised to see that I had points on my account. So after a little search for more info, I was able to convert some of the points to an e-gift card to my favorite retailer. Soooo Easy.

High commission. Cashbacks are pretty high. I think the only downside is sometimes some cashbacks are not recorded, but more often than not, you get the cashbacks. So far, I'm happy with Befrugal
