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, depen... See more

Not reputable. Don't recommend.
Not reputable. Don't recommend. Sometimes the software fails and you've property click though shopping sites. The $5 teaser popups are a real scam and they don't work. When you log a ticket Todd blames you, not his software. Closed my account.

Hi Sharon,
We’re sorry to hear about your experience and appreciate you sharing your concerns. Our pop-up bonuses and Cash Back offers are legitimate promotions, but like all affiliate-based programs, tracking depends on the retailer properly attributing the visit and purchase. If another extension, coupon source, or browser setting interferes, the retailer may not credit the order to us.
If you would like us to review your situation further or provide additional clarification, please contact our Customer Care team at customercare@befrugal.com.

This is an HONEST & ORGANIZED Company!
This is an HONEST & ORGANIZED Company! They keep close track of what Percentage Offers we've earned with various Stores/Businesses; then, once our purchases are verified for Payout, we can EASILY & QUICKLY claim our reward--either as Cash or choosing from their selection of Gift Cards. It's a Great way to earn something extra from purchases U were already going to make! I just wish the percentage offers were higher than they've been over the past couple years or so!

Befrugal denied me cashback but surveys on Befrugal Reward has made me money!
I opened an account with BeFrugal on 1/27 and made a purchase at QVC but only the shopping trip tracked. After a week I put in a support ticket. Two weeks after that I hadn't received an update so asked for one and two minutes later I received a canned response telling me that it was denied. Very odd! I asked why and four minutes later they claimed I went through another marketing channel. It seems like canned responses and not an actual person responding to me. When I pushed for more info they just said "this was all the information provided". It doesn't add up as I cleared my cookies and had their Befrugal extension installed. I also took screenshots showing them my history from logging into Befrugal, clicking on QVC, and ordering the product. There was no other open website used so I wouldn't trust BeFrugal for cashback reasons. I've had no issue at all with other sites (Rakuten, TopCashBack, Swagbucks, CapitalOne offers, etc.) I received Cashback on. This is the first time I've ever ran into an issue!
Befrugal Rewards Surveys on the other hand are great. I made $16 doing various surveys that were relatively easy to do and they paid out quickly. So I'm caught in a dilemma on if I want to continue with Befrugal or not. I'll probably just log in to do surveys every now and again and use a more reputable site for Cashback.

Hi Daniel,
Thank you for taking the time to share this detailed feedback. We’re sorry for the frustration around the QVC purchase and the experience you had with the follow-up responses.
When a retailer reports that a transaction was attributed to another marketing channel, it means their tracking system ultimately credited the sale elsewhere. In those cases, the retailer does not pay us a commission, and we’re unable to issue Cash Back. We understand this can be confusing — especially when you’ve cleared cookies, used the extension, and taken screenshots — but final attribution is determined by the retailer’s tracking system, not by BeFrugal directly.
If you’d like us to take another look at the order or provide any additional clarification, please reach out to our Customer Care team at customercare@befrugal.com. We truly appreciate your positive comments about BeFrugal Rewards and hope we can restore your confidence in our Cash Back program as well.

BeFrugal is the best
BeFrugal is the best! So easy to use! I never remember to shop through their portal, but that doesn't matter. The app is there in my browser and reminds me when I am shopping at an eligible store. Getting cash back is simple and fast! they don't make it hard to navigate to the payout page. I have never had a problem - only great experiences!

Hi Ihab,
We’re sorry to hear about your experience. BeFrugal does not deactivate accounts simply for requesting a cashout. Account deactivations only occur when activity is identified that violates our Terms and Conditions or retailer requirements, and these actions are taken to protect the integrity of the platform for all members.
If you believe this was done in error or would like your account reviewed, please contact our Customer Care team at customercare@befrugal.com and we’ll be happy to look into it.

Why is no one talking about the points…
Why is no one talking about the points that can be converted to Rewards? I have not seen this in any of the cash back apps and, trust me, I've tried them all. BeFrugal offers great discounts, cash back and convertible points. I just turned 20,000 points -- that I did not even realize I had accumulated into $20 that I cashed out to my bank account. This app isn't talked about enough.

May not be widely popular, but it does work!
I thought it was skeptical at first because how long it took to get cash-back, but I was able to get it. Very trustworthy and reliable to claim cash back on many products and from many stores. It's 4-stars because of the process it took to get the money back. One business day for payouts, which is awesome!
