The rules constantly change
The rules constantly change. Seems to be done in a way that ensures they do not have to pay out large cashback amounts. Website confirmed travel was eligible for a referral and it was paid. The first time I contacted I was told to check back 90 days after travel had been completed. Now I am being denied because I 'should have reached out within 60 days of booking'.

Hi Carson,
We're sorry to hear about your experience and understand how frustrating this must have been. We don't change our policies to avoid paying Cash Back, and we apologize if the guidance you received about the time frame was unclear.
For travel purchases, we rely on our travel partners to track, report, and confirm eligible bookings before Cash Back can be paid. Changes to a reservation, such as modifications or cancellations, can also affect Cash Back eligibility based on the partner's terms.
We'd like the opportunity to review your case again and answer any questions you may have. Please contact our Customer Care team at [email protected], and we'll be happy to take another look.

No issues
No issues. I have bene using it for about 10 years. I haven't had any issues receiving payment and it is pretty easy to use on my computer and iPhone.

Another one of my favorite cashback sites
Another one of my favorite cashback sites. Love that there are many stores to choose from, and to cash out, you need at least $0.01 to have a direct deposit via ACH (American Clearing House). PayPal and Venmo are other options (don't rember if PayPal or Venmo charges you fees, and the minimum is $0.01. They do Zelle if your bank supports it (not all banks support Zelle), and the minimum is still $0.01 as well.
The only weird thing (doesn't affect my 5-star rating) is that if you want to cash out via check, the minimum is $25. I'd rather direct deposit via ACH or Venmo. They also have a rewards program where you can redeem 5,000 points, and $5 will be available in your account. You can also earn points for your grocery shopping trip as well.
I really like this app. I check it first before shopping for anything online because I like getting a little something back for things I am going to buy anyway. I love how easy it is to get my money and even when items I purchase are on sale I still get cash back! I would recommend this app to anyone that shops online.
BeFrugal is awesome! They always have the best cashback deals; payout is easy and fast! I love BeFrugal!

Do not use this App/Befrugal, They will steal your cashback and automatic reducing your balance, after 1 payout your account will be broken,and never payouts again,they are stealing your balance little by little. This is a scam website/app

Hi,
We're sorry to hear about your experience. BeFrugal does not reduce members' balances or withhold eligible Cash Back. Cash Back is only paid after the retailer confirms the transaction and pays a commission, and if a retailer does not approve a transaction, BeFrugal does not receive payment either.
We understand your concerns and would like the opportunity to review your account and address any specific issues. Please contact our Customer Care team at [email protected], and we'll be happy to investigate and answer any questions you may have.

I had a $40 offer and they refused payout. The offer was buy a VPN for $40 and get $40 back. They never paid out and said I was the fault. I sent them documentation of purchase and still denied. It took a over year to finally say they were not going to pay. Look to other cashback companies for reliable money back.

Hi,
We're sorry to hear about your experience and understand how disappointing it is when expected Cash Back isn't approved. BeFrugal reviews missing Cash Back claims with the retailer, but we can only issue Cash Back after the retailer confirms the transaction and pays a commission. While documentation can help us investigate, the retailer's final determination ultimately decides whether a purchase qualifies.
We regret that this process took longer than expected. If you have any additional questions or would like us to review the details again, please contact our Customer Care team at [email protected].

Inconsistent cashback tracking
Used them for many years for cashback. Unfortunately, cashback did not always track despite all necessary steps being taken (ad blocker disabled, VPN disabled, etc.) and customer support was less than helpful / understanding in trying to resolve related issues. Will switch to one of the many other cashback providers moving forward.

Hi Vincent,
Thank you for being a longtime BeFrugal member, and we're sorry to hear about your recent experience. We understand how frustrating it is when Cash Back doesn't track as expected, especially when you've taken steps to help ensure proper tracking. While we do our best to investigate missing Cash Back claims, we ultimately rely on the retailer to confirm eligibility and attribution before we can issue rewards.
We appreciate your feedback about our support experience and are sorry we didn't meet your expectations. If you have any additional questions or would like us to review a specific order again, please contact our Customer Care team at [email protected].

Home Depot never pays out
Home Depot never pays out. Customers beware. And as many times as you open up a case with "Todd" from BeFrugal, you'll never get it resolved. They come up with the same BS excuse and never bother investigating when it consistently happens. I'll be switching over to Rakuten moving forward. I already requested my final payout from these con artists.

Hi Ramiro,
We're sorry to hear about your experience and understand your frustration. Home Depot Cash Back, like all retailer offers, depends on the retailer confirming that the purchase was properly tracked, eligible, and attributed to BeFrugal. While we do investigate missing Cash Back claims, we're only able to issue rewards when the retailer approves and pays the commission.
We're also sorry if our responses left you feeling that your concerns weren't fully addressed. If you have any additional questions or would like us to review your case again, please contact our Customer Care team at [email protected]. We appreciate your feedback and the opportunity to assist.

Good when it works
Good when it works. About to make a large purchase, I made sure to open new window with link. Click through add items to cart, double check link is still active, then place order. Did NOT get credit, open a support ticket, wait 2 weeks, claim was denied. This has happened at least 3 times.

Hi,
Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry to hear you've experienced tracking issues, especially after taking the time to ensure Cash Back was activated before placing your orders.
While we do our best to advocate for our members, Cash Back ultimately depends on the retailer attributing the purchase to BeFrugal. If the retailer doesn't confirm the transaction or reports it was credited through another channel, we're unfortunately unable to issue Cash Back.
If you'd like us to review any of these orders again or answer any questions about the decisions, please contact our Customer Care team at [email protected]. We'd be happy to take another look.

I don’t like this app at all
I don’t like this app at all! Worst customer service. Everytime I’ve contacted them they give url copy and paste responses that don’t answer your questions. Now the last several times I’ve emailed them they don’t respond at all! They have too many glitches on the app too. There is no live chat even though it’s listed on their app too. They turn down receipts that are legitimate and for whatever reason I have ZERO surveys to do for points. It always says unavailable. Much better apps to use out there don’t waste your time!

I had a great experience with the website. I justwithdraw today
I've legit been using BeFrugal and getting payouts since 2017. In my experience, 90% of the time they have a higher % cash back than any other cash back site (and I have compared). They're always offering additional cash back bonuses on your purchases and even additional cash back on some of your redemption options (like right now I'd get an additional 5% back if i request a virtual Visa card instead of Paypal). If I've ever had a missing cash back situation they've been very responsive when submitting a ticket. I just wish the deals were more relevant to my search history but that's not really a complaint.

I love BeFrugal
I love BeFrugal, been using it for a couple of years now. It is kinda slow for your confirmed cashback to become payable, but it is legit - I've received numerous payouts 👍
