The Offer
Direct link to offer (our referral link)
- BeFrugal is offering a $35 bonus when you sign up using our referral link and earn $10 in cash back.
Our Verdict
Standard offer is $10 back, so this is a considerable increase but it has been as high as $40 in the past (was $30 last year). We also get a $25 bonus (we tried to reduce this to give the full bonus to our readers but this wasn’t possible) so this is a nice way of supporting the site.
Does the sign up bonus count toward the $25 minimum needed for withdrawal? I’m still waiting to take my first withdrawal on a purchase I made in *May*. I hate this site.
Does befrugle track well? I am thinking of making a big purchase, I googled and it seemed befrugle was offering the highest cash back for that store (5% vs 2% through other portals). However if it often has issue tracking then I think it would be safer to go with 2% portal that usually tracks for me.
I’m glad others have chimed in with their negative experiences. When I signed up though Doc’s link, I didn’t notice it on the post, but the terms said you need to have at least $20 in cash back within a year to get the $30 bonus. What I didn’t realize was that it needs to all be PAYABLE within a year. I had numerous transactions that tracked and showed “pending” but it took so many months to show as “payable”, I couldn’t meet their requirement to be PAYABLE within 12 months and so they wouldn’t pay me the 30 bonus- even though I had much more than $20 in pending cash back from the many orders that tracked successfully. I only shopped through them for the bonus and their rates are often lower than other portals and asking for a rate match is a hassle. Like others have said, some vendors don’t even track. Stay a way from this one. They seem to try to find a reason not to pay you. I only go through reputable sites now that Iconsumer went under, and Drop is nearly impossible to cash out.
I too had bad experience with BeFrugal. I had to submit multiple tickets because my orders were not tracked and all of my cases took 3 months or longer. I would not recommend them.
Did you talk to “Todd” about your issues? I’ve had multiple issues only with big purchases that offer big cash backs, interestingly enough all the small purchase cashbacks track back fine lol.
Terrible company. We had several hundred dollars worth of confirmed rebates, referrals etc and they shut down four legitimate accounts and refused to pay the money owed.
Signed up using DoC’s link, placed an order I was going to do anyway, and the cash back tracked around an hour after the order was placed. Says payable January 16, 2025. Always a pleasure to help out. Thanks DoC!
Absolute trash and gutter of a cashback portal. I would not recommend BeFrugal at all.
Used them multiple times and cash back frequently would not track. Upon sending them an inquiry, they repeatedly say I have popup blockers, disabled cookies and whatever excuse that they can come up with. I now settle with lower cash back from Rakuten/TopCashBack than have to deal with this business. Stay away from them!

What is the cheapest way to “earn $10 in cash back” ?
If there isn’t a way, I will pass on the offer.
You get a 50% cashback boost on your first BeFrugal transaction. Walmart has a bunch of departments at 11% back right now, which should be 16.5% back for a new member. $60.60 in spend would net $10 cashback.
Checkout with Paypal to get 5% back from Paypal’s Walmart offer (activate on Paypal site). Chase Freedom Flex gets 5% back on Paypal this quarter.. Paypal Mastercard or Amex BCE should be good for 3% back on Walmart Paypal checkout.
Just don’t buy a giftcard or pay with a giftcard.
