BeFrugal review

BeFrugal is an online cashback portal that stands out for how easily you can get your money. It lists up to 40% Cash Back at more than 5,000 stores, along with coupons for 50,000+ stores and restaurant coupons for more than 250 chains. You click through from BeFrugal to a store, shop as usual, and the store reports the order within 7 days. Withdrawals to PayPal, Venmo or Zelle have a minimum of just $0.01, and BeFrugal also pays by check, US direct deposit or eGift card, with most payouts sent the next business day after you ask. New members get a $10 bonus, but it becomes payable only once you have $20 in payable Cash Back within a year. Cash Back is typically available 15 to 60 days after purchase, and travel can take up to 90 days after the stay. A newer BeFrugal Rewards program adds points for receipts, games and surveys.
