The Offer
Direct link to offer (our referral link)
- BeFrugal is offering a $30 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. We also receive a $30 bonus when you sign up, so this is a nice way of supporting the site (full disclaimer we did ask if they would lower our bonus to $10 and increase the readers bonus to $50 but they declined unfortunately. We always try to forgo our commission to give our readers a better than standard deal but very few go for it as it can upset other promotional partners).
Is this dead? Getting the run around from BeFrugal after recently using your link. Perhaps I’m misunderstanding though, I get $30 and you get $30 after I accumulate $10+ cashback?
How long are your shopping trips taking to track as pending?
I got an email from BeFrugal within an hour or two of placing my purchase.
Signed up. Ya’ll are great.
I signed up using Doc’s referral link. Thanks for all the hard work you do to put together everything for this amazing site.
$30 coming your way. I signed up and bought a pair of shoes I’d been eyeing at Nike. Was 6% back with Rakuten but I got 10% back via BeFrugal.
In my experience, BeFrugal is the WORST cash back portal. Many, many times they didn’t pay. I won’t trust them again.
IME also.
Had to use the state AG consumer complaints mechanisms in two states & a small claims filing to get them to admit that were absolutely wrong and just being obstinate.
Stay far, far away.
Can you help me to get back my account activate, I don’t know why they blocked
I would say that I’ve used BF 10 times or less ever but I don’t recall a purchase ever not tracking there.
Check the BBB site. Their M.O. seems to be to close/delete the accounts of those that complain.
To make this easy – there are some subscriptions that may be a moneymaker. Look at Paramount+ or Peacock, anything that is already being covered by the Amex Plat perhaps. Cancel old account & charge new one with BeFrugal and Plat. Also, BeFrugal offers Cash Back match with all other companies, even beats that by 25%. That means if they’re giving $5 and someone else is giving $10, they’ll end up paying like $12.50. So in essence, it becomes the best affiliate portal out there!
Can we post our referral link here?
This should answer your question: “We also receive a $30 bonus when you sign up, so this is a nice way of supporting the site”
Easy solution
William Charles to your described problem in the Verdict section:
we just tell you once we’re signed up and you venmo us the extra $20 (for $50 total).
Everybody wins 😉
I’m sure that wouldn’t be abused at all
I just subscribed to Amazon Music Unlimitd for $10.99 to make the $10 cashback easy and over with. I’ll cancel the Music Unlimited in 27 days so it doesn’t renew. $29 pocketed. $30 actually because i get 10% cashback from discover it for amazon purchase.
(1) Don’t you have to wait until BeFrugal to pay up before canceling?
(2) Searched for Amazon Music on BeFrugal, nothing showed up.
Amazon Music is listed under Amazon
https://www.befrugal.com/store/amazon/
I am gonna cancel the Amaozn music on day 27 or so. If I messed up then oh well. I’ll never do business with BeFrugal again.
I think we need to earn $10 in cash back, not just spend $10
It said I’d get $10 cashback by spending $10.99 on the sub. It says I have $40 pending now. Not yet payable. So it shows.
