I have been using Be Frugal for several…

I have been using Be Frugal for several years. Just recently checked my balance and was surprised to see how much I had. It would be nice if they would email you a monthly update on the purchases that meet the cash back requirements.

This is a reliable site for cash back.

I have been using Rakuten for years and didn't know about BeFrugal until recently. Its a solid cash back site. I also found some others. So I check all them (4) to see which has the most cash back for which site I am purchasing from. Just use it you will be glad you did.

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'.
The reply I received stated I should contact them. That was done two weeks ago, with no response from the company.

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 customercare@befrugal.com, and we'll be happy to take another look.
