BeFrugal.com Poor imitator of better sites Internet

BeFrugal.com is a click-thru portal for cash back from online shopping. However, unlike the better sites such as Ebates and MrRebates, BeFrugal WILL NOT PAY in all cases. 

In my case, I clicked through to CardCash.com when they were advertising 1% back on GiftCards and because the deal was too good (I spent nearly $1000 --- which is the limit), they decided simply to keep my payment in "Pending" status for months. That's not unusual with cash back portals, but when I emailed them about it, they told me this: 

___________________

Hello,

Thank you for contacting BeFrugal.

This inquiry is still listed as Pending because we never received a response from the retailer. CardCash closed their affiliate program prior to responding to this. We have left it pending in your account so it can be re-visited if the retailer chooses to re-open their affiliate program with BeFrugal in the future.

Best regards,

Todd from BeFrugal.com

In other words, you WILL be hung out to dry by them. 

I have had the same experience with Ebates; they simply apologized and paid me because the link was valid when I parted with my money. In contrast, BeFrugal will RIP YOU OFF. 

Suggestion: stick with the majors and avoid this shoddy knockoff.
