Cash back comparison
We compared rates across the stores we track, plus how each platform actually pays you - minimums, methods, and speed.
Store rate comparison based on Savvli's tracked catalog. Payout terms verified independently.
Sorted by whichever platform's rate is higher.
| Store | Rakuten | BeFrugal | Higher rate |
|---|
On rate alone, Rakuten had the higher rate on more of the stores we track (9 vs 1, with 8 tied). But minimum payout and payout speed matter too - check the payout details below before deciding.
Rakuten: $5.01 - balances below this roll over to the next quarter. BeFrugal: $0.01 for PayPal, direct deposit, Venmo, or Zelle. $25 minimum for a mailed check. Compare these against how often you'll actually hit the threshold based on your shopping habits.
Rakuten pays quarterly (mid-Feb, mid-May, mid-Aug, mid-Nov) for the prior quarter's confirmed earnings. BeFrugal pays on demand once cash back reaches payable status (typically 30-90 days after purchase, set by the retailer).
No - cash back is tracked by whichever platform's link you clicked through last before checkout, so using both on the same purchase doesn't stack. Pick whichever has the better rate and terms for that specific store.
