by mgclpcrn, 3 months agoAs y'all have seen from other comments, Honey has been scamming both consumers and influencers out of our money.
They've lied to consumers about finding "the best deal" when in reality many of the businesses they partner with and offer coupons for have asked for them to be selective about the coupons they offer. This screws us consumers over because we then don't think to scour the internet for better deals that are likely out there.
For your favorite influencers, whenever you click an affiliate link they provide, if you click on ANY Honey pop-up, it'll override their commission and that commission goes to Honey instead. And even further, even if they "give you rewards" for that commission they made, you're potentially getting less than 1% of that commission.
I should've known from the beginning it was too good to be true (apparently Markiplier even predicted years ago that something was off about Honey even if he didn't know what), but I especially should've known something was wrong when Paypal with their annoying selves bought Honey.

- Rated 1 out of 5by F34, 11 days agoStraight trash addon. Total scam, deserves to be review bombed. This addon was created with the "purpose" of "helping" consumers save time looking for coupons. In reality, all it does it prevent you from searching for coupons by assuming what it's showing you is legitimate. Many third-party studies have been done about this since it's been exposed, and it's legitimately just a scam. Don't download, if you have it downloaded, uninstall. Easy, simple, proactive solution to avoid being screwed by this unethical company.
