It's a scam - It steals referral compensation, doesnt apply the highest discount codes and it also partners with the stores to not apply the highest discounts. More Information on this can be found via. "MegaLag" on Youtube where honey is exposed.

Bad deals, overwrites affiliate links. All money goes to to Honey/Paypal. Basically scam.

doing my part - Honey is a scam that steals money from affiliate creators and only exists to benefit corporations, Honey does not find you the best deals.

Affiliate link scam.

scam predator

they have a malicious behavior.
change the affiliate link to steal money.

I can't imagine the amount of money they have stolen from creators. Creators, YouTubers, and influencers use something called an affiliate link, which is basically a way to tell a website that the consumer came from the said creator. Honey interrupts this process and changes the source ID (the identifier for the creator) to make it seem as though the consumer came from or was redirected by PayPal, the owner of Honey.

Disgusting and predatory behavior, PayPal honey. Defrauding your own affiliates is disgusting, defrauding your customers is even more disgusting. Highjacking your own affiliates cookies to receive accreditation for money that is not yours is theft. F*** your little awards of 89 honey points ($0.89usd) for a $35+ order is not an "award" for your premium service, it is THEFT. Any of the people who work for this company and are okay with their model are disgusting people. Quit PayPal Honey if you work there. Uninstall this app because it is committing active theft. I can't wait to see the lawsuits over this one. Horrible f**king people.

This is a deceptive extension. Once installed it will overwrite affiliate cookies on supported sites, meaning that it's always only Honey (PayPal) who gets the commission - and not anyone else where you might have originally clicked an affiliate link.

Extremely shady company

Scammers!!

Scam by paypal mafia !!! Watch MegaLag's exposé on youtube

predatory. injects their own referral code into all stores while leading you to believe they're finding a "deal".

Avoid!

Replaces affiliate codes form content creators I want to support with their own affiliate codes.

Honey injects affiliate links for PayPal into links that you follow, and that includes replacing affiliate links where they already exist. This is super sleazy. More info in YouTube video "Exposing the Honey Influencer Scam".

I used to think Honey was a great way to save money, but I realized it’s nothing more than a scam. This extension might look like it’s helping you, but it’s actually exploiting users and hurting creators and businesses. Honey steals commissions from content creators and businesses by replacing their legitimate affiliate links with its own, which is not just unethical but outright theft. Influencers and small businesses work hard to earn their commissions, and Honey is robbing them blind while pretending to “help” you. The discounts it advertises are often fake, with many users finding that the coupon codes it provides don’t even work. Instead of saving money, you’re left feeling duped. To make matters worse, Honey collects an alarming amount of data, including your browsing habits, shopping patterns, and device information. This level of invasive surveillance feels like a massive privacy violation, and it’s clear the goal is to profit off of you, not help you. Security risks are another major concern, with Amazon even flagging Honey as a potential security threat for its ability to track order history and modify web pages. It’s not just creepy—it’s dangerous. As one user put it, “It’s not about helping shoppers; it’s about exploiting them.” If you value your privacy, your wallet, and your trust, stay away from Honey. There are better, more honest options out there. Warn your friends and family, and let’s demand better from companies that claim to support consumers.
