This extension is a scam. They steal affiliate links and let businesses control the discount amounts.

Honey does not do what they claim. The coupons are curated in agreement with the websites. It will not apply discounts that exist with larger discounts if the store has blacklisted them via Honey.

It doesn't find you the best coupons, it inserts their own affiliate links even over others you may be trying to use. This is hot garbage, don't use it.

I would have never installed it if I knew they intentionally don't always offer the best coupon codes (companies can choose which coupons Honey displays if they become a Honey affiliate) or that they were poaching affiliate links even if they didn't even find a working coupon code! That's right, just clicking on Honey's "okay" button if it says it didn't find any coupon codes will credit Honey for the sale rather than the person who actually directed you to it and whose link you may have intentionally clicked. I personally have sought out affiliate links in the past by creators whose work I like but can't afford to financially support in other ways. I am so sad to learn that having Honey installed for the past few years means that if I clicked on it -- and I probably did -- the creators NEVER saw any of that money, despite being the ones to actually sell me on the product and rightfully deserving a commission.

I don't know if it's fair to call this a scam legally, but I certainly feel like I was deceived and that I would not have downloaded the extension if I knew the true nature. I also very rarely got working coupon codes and was starting to be a dissatisfied customer even before I found out about how it actually works. (Seems like the coupon codes getting worse coincided with the PayPal acquisition...go figure.) I should have known better than to install something free claiming to save me money.

Scam that ripoffs money from affiliate links.

This app steals and sells massive amounts of your data, purposefully does not show you the best deals and discounts, and hijacks the affiliate revenue from creators. Uninstall this app and spread the word.
