PayPal Honey: Automated Coupons & Rewards by Honey
Review by Spil
Rated 1 out of 5
by Spil, 8 years agoHoney has one job, and I found it couldn't do it at all. The entire time I had it installed it found 0 coupon codes that would work for whatever I was purchasing.
Today when making a purchase at a pretty well know retailer I tried Honey yet again only to have it tell me there were 0 coupons/codes out of 14 it found, that would work for me. This didn't seem right as I know this retailer loves coupon codes, specifically for free shipping so I google 'said-retailer coupon codes' and the first website, your standard coupon code farming site (loaded with ads and trackers of course-thank goodness for all the blockers), had on the first entry a 20% off the entire site code, that worked.
The most interesting part of this is that this code did flash on the Honey extension when I tried to use it initially (as it was 'trying codes'), so why wasn't it applied? Why did Honey say it had used it and it didn't effect the price outcome but when I manually entered it it worked correctly? I don't know how this extension is getting such great reviews. I've had this extension installed for almost 3 months now with it doing nothing for me and I shop online A LOT. I'm now wondering how many discounts I could have found myself just with google, instead of trusting this extension to look for me.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Mike Williams, 2 months agoAs Megalag revealed, don't use Honey, they hijack affiliate links.
I ended up using PriceLasso and Keepa for price drop alerts. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 19889410, 2 months agodoesn't give best coupons. swipes any revenue from links you click from actual sponsors. there is a lot of documented info on this on youtube.

- Rated 1 out of 5by SleepyCatten, 2 months agoHoney is a scam. Please see the videos on YouTube by a content creator called MegaLag, as well as many other content creators who have verified the assertion.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Mr Leaf, 3 months agoHoney got review bombed so much harder on Firefox compared to Chrome after the MegaLag Video. It really shows a difference between Firefox and Chrome users.
