by Firefox user 16989749, 3 years agoFirst, I have to give credit to Honey because it has saved me serious money on a few occasions.
The downside is that this plugin is incredibly annoying if you have it enabled all the time. It's constantly popping up whenever you're on ANY e-commerce site. Adds an extra layer of annoyance if you're just trying to casually browse, get inspiration, or "window shop."
Another downside is that 9 times out of 10, the plugin doesn't come up with any savings at all. But I don't begrudge it too much for this; e-comm discounts are way more tightly controlled these days. One last irritation is that using it is not always seamless; sometimes it will refresh your whole checkout page in a way that requires re-entering info. Obviously this is no big deal if you end up with a good discount.
IMHO it's worth having, but best to keep it disabled unless you're actively finalizing a purchase.

- Rated 1 out of 5by rocket, 2 months agoNothing but a data farmer. Been using this extension for about three or four years, basically as soon as the online sponsorship ads started showing up everywhere. In that time I've only ever gotten two usable coupons from Honey, and saved my self less than 20 dollars. Don't be fooled, these guys make their money by selling your data.
- Rated 1 out of 5by NicolasGE, 2 months agowas using a high amount of ram and rarely if ever got me any coupon codes... worthless
- Rated 1 out of 5by Raven, 2 months agoIt hasn't worked with Amazon in forever, which is the entire point most of us added it. NOW, it wants us to login with PayPal AFTER logging in. I don't care if PayPal owns Honey, they should already have all the info they need, asking for my PayPal password just seems shady AF.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Alkaris, 3 months agoHONEY IS JUST A COMMON EVERYDAY SCAM THAT DOESN'T PAYOUT REWARDS ANYMORE.
While you might be saving on purchases, the rewards system no longer gives out rewards. Honey makes $0 when you save money with coupon codes, because they blew all their funding on Sponsored Ad blocks.
The last time this extension was updated was 4 years ago. so I'd say the team at Honey don't care about it anymore. Don't waste your time with Honey, whatever points you've accumulated over the years, throw your entire account to the trash, as it can't be redeemed on anything. If you try to redeem something it'll say you redeemed your points for it, but doesn't deduct points, or give you the reward you redeemed for.

- Rated 2 out of 5by Rhytz, 3 months agoRarely -if ever- provided a working coupon code, so the popup that claimed otherwise became an annoyance. I deleted it again
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 18553247, 4 months agoAutomatically linked my PayPal account to itself, without my permission. Then, it would not let me login without logging in to PayPal.
Deleted.
Worthless crap anyway...never works, I have used this app for well over 5 years and none of the points ever accumulate, it takes months upon months to get anything back, and when you do, it is a terrible point to purchase ratio and point magically disappear without warning and no way to get any live person on the phone to help with anything.
Save your time, privacy, and everything else and uninstall this bloatware.
