Honey App Reviews
The Honey App, found online at JoinHoney.com, is a browser plugin extension whose creators state aims help users find coupon codes on over 30 thousand websites.
How Does Honey Work?
The Honey App is a service that automatically finds the best coupon codes for the website you are shopping on and then allows you to apply the coupon to your order when you check out.
In order to use the Honey App, you simply need to download it and install it on your desktop browser. The Honey button will appear in your browser bar.
Whenever you are shopping at one of their partner stores, you can click on the Honey button to view all available sales and coupon codes.
If you are already in the checkout process, you can click the Find Savings button and Honey will automatically find and then apply the best coupon or coupons for your purchase.
This website also says that they offer something called HoneyGold, which customers get when they take advantage of an exclusive offer. This HoneyGold can eventually be used toward rewards like Amazon gift cards, and more.
Mobile Options
At this time, the Honey App is available on desktop versions of Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Opera.
The website states that they are currently working on expanding their desktop browser options, and have a plan to offer a mobile application in the near future so this app can be used when mobile shopping.
Cost/Price Plans
The Honey App is completely free to download and to use at this time, and the website says that they are able to provide this service completely free to their members because they earn a small commission from the stores they partner with at certain times when one of their members makes a purchase.
Refund Policy
Because the Honey App is completely free to use at this time, they do not offer their customers a Refund Policy, and any customer who uses this app to make a purchase must go directly to the third party website where they actually made their purchase and follow their stated Return and Refund Policies.
Customer Service Contact Info
Customers who would like to contact Customer Service with any questions, concerns, or complaints can do so by submitting them directly to their website through their Contact Us link on their website.
Reputation
Currently the Honey App appears to have very positive reviews, both from their users and from technology blogs and websites that are excited about the concept of a browser extension being able to automatically apply coupon codes.
Unfortunately this website does not provide a lot of information about how their HoneyGold rewards program works and what people can expect to earn from it if they decide to take advantage of the exclusive offers that earn it for you.
Competitors and Alternatives?
There are many other mobile applications that attempt to help people save money with their regular shopping habits, including Quidco, Ibotta App, and many others.

Impossible To Communicate With...
Here's the deal - I waited forever to redeem all my Honey points and finally did so, choosing to get Amazon Gift Cards. When I went to the site, and this was MY oversight, I chose Amazon Canada instead of U.S.
I have been trying for two months to speak to someone...ANYONE about cancelling and reissuing those gift cards and cannot for the life of me get a response. I've even been in touch with PayPal, their parent company - each time I'm given a canned response or hung up on.
Sure, getting that $160 gift card is great, but Canada charges twice for stuff and I'd rather purchase in the U.S. and get more.
BOTTOM LINE - NICE TO GET COUPONS, BUT THE COMPANY IS TOTALLY INEPT AT COMMUNICATION...IMPOSSIBLE TO SPEAK WITH ANYONE AT HONEY COUPON. Even PayPal said they couldn't get a response from them. What the heck is going on?!?
Removes working codes from the cart!
This app removes working codes you already have in the kart. Then it claims none of the codes work and you have the best price. That is after it has removed your working codes and increased the final price. The app is also good at pointing you to more expensive and not related products. Spams you the entire time you're trying check out and rewards you with 0 gold almost every single time you activate it.
I had suspected this was a scam and your review is just what I needed to verify as such. Not confirmed but have plenty of validity to believe this is just a piece of a much larger scam.
And the fact that it's hitting you with above cost pricing despite your discount codes rings familiar as I am dealing with a situation very similar and I think it's one aspect of how they screw you out of money.
You use these mobile services often then this pyramid scamming Dudley Do Wrong comes along with a slight of hand look this way as I scam your money that way posing as legit companies after signing you up for some analytical company and then registers your device as one of their company devices after they have hacked it and removed your backups and recoveries leaving you no recourse after they initiate an Ota update swapping out the OEM software no matter what you think or whether you want it or not.
This is all accomplished by clicking on what you or any other user would assume was a legit terms used as a standard for most honest and nothing to hide businesses. This scammer plays on words really blurring the lines of criminal business practices, and Federal law breaking. I could never imagine a judge upholding their sneaky pps they insert at awkward times all so they can complete stealing from you.
Scam
History of items faked
Honey is telling me this is the best price in 30 days when these speakers jumped from $100 to $260 on amazon. I noticed when amazon didn't ship the package I ordered forced a refund for running late.
So they could cash in on the price hike! Honey said best deal in 30 days when purchased @ $100, and also best deal when it jumped a few days later @ $260! Total scam! Same link and everything.
Very Important to know that it finds the best deals for you!!!
I wasn't really sure how Honey worked when I first got it! I had no idea how to use it! But after I went on Shein I wanted to make a purchase! Honey instantly found good coupons for me to use on my purchase!!
Honey went through 12 coupons to find me a good deal with my purchase my original price was 54 dollars and it brought it down to 45 dollars!!
It may not seem like a lot to most people but that really helps save money in my pocket!!
Barely saves you money
No thanks, Honey.
Honey, a total scam.
Honey is a bloody scam made by people who only care for money. They used Mr Beast for adverts and that Honey is a great app, you can save money...NOT TRUE!!!!
Honey leaves hundreds of emails a day. I get thousands of phone calls and they are even calling on my son's phone! A couple of days ago, I had to spend hours looking for my email address because HONEY CHANGED IT!
During this pandemic, everything that people advertise are scams to make as much money as possible. For example, Starscope Monocular, Honey, Ecosia, etc.
Never trust the Internet. Don't let greedy people make money and lose yours.
Have never saved anything!
pretty good!
It is an advertising scam.
They say the app is free. come on, NOTHING is free.
they say they get a commission from the vendors. FALSE.
they make their money from selling the information, from the suckers that join the app. hence, a flood of emails, snail mails, and phone calls from dozens and dozens of companies that you have never done business with.
Thank you. That's why I am searching about it. I usually search for coupon codes when checking out online and the idea of Honey is appealing to me, but I am trying to figure out their angle. The way they are running ads all over tells me that they aren't sustaining themselves on a tip from the seller. I'll be damned if I need a bunch of targeted ads based on things that I already bought.
SCAM.
acting chops?
Scam!
Same thing happened to me.
Not credited
Used to be good, but not worth it anymore.
I do not like having my information shared with all the other companies.
Maybe you should read before you click accept on everything in a sign up process, if you agree for them to share your email, then they will. I've had no emails because I knew not to agree to it.
I signed up for honey and was really enjoying the discount coupons but when it came time to collect my honey gold I realized that my email had been changed to Russian affiliation,and a email name I never heard of, my amazon gift cards went to it, I tried changing it several times but it kept going back to that bogus account so I opted out of the app
Watch Your Personal Information
Thank you so much for sharing and awesome advise.
This can in no way access your payment information as a Chrome extension, stop trying to scare people
Horible
Have that problem with Amazon period! Has nothing to do with honey. Amazon is not a good way to judge Honey.
check your email address with them
they use codes that might've already expired. they cant really help it. i used it today and only 1 of 5 worked but it still saved me for 40 bucks
I Love It!
lol Vivian do you think people can't pick up when someone who works for the company is writing these reviews? Like literally you couldn't have made the fakeness of all your replies to these comments more obvious.
I happen to agree. I've been using Honey for over 6 years. I got a return in credits of nearly $200 from Lowe's when I bought my new Refrigerator, stove, and microwave. I cashed them in with no issue at all. I also save a couple of bucks every time I order Domino's pizza through using their 'gift card' purchase feature. I don't know what all the hate is about.
