very bad
Love it!
I've saved so much using honey. I have saved on Amazon, Groupon, airline tickets and so much more. Not exactly sure how the rewards work, but it doesn't matter. I wish I was keeping track of how much I have saved, but it's over $1,000 easily!
I've personally never been able to use it on Amazon. It always says that it doesn't support that platform.
check for yourself before assuming it found the best deal
Not sure how Honey makes money for itself but I find it very useful and have saved money. What do you mean 'checking yourself in Amazon'?
Vivian, Really? You don't know how to search Amazon for products?
joinHoney.com is a complete SCAM
I joined joinHoney.com in July 2018 when it offered a $30 cash back if purchased certain amount at Macy's directed from joinHoney.com website, which I did.
The transaction pending for a while on joinHoney.com after the purchase waiting to be verify. So I figured like Ebates, joinHoney.com will send a check to me.
Well, the Experience Specilitist of joinHoney.com I chat with, talked like a Used Car Salesmen, refused to honor the offer.
joinHoney.com is a SCAM
I think Honey is great. It saved me money and I love it!
You're a shill though Vivian.
waste of my time
It is greatly annouing
just right click on the icon, and then click options. that will take you to browser extentions and click delete. as it gives you options to deactivate or delete, by deleting it you will no longer have it on your system. worked for me on opera browser
Takes to long for rewards
Not as effective as it claims
I have had the app for over a year now and it has not been more useful than the actual offers displayed on the sites. It does the whole routine of scanning and looking for the best offers and coupons out there for you, but really at the end of it gives you the promo code that is already promoted by the website it is used on.
One would assume that it makes a thorough search on the back end and looks for the active coupons from third party coupon sites like Retail me not etc, but it does no such thing and often comes back with nothing!
I am often successful by simply searching for codes on Google myself. Pretty unimpressive.
I was looking for an app that does what you say, but doesn't bend me over the counter while doing it. Alas, the search continues.
Doesn't always work
I have it downloaded on my computer and a couple of times I have legit saved a good bit of cash... BUT just recently it absolutely failed. When purchasing an item at a website that was 35.00 plus about 9.00 shipping, it ran through the available codes and you could actually see them changing the price in the cart. At one time the price dropped down to $24.00 with a coupon that was 25% off plus free shipping! YET it did not apply that coupon! The honey app continued to scroll until it applied a measly $3.00 off as my best option!
I can certainly understand not always having all the best coupon codes up to date all the time but to have it and still dump it out to enter probably the lowest one that was available at all is pretty odd and makes me wonder how many good ones I have missed recently depending on Honey to find the best.
I went back and hand entered the code that gave me the 25% off and free shipping and ran it again just to make sure it wasn't a glitch as usually if you have the best code already it will say "No buyers remorse you already have the best price" it actually deleted my code and put the $3.00 coupon back in!!!
All and all any app that saves you money that is free isn't bad, just make sure you watch for lower prices when it is scanning and hand enter the codes if it doesn't give you the best option. Humans err and programs glitch! :)
Are the data mining your search habits and selling the information to retailers?
There is no free lunch!
Good question @timfisher and exactly what i was wondering and why I'm reading the reviews. Tag me if you find the answer,I'm not interested in downloading a single thing that's not100% transparent about how they use my info, what they access to get said info, and what exactly their current use of,future use of and intended purpose to collect and store, my data. I can't be the only person who feels this way right? I wish like hell that companies would see that people in general don't care about things like letting you know what ads we clicked or things we buy, but we want to know why you want this info and IF that's the only info you want. It's three being kept in the dark that upsets me. Ask and I'll tell you, but don't covertly spy on me and act like you're doing me a favor with my "free service" . Anyone know where I'm coming from or am I alone in this way of thinking?
EDIT:
It's *the* being kept in the dark, not "three" being kept... (Autocorrect)
I'm guessing the $3 coupon code earned Honey the best kickback from the retailer.
Honey app
It's fine
Wrong. They are selling your information in exchange for providing you mostly nothing. It's actually much worse than nothing.
Wants too much access to your computer files
I don't like that Honey app wants access to information on my computer. I will not be downloading the app.
Same here. It doesn't need access to my information to find other coupons on Amazon. There is something phishy going on. I did not install.
I downloaded then decide not to enable due to its 'access all data' request...
bogus email offer
Thanks, James from BeefSlice.
Increased my order price??
almost order an amazon gift card the honey said was a $50 card for $25. Needless to say wasn't true, it was $25 card for $25.. Don't think i can Honey can be totally trusted, always double check deal then double check again twice. If a deal sounds too good to be true probably is.
Works great and is supper helpful!
It's such an easy site to work with and get great deals from and it's fun to add coupons and know that others can get great deals from them if you can't use them or don't want to use them. Working with customer service also is nice, even more so when I have a coupon that will run out sooner than most and needs it to go up as soon as possible. My only real complaint is that it's hard to tell if your coupon was given to anyone, as it would be nice to see it pop up on the site it has notice of how many times it was used.
All in all, the real question is why haven't you tried it yet!
This sounds like an advert. to me.
Bot-B-Gone!
Is it really "supper fun"! Geez
Me and my cousins we have sooo much fun haning out looking up coupons with this crazy app. It's a wonderful.
What are you guys talking about.
Your crazy
*hanging *It's wonderful *You're
Sadly, Ryan....by June your review goes from 5 stars... to 1.
guess things do not improve with age
Love it
Awesome app!
Thank you Honey!!!
Used to love her - now not so much!
I used to love honey and had been thrilled at the awesome deals they found me. I liked them so much that I recommended them on my blog. My blog readers used them too and I earned lots of honey gold - AWESOME I thought. We'll, that's where the problem began. My first honey gold redemption was for 9000 honey gold. THat's $90 in Amazon gift cards. I was told that i'd have it in less than 24 hours. 2 days later customer service was REALLY apologetic, said that people don't usually redeem that much at once and they send the codes. Fine.
About a month later I went to redeem 6000 in honey gold. After 4 days of waiting I contacted customer service. THey were sorry again and send code for $40 in Amazon codes. I should have received $60. As of this writing i'm still waiting for them to figure it out. I've sent them proof of my redemption requests. I've sent them a link to my blog so that they could understand why/how I have so much honey gold. I'm not trying to cheat these people. I'm trying to get what they promised.
Meanwhile 1/2 the stuff in my Amazon cart is no longer available from the original sellers because this process has taken so long. I'm FRUSTRATED And actively searching for honey alternatives!
I will never have to worry about redeeming so much Honey Gold, so this review was not that helpful, except to know it is a smaller start up and is not prepared to pay out 10's of dollars
WHY WON'T THIS SYSTEM ALLOW ME TO VOTE??? It's as if you're locked-out if you're trying to up-vote this review-it tells me that I've already voted although I KNOW THAT I HAVE NOT!!! Always wondered if these things might be "rigged"-guess now I have my answer!!! Neway, liked Kathy's review=VERY much like numerous other companies I've had similar experience with-SO SAD!!!
Same here....first got a message to log in, so i did. Then, I attempted again to vote. "You have already voted" appeared in green. The voter counts were the same before and after I took these steps. Thanks, Kathy & Nancy, I won't use this resource anymore.
I have experienced the same thing with, receipt hog, swagbucks, and a few others that are no longer in business. TBH the only one that i have had any real success with its ibotta. I get my cash within 1-3 minutes after i tap the cash out button and send it to my PayPal account.I have used the gift card option a few times when they offer s discount (like $20 for a $30 card) and it's available instantly. The most cash i checked out at one time was $260 and there was no problems. Plus it only took me 1 week to earn it.
Never worked for me
Several say it does not work:

I am not sure if it is a scam or just poor performance
Why go to the trouble of googling when Honey does the work for you immediately? I love it!
Vivian Vicky. What personal information does Honey sell to other sellers when you access there site thru Honey?
Not worth it, after you have had your information hacked!
"after you have had your information hacked" please don't say things like this when you clearly don't know what "hacking" is, honey is not malicious, too many people try to scare others.
Vivian Vicky and Alfie Atkinson. Funny thing about alliteration and assonance: it is easy to spot. It seems like it is also easy to fall into a pattern when making fake account names. Interesting that the pro-Honey people all have 5 star reviews with suspiciously similarly constructed names and very few details. Wasn't it Vivian Vicky who saved $40 one time? Wow. I know I am ready to hand over my credit card information! Alfie, did you give any details or just insult someone for being ignorant of an illegal activity?
Seems like almost everyone who has had experience with the company as a customer for any length of time has a similar story with several details revealed in their reviews with the same conclusion: suspected scam.
Those who back up Honey at least have cool names and viciously back their employer...err, I mean . . . no, yeah. That was what I meant.
I think I'll follow the crowd who back up their claims with at least a few details. On the other hand, I could just jump on the wagon with people who have clever names and cumbersome comebacks towards customers who accidentally misuse a word. Yes. I will certainly join with those who bash in the heads of anyone who cares to make a claim against the obviously angelic company who has attracted the attention of people who become particularly perturbed when Honey is persecuted!
