Stolen affiliate links and egregious data collection.

Scam

Steals affiliate commissions.

Unethical business practices masked as consumer benefits.

The extension actively hijacks affiliate links from content creators and small businesses, replacing them with their own - even when they don't provide any actual discounts.

Their partnership model with retailers actually prevents users from finding better deals, as they deliberately show limited discounts while better ones exist elsewhere. Recent investigations have shown they can swap referral cookies without providing any value to the customer.

Save yourself the trouble and just search for discount codes manually.

I have been using it for years not knowing that it is a scam to make money off of consumers, merchants and even "influencers". I never take an influencers side, but honey is just a massive scam by PayPal.

Commits fraud, is a scam, steals money

Horrible company, steals commissions from content creators.

Honey is a scam that poaches affiliate and referral links (or turns your purchase into a "referral"), even when not finding any coupons or "deals", in addition to flat out lying about the existence of working coupon codes. I used Honey long before PayPal bought it and I don't know if it operated on the same mechanics then, but now it is absolutely just a way to funnel money to PayPal via affiliate link poaching.

Big scam - it was too good to be true.

1. You can almost always find better deals yourself by searching manually online, despite what Honey advertises.

2. It steals money from affiliate links - if you've ever watched a YouTube video that convinced you to buy a product, and used that YouTuber's affiliate link, they get a commission for the sale. However, if you use Honey in that process, they will steal credit for the sale of the product - whether or not Honey finds you a discount!

Thieves

This extension does not do as advertised. Look into how they sell themselves to businesses they want to partner with: they describe themselves as good for businesses because *they stop customers from looking for coupon codes*. Instead, the company can give Honey a low discount to give to customers, and the customers will think that it's the best code available.
