Honey will tell you on occasion that you can save money by purchasing a gift card through them. This is not always true. Recently, by purchasing a J. C. gift card through Honey I actually had to pay more. My basket was 44 dollars before Honey said I could save 3 dollars by purchasing a gift card through them. So, I bought the $41 dollar gift card, and not only did my basket not change to $41 dollars, but it changed to $55! So, by using the gift card honey told me to buy, I actually had to PAY $11 dollars more than I would have otherwise.

Worst of all, when I contact Honey support chat, they were less than helpful and refused to do anything to make the situation right.

It's a scam. When I purchased the gift card they did not ask me for confirmation and I do not have proof anymore. It suddenly made the transaction go through even when it did not ask me for confirmation. I do not remember clicking it and would remember if shown. Refund this asap please Paypal team.

I am trying to redeem $169 for the last 6 days, with no luck. I send multiple emails, chat, Twitter messages, still not a single response since then. Don't waste time using this cashback site.

I have over $100 in vested "Honey Gold" in my account but their website won't allow me to complete the redemption process - it just freezes after I hit the submit button. Multiple inquiries to their customer service email with no responses. No other way to reach them. They blocked me on Twitter when I DM'd them for help! Never experienced anything like this with any other cashback site. Scammers.

I ordered Shari's Berries using a "Honey" deal with their gift card. Shari's missed the delivery date and refunded the money to Honey. My Honey account does not show the refund. I have emailed multiple times with no response. They do not list a phone number on their website so you have to Google it. I finally found it, and I have left messages with no response. I guess I am out $130. Thanks Honey for being a scam artist.

Recently purchased a pair of shoes on Zappos which Honey was offering a cashback reward for the purchase. Appeared as pending on my account then disappeared after a week. Reached out to Honey support. Long story short they were not going to honor the cash back offer.

Honey is a very good website. It will search all the coupon codes then test and use them. Then it saves a amount of money. Plus its free so its like free money!
It had saved over 160 million dollars from coupon code discounts.
Plus its safe to install!

This is the worst extension ever. Not only has it NEVER found any discounts for me, but it has even REMOVED promo codes that were originally on my order in order to try and find a better discount. So I couldn't even use the discounts I had on my purchase before Honey removed them. The only time Honey ever found any savings it was a whole... ONE PENNY! You've got to be joking. This extension messes up my computer and takes my own deals away and replaces my purchase with no deals. And why does it take THREE MONTHS for Honey gold to show up on my account? There is literally no reason why it should take that long. It's all virtual and the gold is not a tangible object. Why can't it just be automatically applied after the purchase? This is so stupid and I'm not waiting three months for a 99 cents credit. What a joke. I'll be deleting my account and reporting Honey on other websites as well. DON'T USE HONEY!

It's quite useless and the advertisement promises more than it can do. Extremely annoying advertisement keeps ruining my day as well.

Honey is supposed to find coupons and discounts for products online, mainly Amazon. On Amazon.com, it suggests different sellers with lower prices for the same item sold by Amazon. It also tracks price history and graphs the price changes. None of this works on Amazon.co.uk. Simply put, if you live in the UK, don't waste your time. They offer Honey "gold" on eBay purchases. Collect 1400 honey gold and get a £10 gift card. Only it takes up to 90 days to get the gold credited to your account... if at all. Again, if you live in the UK, don't waste your time. It's basically useless.

I have saved so much in coupons alone. It is worth downloading this button. When I have problems not getting app to activate then I am alerted to checkout issues. A nice little feature.(I had Shop Pay automatically activating and asking for a code which was more than annoying.) Customer Service has been kind and helpful. I have been using for five or six months. I have a $10 reward that I can use for a gift card now. I really have been using to find coupons. There is a pop-up where additional cashback happens if you purchase something in 2 hours or so. I have used that once or twice. Overall, a good money saving app.

I absolutely love having Honey installed on my Chrome browser. I am huge on finding the best deals possible so oftentimes I already have a coupon for something before looking at honey. On more than one occasion Honey has gotten me an even bigger discount then what I had originally. I love it when it pops up at the time of checkout and I get to watch all the coupons be applied and see the different prices. I would recommend this to anyone.

While Honey did save me some money, it could often lead to price increases during checkout and then you had to redo the cart to get back to the original prices. This is most pronounced with Swanson Health online store. I also had problems with the extension spuriously triggering at non-retail survey sites. It leads to extra attention to dismiss those unwanted pop ups. When I contacted Honey support, they were quick in response and worked diligently to absolve themselves of responsibility. These guys are parsimonious and not your advocate and seeing how they've been in business for over 5 years, not very capable.

I used Honey as a browser extension for quite a while, most notably on Amazon. Shopping over a great variety of items, I found that the savings that Honey finds for all of the items is either the same savings as Amazon, Walmart, Target etc, and when it does find a difference, it doesn't seem to be more than 25 to 50 cents cheaper. I believe that Honey takes up some unnecessary computer/tablet/phone system resources, which can slow your device down. Not worth it to me.
