Honey

Pushed me to buy a gift card to save $5 at checkout. The gift card didn't apply so I was charged the regular amount, couldn't use the promo code I wanted, and now have to use this gift card

I was given an offer of $100 Bonus Honey Gold on a purchase. The reward did not post to my honey account after I made the purchase. I contacted their customer service multiple. I got no reply. After 6 months, I filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau (against PayPal who owns Honey).

They gave me a canned response that stated:

"We determined your Honey account is not eligible for this reward as we found your account's behavior to be in violation of the Honey terms".

And "PayPal reserves the right to suspend or terminate, in its sole and absolute discretion, your participation in the PayPal Rewards Program".

And "termination of your participation in the Rewards Program (or your PayPal account) will result in the immediate forfeiture of all Points and unused Rewards".

I have no idea what behavior they were referring too. I did nothing out of the ordinary. I was never given a warning about anything. Or told that anything I did even irritated Honey in the slightest. I suspect I will never know.

But they did terminate my account and confiscated the entire balance of my account (which wasn't significant).

I will avoid them like the plague.

I have accumulated gold and can't redeem them.
Worst customer service, no answer to emails or to the chat.

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!

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.

This website will not let you cash out your money. Their customer service is rude as well. STAY AWAY from this website. DO NOT USE! I repeat, STAY AWAY at all costs!

Linganguna, I never imagined we'd find ourselves here. I know things weren't always perfect, but I truly believed we could weather any storm together. You were my partner, my confidant, and my greatest source of joy. Even now, I hold on to the memories of laughter and love we shared. I wish I could understand what led us to this point, but more than anything, I hope you find the peace and happiness you're searching for. You'll always hold a place in my heart. WHY LINGANGUNA HOW COULD YOU BE SO HEARTLESS (ye reference)

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 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.

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.

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.

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!

I purchased a honey gift card, which did not work on the site that I was on. I am now out the money I paid!' Thieves with no conscience.

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