- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 14302611, 7 years agoVery BAD experience. Sometimes it works. Sometimes it doesn't work. MOST times it does not work. Every time I try to use it I typically spend several minutes trying to get it to work and most times I simply give up out of frustration with it.
- Rated 5 out of 5by PrettyProphet, 7 years agoHoney is an amazing extension! It doesn't take up much space and there are times where there are no available coupons, but that happens when we get the newspaper! Honey will automatically search their database for any applicable coupons and more often than not, they find some that save me a lot of money. Just today I've saved almost $50 at two stores because of the coupons.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14301420, 7 years agoToday on 2 orders to 2 different vendors I've saved $19 total, what's not to like. Thanks to GiBi on youtube for the heads up.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14294902, 7 years agoLove this extension. Saves me money and looks for ways to save money without having to do the work myself. Saved me over $100 on auto parts. :)
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14293135, 7 years agoAbsolutely amazing add-on. It is completely free and will save you a dollar here and there to say the least. Maybe you'll get lucky and save double digits on your big orders one day, you'll never know until you install it! Happy shopping!
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14291588, 7 years agoGreat add-on! Has probably saved me at least a few dozen bucks or so in the past few months I've used it. The coupon codes only work 10% of the time, but that's fine, because when they do work that's great! The other features of the add-on are also useful, such as the price history chart and the "best deal" button which can scour a little over Amazon for identical items listed under lower prices.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14290941, 7 years agoactually works! extremely surprised! great seamless takes a second before checkout!
- Rated 1 out of 5by Synetech, 7 years ago*Honey doesn't work anymore; clicking the button no longer opens the drop-down.*
This extension does not work for me. The only online shopping I do is with eBay, and there are *never* any codes for eBay, and even the 0.5% return thing it offers for eBay never works because all of my purchases are always excluded. This extension might be of some value to some people, but certainly not for me.
Also, I do not like that it is constantly watching what sites we visit, even in privacy mode, and phoning home with that information to see if there's a code for the site. That's a huge privacy leak.
UPDATE:
In addition to it never working, it also has no codes for any other sites (it's basically just groupon and other sites that only have useless fake or expired codes).
It also EXPIRES YOUR GOLD, so you could go a long time, slowly trying to inch towards that 1,000 gold minimum to be able to actually get ANYTHING out of Honey, but they'll delete it and force you to start over from scratch. Yes, they're so petty, they'll steal your $1.23. 😒
There's also no way to remove the affiliate that referred you to stop them from getting paid (assuming they actually do), so if you joined Honey with an affiliate link from someone who later turns out to be horrible, too bad, you'll have to either keep helping them out, or forfeit whatever honey-gold you have and delete your account. 😒
MegaLag did an exposé video showing how Honey STEALS affiliate commissions from LITERALLY EVERYBODY! On top of being useless to users, they're also THIEVES! 😠
DELETE YOUR ACCOUNT NOW! (You have literally nothing to lose since I've never seen ANYBODY show they actually saved anything with Honey. 😒) - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14289655, 7 years agoAmazing extension. Saves me so much money. Thank you Honey!
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14289380, 7 years agoSimple to use and nearly always a savings to my purchases.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14286606, 7 years agoUNBELIEVABLE!!! Every time I check out, Honey swoops in and checks for coupon codes--I almost invariably save money. Love it!!!

- Rated 1 out of 5by Spil, 7 years agoHoney has one job, and I found it couldn't do it at all. The entire time I had it installed it found 0 coupon codes that would work for whatever I was purchasing.
Today when making a purchase at a pretty well know retailer I tried Honey yet again only to have it tell me there were 0 coupons/codes out of 14 it found, that would work for me. This didn't seem right as I know this retailer loves coupon codes, specifically for free shipping so I google 'said-retailer coupon codes' and the first website, your standard coupon code farming site (loaded with ads and trackers of course-thank goodness for all the blockers), had on the first entry a 20% off the entire site code, that worked.
The most interesting part of this is that this code did flash on the Honey extension when I tried to use it initially (as it was 'trying codes'), so why wasn't it applied? Why did Honey say it had used it and it didn't effect the price outcome but when I manually entered it it worked correctly? I don't know how this extension is getting such great reviews. I've had this extension installed for almost 3 months now with it doing nothing for me and I shop online A LOT. I'm now wondering how many discounts I could have found myself just with google, instead of trusting this extension to look for me.
