Overwrites affiliate/referral links/cookies, poaching untold amounts of ad link revenue from content creators that influenced a purchase to begin with. Fails to offer most available, valid public coupon codes on stores partnering with Honey. DOES offer up customer-unique or group-exclusive codes NOT meant for public use on stores NOT partnered with Honey, costing small, independent stores significant revenue in a racketeering-like scheme.

Das Add-On ändert Reflinks, ohne darüber zu informieren (wenn man über einen Reflinks z.B. eines Influencers auf eine Website gelangt und dann versucht, über Honey einen Rabattcode einzulösen, ändern das Add-On den Reflink, sodass nicht der Influencer, sondern Honey die gesamte Provision kassiert). Außerdem wirbt Honey damit, den besten Rabattcode zu finden, tatsächlich hält es jedoch hohe Rabattcodes absichtlich zurück und nennt dies vor Firmen als Argument, weshalb sie mit Honey kooperieren sollen (weil Leute dann nicht mehr aktiv nach Codes suchen und die Firmen somit Geld sparen). Absolut unlautere und potenziell strafbare Methoden.

It's a lie and scam! Referral links will be replaced by PayPal referral (Honey is owned by PayPal). Yes you hear that right. This browser extension will override referral link and cookies in order to get the referral link, instead of the original referral link you might have clicked on.

Honey will also worse discount codes, since the partners can control the discount codes, to show worse discounts or nothing at all. To think there is no better deal, while there might be.

This should be illegal. How can this add-on be still active?

Overwriting a other people's affiliate links is really scummy.

A complete scam that steals money from users and affiliates. Exposed by MegaLag.

Complete Scam

never got to use my gold, they said I had to link a PayPal account but there was no way to actually do that. Then turns out it's just a straight scam, they don't find the best deals, they let the store owners restrict deals they'll present to you, and they steal affiliate revenue from people who actually refer you.

Straight SCAM on all fronts

JUST EXPOSED AS A SCAM. UNINSTALL NOW.
