Honey takes credit of the sale at checkout from an affiliate link (even without providing value) as long as the user interacts with their pop ups. This even happens when closing a notification where they identify no coupons.

Honey claims to provide the best coupon deals to users without users having to search for discounts manually. Counter to its value proposition, the extension allows their business partners to set the coupons that appear through honey. This may mislead the user into believing they've purchased an item with the best discount when in reality, they were disincentivized from finding the best discount themselves.

Fraud.

Scam extension - Steals affiliate rewards

Scum.
I've always thought the extension was doing something nefarious, like harvesting all of your browser data, so i've kept it disabled 99.999% of the time. But it seems their business practices are much worst.

Honey works with the businesses to prevent you from getting the best deal. They earn money by making your shopping experience worse.

I didn't believe this add-on would do anything else except collect my shopping data and sell those to third-parties, thus making money that way, but HOLY COW does their scummy practice go deep!!

Not only does this excuse of an add-on rarely even find any coupons, but they effectively steal money from everyone who click ANY of the Honey's buttons that show up during online shopping.

Long Story short: Honey redirects referral links from other people (influencers, content creators, bloggers, reviewers etc.) to their own referral links, thus effectively jumping in as a middle man to get those referral bonuses instead of the original referrer!

PLUS they do find the best coupons, BUT REFUSE TO SHOW/APPLY THEM to profit more from each purchase! You're still better off by manually searching for the best coupons.

Honey is a scam, Coupons were almost never there, and still took the commissions away from influencers

Stealing commissions from other affiliations

Esta aplicación sobrescribe cualquier link de afiliados que uses y se lo aplica a PayPal (empresa dueña de Honey). Además de los códigos descuentos como HONEY10/20 son códigos pactados con las páginas afiliadas para no recomendar descuentos más grandes.

Do not use Honey, it steals the commission price from purchases through affiliate links. MegaLag has a good Youtube video on this topic.
