    That’s just one issue, there’s also the fact that they partner with stores to give worse coupons than are actually available, by letting them get affiliate money when doing so. And then advertising that they ALWAYS give you the best codes, while getting paid by stores not to do so…

    Theres also another video coming up with stores that have been screwed over by Honey getting hold of codes that are supposed to be hidden/limited. (though that’s honestly on the store, make your limited coupons actually limited to avoid this…) But he only teased this, there might be something wkse/more.

      Slightly scummy on the first front, but then again, if I knew the better codes, I’d just use them rather than use a browser extension.

      On the second front, that’s more the fault of companies not validating exclusive codes.

        Sure but when you advertise we well find you the best price available and you don’t cause the company paid you to give this lower coupon it is fraud.
