PayPal Honey: Coupons, Rewards Reviews

by I Need A Long Vacation

I installed the new iOS 15 on my iPhone (12 Pro Max 512gb) and installed Honey, as I enjoy using it on my computers. Later, when actually using Safari, I noted that there was a multi-second delay before loading a site, link, or reloading a site. Also, when I tried to swipe to scroll, it would mostly just not respond, or would sometimes start responding after 2-3 seconds. This happens on every screen of every web site. I initially tried closing Safari and reloading, resetting the phone, etc. nothing made a difference. I later remembered that I had attached Honey, and disabled it. The problem was instantly solved. Disabling Honey fixed the problem, so I began to look for correctable issues with Honey. There was an update (2.2.2) in PayPalHoney Store that reported that it improved performance in iOS Safari. Perfect! Sounded like what I needed. However, after installing the update and closing/reloading Safari, the old crippling problem was back. I turned Honey off again, and performance again became crisp. I’m sure this is a bug that they can address, but for now, using Honey cripples my iPhone. I hope it will get fixed soon.

Got PayPalHoney after downloading the new iOS 15 for the new extension feature in Safari, and after clicking “Allow for every site” my phone now freezes for a good couple minutes before I can even use it again… AND the worst part is if you want to disable or stop Honey from searching its list of over 1000 websites you have to disable them ONE BY ONE which is impossible. I am deleting PayPalHoney until they fix this and add a switch that allows you to DISABLE their access to every website just as easily as they ask you to enable it.

I recently tried to sign up to honey because I saw there was a chance to get any gaming console so I was like “I could win a Ps5 I was in shock they were doing this getting my hopes up even though I know it is rare to get a console” so I tried signing up and it said I can’t use my own email I tried 3 different emails and made a new one and it still did not work I was really looking forward to see if I was going to win I knew this was never going to happens because I can’t install PayPalHoney even it pretty much just scammed my emotions!

I’ve joined Honey since 2017 and have racked up a significant amount of points (around 10,000 Honey Gold). One day, I decided to switch my primary email to another email. All of a sudden, my points and everything I added onto my drop list was gone.

I contacted customer service and two months later, my issue has still not been resolved. These points disappeared, just like that, and it was just due to terrible UI. Dealing with customer service is awful, there is also no phone support for me to solve what has happened. There is no record of my history in their system to show that I had amassed all these points, which now have disappeared. So now I have to go into all the websites I made purchases on since 2017, so that I can prove that I earned these points. Customer service does not make any effort to show that they understand or even the least bit apologize.

Absolutely ridiculous. Don’t waste your time with PayPalHoney or Honey.

PayPalHoney advertises that on your online purchases it will apply all the coupons and on the advertisement soo many get applied and it looks like it will help on all your online purchases! this is not the case.. veryyy limited on items that have a discount plus most of the coupons “honey” will show you DO NOT work when applying them. all they are after is for you to download PayPalHoney . you might find something on there homepage that has a discount you like! other than that I wouldn’t waste your time setting up.

Been using PayPalHoney for a while w not problems and I actually liked it, till a few days ago a msg popped up saying “you received a gift card, would you like to apply it to this purchase, so obviously yes. IT ENDED UP CHARGING MY BOYFRIENDS CARD. I gave no permission to sign to pay for ANY gift card and when I contacted them to make it right, they told me to take it up w the store I purchased from! How is this right? U charged a card, that’s not mine, w no ones permission. Also, this is the second review I’ve written bc the first one seems to have disappeared. Don’t use unless your into trickery and thievery. I’d rate no stars but that’s not an option

The new Safari extension on iOS absolutely kills performance. With only around 50 or so tabs open Safari is barely usable when switching tabs or tab groups. At 500 tabs in the main tab group and a few hundred more between the other tab groups Safari is completely unusable and constantly crashes when trying to just load after opening it.

I have several other extensions that have access to all sites like Honey, and none of them have such an incalculable impact on performance.

by Nursethalia

I’m not impressed with PayPalHoney . I tried using it to make a purchase from Brooklinen, and after checking a list of coupons, Honey said that the price of my cart had increased instead (the site had already auto-applied a 10% off coupon for first time purchasers). Honey showed no eligible coupons available that were better than the original 10% offer, but I got on RetailMeNot and immediately found a coupon for a 20% discount that worked.

by Punter16

Excited to have this extension available for iOS but in its current form I can’t recommend anyone use it.

Switching to other open Safari tabs under iOS 15 normally happens smoothly and quickly but with this extension enabled tapping on an open tab results in the tab opening animation beginning, then freezing, followed by a 1-2 second delay before the tab finally opens. Switching off this extension immediately resolves the issue.

I have a loyal happy honey user on my computer since 2016. I would tell everyone who shops online that they have to use this to get all the hidden store codes you can’t find anywhere else! Needless to say I was ecstatic when I discovered this new safari extension allowing me to use Honey on ALL of my shopping devices… it’s terrible! If you have it turned on while trying to use safari to look at ANYTHING it seriously impacts ur browsing speed, constantly crashes safari, and only works the way it does on a computer 15% of the time. It also forces me to restart my phone several times a day bc PayPalHoney somehow glitches ur phone. I’m actually so disappointed & frustrated w it that I have deleted PayPalHoney and stopped using the service all together.

by S_Mosher

Like that HONEY is now available on mobile devices.
Love that it’s capable of automatically applying the codes at checkout… saving me the hassle of copying and pasting codes myself either in the HONEY app and with the extension on my browser.

Don’t like that many codes are invalid, appears many sites codes have not been updated in over a year, probably longer.
Don’t like that the extension doesn’t automatically apply codes on many site’s still.
Don’t like that there are still many site’s that aren’t even listed as available on honey; the name’s of online store’s aren’t even recognized.

Hope HONEY revamps itself and starts providing current valid code’s as I’ve been seeing more success with Capital One shopping and Coupert of late. Feels like I’m wasting storage on my phone, but I keep HONEY installed in hope’s of more active legit code’s being added soon.

Ever since PayPalHoney came out, my favorite feature of Honey was their droplist. It would alert/show you any price change in any selected items. It doesn’t anymore. The old version categorized recent deals to the top with their prices highlighted. This new design has them sorted randomly even if you sort by “hot deals”. If I didn’t have notifications on, I wouldn’t have known my droplisted item went down $10.

I can’t even edit droplisted items to renew the expiration date anymore, so items just disappear when expired and I don’t remember what they were. Honey, why?

by Isabellaconnor

I have had honey on my computer for some time, and it is great there! However, when I got it from my phone, it completely crashed it! Safari would take 10 times the amount to load as usual, and even when I deleted PayPalHoney it still did this. Overall, this is a good extension for computers, but do not download it for your phone or you will experience major lag :(

by Conner Perkins

I get lunch out every day for lunch. I’ve always seen you tubers advertise it but never really paid attention till my co worker who was getting subway told our other co worker Jarrett to order online cause she found a good coupon on honey. That’s when I decided it was time to give it a try and I do not regret it!

by 13579es

Honey seems to be one of the better coupon finders/cash back apps on the market. It actually has a huge database of coupons and I’ve earned 5-6 gift cards so far in less than 2 years. I’ve tried a few other cash back apps (e.g. Rak….n) with less overall results. The coupon finding abilities with Honey alone makes it worth it, for me.

by M.Reichard

Today is the first time my Honey app has actually popped up at check out on my cell phone!! Hopefully it continues to do that because I do everything on my phone well more often than my laptop! My Honey Extension is the one thing I sincerely miss when shopping on my phone. Hopefully it continues to populate at checkout on all my orders that would be fantastic!!

I can’t thank Honey enough. I’m very grateful for not having to sort through so many email/new customer/infinite Google searches to get to save money. Honey does the work for you. While there are people who may give it a less than 5 star review, I have saved money from it. There are no other apps I can think that saves me as much on purchases online - and in life - than Honey

Honey you are awesome

by Teenyvikingchild

I had planned on giving out framed family pictures as a part of my mother and mother-in-laws Christmas gifts, and a couple other family members. I got canvas and wood prints which add up. At checkout, HONEY kicked in and checked out all possible coupons and honeys coupon was better than the stores coupon. I saved $133!! Insane! Thank you!!

by Ninjadude45

I love PayPalHoney, saved 8$ on 1 purchase within five minutes of having PayPalHoney , the hardest part was searching for something to buy, if your skeptical about getting PayPalHoney, just get it, it’ll give you coupon codes where it just instantly cuts money off of what you’re buying

by Chunky3609(dng)

I almost never write reviews, i just tap a star and keep it moving. But I just downloaded PayPalHoney because was a little short on money but my birthday just passed and I wanted to treat myself to something a little nice. I saw the coupon option and immediately thought about those ads I used to see about honey and thought “why not”. Bro.....it saved me $10 on the first coupon I tried, then $12 on the next one I tried, basically canceling out the shipping and then a couple bucks. Guess who just got a late birthday present?

Give it a try, I PROMISE you won’t be disappointed.

by Jeneeva

I keep reinstalling in hopes that it will magically work the way the web version does, but nope. I put $300 of items from several stores that ALL had BLACK FRIDAY PROMO CODES. after an eternity of checking codes, the honey app says it found no working codes and that full price was the best price. Doesn’t apply BOGO or manufacturer coupons. Crashes and doesn’t show accurate results from store items. Sloppy at best.

by Natalie31500

The prices listed on honey are often higher than their regularly priced counterparts. For example, the game GTA V for xbox one is listed on honey for $30, however if you google GTA V, even gamestop has it for half the price.
Another big issue is the selection. There’s hardly anything on PayPalHoney. You would have to just be browsing & not hope for anything specific while using PayPalHoney, because odds are, if you’re looking for something specific, you definitely won’t find it on here. Even if you do, you’ll probably pay more for it than you would elsewhere.
I HIGHLY recommend you don’t even bother with PayPalHoney unless you want to waste your time.

I thought I would stretch my holiday spending dollars by shopping with Honey. My order was cancelled and I received no communication about this. I called, after a month and not having received items I’d intended to give as holiday gifts. I was told my order was cancelled. I was unable to verify information on my account because the vendor had a different email address, credit card number, and order number than my original purchase receipt from Honey. For this reason, I was given only “general information” about my order. I am very let down. I thought I had finished my Christmas shopping on November 25th. Now I am frantic to find the gifts for my grandsons at this late date & get them shipped to Alaska before the holidays. Thanks for NOTHING, Honey!!

I always hear people talking about honey and how great it is. I ordered something two weeks ago and both seemed like good deals and it looked like this was the cheapest place I could find it. Great deals that ai really liked and since I’ve bought the items, Everytime I check it says “pending.” I do not have a confirmation number and I’ve been waiting for a while to see some sort of update. When I want to go check the actually website with the email honey made in place of my own, the “honey wallet” I don’t even see any emails come through when I check PayPalHoney . I’m getting frustrated and I’m wondering why this is happening. I would like to know if this is normal or not, and if it is, how much longer will I have to stay waiting, and if not, then why is it happening to me. Can someone please respond?

by Got To Love The Tomboy

I have honey on both my browser and phone as an app. On my phone, I can no longer look at the items that I want to look at. I, also, can’t buy anything, because when I try to PayPalHoney doesn’t let me go into my shopping bag. If this is just a bug in PayPalHoney , please fix it. If not, then you guys now have some things to fix for the upgrade.

by AkaJonni

So, you know, like the previous review, the application and web extension are totally different which is fine and all but I recently tried purchasing an item through the application, I was told that my order has been canceled and have no clue why or what has happened. Just concerned and would like a bit of guidance on what’s happening

by Eo167337393926

I just downloaded this mobile app thinking it would act like the web extension version of honey, but about 5 minutes after downloading I’m uninstalling PayPalHoney. I realize they are different for a reason, but sharing a name, I feel that I can’t be the only one who has had this experience. I love the web extension version but have zero interest in shopping within this mobile app. Other than that, honey has been great in saving me money for several months now!

by Shdbdbdjjsbsjsmsnns

I have the honey extension on my computer and it works perfectly fine and every store is listed.
When using PayPalHoney however I feel as though some stores are not, dominos is an example I can give, I Order dominos on the extension version and I Instantly get coupons but on PayPalHoney when I try and search it dominos is not listed. I could be using PayPalHoney incorrectly and not notice that the store is listed but I have no clue. Please respond with feedback, thank you.

by Bpotts71

I saw an ad for honey and I thought “I would like to get stuff for half the price almost every time!!” But that didn’t happen. The instructions aren’t clear and many sites don’t show up, for example a,axon didn’t show up when I searched it up. Either it doesn’t work or It just isn’t for me :/.

by ム口刀 刀口ム

I haven’t gone on PayPalHoney yet, but i’ve heard great stuff about PayPalHoney. I’ve heard many youtubers podcasts before like emma chamberlain and learned that you can save a ton of money and i love that! I have an ipad air, and i was wondering if i could use PayPalHoney on a website called romwe. And how does honey work? How do i get the coupon? Will it work with romwe? Does it search for more than one coupon?

by MiguelDelgado2005

I have this on my phone and computer and when I heard people say that it was “free money” and stuff, I was skeptical so I then got it anyways, but it really is free money. It works better on a computer, chrome book or whatever but like a $40 item could go to $32 to whatever it it helps so much!

by ThemCalculators

PayPalHoney is well worth the amount of time it takes to install. Saved a lot of money from trying out the codes and seeing if they could apply to my purchase. Be patient sometimes they’re is discounts sometimes there’s not, simple.

by Gshsjsjd

Honey is great. Although the prices might only be a little smaller than the original price, it still helps you save a lot. There was a ps4 pro 1Tb that was $200 less than original price. I am so very thankful for honey even though thanksgiving was yesterday. If you like to save money, than get honey! :)

I droplisted a dyson hair dryer (usually $400 and does not go on sale) in the Honey app thru Ulta. The next day I opened the Honey app to find a honey gold offer (7300 honey gold) worth $73 on it. For those who don’t know, honey gold is the Honey currency that can be exchanged for most major retailer gift card (100 gold for $1). So it’s equivalent to getting $73 discount on a never discounted item I’ve always wanted. Needless to say I instantly snatched the hairdryer and have now been happily using it for over a month. Since then I realized that a lot of items I droplisted through PayPalHoney received gold offers. Combined w store coupons I’ve gotten so much discount on items that I actually want. PayPalHoney definitely changed the way I shop and I now go to it consistently to get extra discounts I can’t find elsewhere.

I use this on my computer and I am now downloading it to my phone. This website/app has saved me hundreds of dollars. I couldn’t recommend it more!!
