Maybe I’m just bad or slow at queries but I almost never found working coupons when I’m ready to purchase.
When I used to have honey (when it somewhat worked), I got a few token percentage off compared to entering codes that were expired or otherwise no longer valid.
Granted, once Honey moved to a rewards based model I dipped out since something didn’t sit right with me about it.
Same thing here. I’ve been using “everything” for long enough to know not to trust… anything… an app is going to get the best discount available for me? Yeah, we’ll just see about that. I just wasnt ever going to not search for coupons myself, so I removed it.
Most people are lazy, or don’t even come up with the idea to do a web search. When they do, most non-techies don’t know or struggle to write an effective search query
This was exactly how I felt about the Honey scam. xD
Very first thought was “how the fuck are they making money enough to advertise??”
I heard about it, downloaded it, tried it. Then i googled for other coupons and found a better one. Deleted Honey right away for being shit.
Im surprised so many people would just trust the app immediately and not try to see if there were better coupons.

Yeah same experience here. Googling for a code at best gets me the promotions already happening on the retail site with the code sites affiliate link.
It may be because when I’m looking for codes I’m already buying high price low margin products like TVs.

I tried it but never got coupons, so I made 10$ in honey gold, then I forgot about it until I saw the controversy
