How to use it

Honey is a completely free service. You have the option of using your email to log in and doing so will give access to Honey Gold, its rewards program. Honey Gold is also integrated with Google, Facebook, PayPal and Apple so you can use any of those accounts to log in as well.

 

Honey is available both as an app or a browser extension that works with Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Opera and Edge.

 

In order to use Honey on your computer, you'll need to download the browser extension. Once it's downloaded, you should be able to see it in the top toolbar, and you can use it whenever you go to checkout at an online store. Honey will automatically search codes that are applicable to your purchase.

 

With the Honey app, you can browse through the top coupons to find deals as well as earn Honey rewards on your purchases with certain retailers. When you shop on the website of a retailer through the app, there's a toolbar at the bottom of the app which shows you any available promo codes. Honey will then automatically test and apply those codes at checkout.
