    isn’t this influencer back office bullshit and not my problem ?

      The coupons honey applies may not always be the best deal around. Honey works with online shops to only serve you the coupons that specific online shop wants you to see, causing you to be ripped off on occasion.

      Simply put, there might be a 20% off coupon that can be applied to your cart, but because Honey is getting paid by the online shop, they are only going to show you at best the 5% off coupon. This makes Honey redundant, because neither Honey nor the online shop tell you when they are working together, which is why you can never trust honey to actually give you the best deal.

      it is your problem because they’re stealing your money too.

      famous person code gives you 30% off a product. honey tells you it’s 10% and keeps your 20% for its pockets.

      at least that’s how I understood it.

        Yep and a great question that allows more people to learn. Please stop downvoting real questions

          People are downvoting the tone, not the question. Calling it bullshit when it is seriously stealing money from other human beings and calling it “not my problem” under the assumption that it doesn’t matter if it affects others, displays absolute lack of empathy. Devaluing the question and making it a bad faith comment.
