Set it and forget it extensions are extremely useful, and Honey is exactly that. <\/span><\/p>\n

Time to break down if this platform is worth the hype and how to actually save money in our Honey extension review!<\/p>\n

What is Honey?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"Honey-extension-review\"<\/p>\n

Honey is a free browser extension that saves you money while shopping for things online. Formally known as Honey Science Corporation, the company was founded in October 2012 in Los Angeles, California.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to Honey's website, the platform is used by 17+ million users worldwide. Honey has also found more than $1 billion in savings, and paid out $8 million to Honey members. The company was even acquired by PayPal for $4 billion<\/a>, so there's certainly an impressive backing for the Ecommerce company.<\/p>\n

The question is, how does Honey work?<\/p>\n

How to Use The Honey browser Extension<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Honey automatically searches the web when you shop online to look for coupons and the best price. In other words, Honey does all of the heavy lifting for you. Instead of having to search for the best price on your own, Honey helps save money automatically.<\/span><\/p>\n

Honey also has a pretty awesome cash back component known as Honey Gold, providing even more ways to save (more on this later).<\/p>\n

Plus, Honey is free, and figuring out how to use Honey just takes a few steps:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Create a free account on Honey with your email address or Facebook account.<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Download the Honey browser extension (for free).<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Shop as you normally would and automatically find savings when eligible.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    That\u2019s it! Once you\u2019ve finished downloading the extension, you are ready to start saving.<\/span><\/p>\n

    How Honey Woks – Shopping Online<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    When you shop at your favorite stores online, the Honey browser extension will turn bright orange. This indicates that Honey has found coupons for you to apply when you checkout. <\/span>When you actually go to checkout and complete your purchase, Honey will give you a little pop-up on the side of your browser, giving you the option to click \u201cApply Coupons\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n

    It will then scan the coupon codes on the website to see if any of them are valid for the items in your cart.<\/span><\/p>\n

    If there\u2019s a coupon code that works, the best discount available will be automatically applied to your order. <\/span>If there isn\u2019t, Honey will let you know that you already have the best deal possible and you can continue through the checkout process.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Honey Gold –\u00a0 Earn Free Cash Back<\/strong><\/h2>\n

    Honey has other ways of getting money back into your pocket aside from just applying coupons. It also offers a cash back rewards program called Honey Gold.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Honey Gold doesn\u2019t require anything extra on your end, but you can still earn up to 20% cash back<\/strong> at participating merchants. Currently, over 4,500 merchants<\/strong> offer Honey Gold, so your chances of earning cash back are pretty decent.<\/span><\/p>\n

    How to Earn Gold<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    When you shop at a qualifying online store, Honey will reward you with a percentage of cashback in the form of Gold. No, it\u2019s not real gold (I wish). It\u2019s what Honey uses as the name for their point system, similar to credit card points.<\/span><\/p>\n

    \"How-to-use-Honey\"<\/p>\n

    When you\u2019re eligible for Honey Gold on a site you are shopping at, Honey will show you a percentage amount in a pop-up with the option to activate the rewards. You can also use the Honey Explore page<\/a> to find current deals and cash back opportunities.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Once you make a purchase, you will see a pending Honey Gold balance in your account. If the purchase is verified and qualifies for gold, your account is credited.<\/p>\n
