    Slightly scummy on the first front, but then again, if I knew the better codes, I’d just use them rather than use a browser extension.

    On the second front, that’s more the fault of companies not validating exclusive codes.

      Sure but when you advertise we well find you the best price available and you don’t cause the company paid you to give this lower coupon it is fraud.

        He mentions in the video that they stopped advertising that when the BBB brought it up with them.

        I think for this story, the timeline is paramount. What Honey used to be compared to what it became are worlds apart. Claims they made when they were just a coupon aggregator should be considered in a different light than claims once they started partnering with vendors
