Honey Extension for automatic coupon search and entry

[Smith92x]

Hi guys, first real post so please be easy on me. Another thread here in the MSRP forum reminded me of a nice extension I ran across a few years ago. It's for Chrome and Firefox and I figured others might get some use out of it. I'm not totally sure what all it can do, but what I use it for is the automatic coupon entry when in the checkout page of several retailers. There's a little button that pops up and when you hit it it'll automatically enter coupons into the coupon box and tell you the one that gives you the most savings.

Here's a nice write-up that does a much better job of explaining it:

Links to get Honey:

Chrome -

Firefox -

Hope this helps!

The problem with this (and most other coupon sites) is the hijacking of cashback.

Q: Does this interfere with other cash back sites?
A: Because of how cash back programs work you are only allowed to use one at a time. We have a HoneyGold cash back program of our own rolling out that you can learn more about here: https://www.joinhoney.com/faq/honeygold
If you claim a HoneyGold offer it will take the place of any other cash back program you may be trying to use. Contact our customer service team through our website with more questions (and a faster response)!

Thanks for the info...I wasn't aware of this.
