Updated July 2, 2026 · 30 live retailer rates published below.
About Honey
Honey is owned by PayPal and is one of the most widely installed savings browser extensions in the US. Honey's primary value is automatic promo code testing at checkout: the extension cycles through publicly indexed codes and applies the one that produces the largest cart discount. Cashback is delivered as Honey Gold points, which can be redeemed for PayPal cash or gift cards once the 1,000-point minimum threshold is reached.
Payout method
PayPal cash, gift cards (Honey Gold) after the cashback balance clears the $10 minimum threshold. Cashback typically posts as pending within 3-10 business days of a tracked order and clears to payable after the retailer's published return window closes.

How Honey stacks with promo codes
Cashback through Honey is paid on the post-discount, pre-tax subtotal in nearly every case, which means a working DealTrackr promo code reduces the dollar amount of cashback but does not disqualify the order from the cashback program. The correct order of operations is: load the retailer page from a fresh browser tab, copy the promo code from DealTrackr, click the Honey merchant tile to open a tracked session, complete checkout, and confirm both the discount line and the Honey tracking confirmation are visible before submitting payment.
