Part of their service is to allow sellers to suppress higher discount codes from appearing in the honey service. That just flat-out contradicts what they tell consumers to convince them to download the extension.

I was expecting Honey to offer the smaller discount codes to the consumer, then apply the higher (hidden) discount count code to the seller and pocket the difference.

In some ways, it almost seems like what they are doing is worse than that—just playing both sides for their own gain.

I’m interested in what comes in part 2.
