PayPal Honey takes the top spot for finding promo codes because it covers far more stores than any rival here. Its help center says it tests coupon codes at checkout on 30,000+ popular sites, compared with 3,500+ stores at Rakuten and 7,000+ at TopCashback. When a code works, Honey applies it to your cart, and on Amazon it also looks for a better price. On top of codes, Honey offers PayPal Rewards points at participating stores; US users can turn them into credit at PayPal checkout or gift cards. The extension runs on Chrome, Safari, Opera and Edge, and the homepage reports 17 million members. The limits are about rewards rather than codes. Points are not offered at every supported store, the rewards are not paid as cash, and Honey warns that running another rewards extension alongside it will likely interfere. Shoppers who mainly want cash back should look at Rakuten.
