Honeyfund Reviews 64

For us it made perfect sense as a registry, since we are settled and need very little in terms of household items! thought the whole process was very smooth and we were able to register for a fun trip to London and enjoy a number of experiences - our guests liked that they could share in our honeymoon!

DO NOT USE. you can’t redeem your money out unless it’s through gift cards. There is a frustratingly annoying cap on Venmo - $1500 at a time every 3-4 days and $10k total. So you basically get a bunch of dumb gift cards like wayfair you need to transfer to and they all have caps. Huge scam. I hate it.

So far so good with the Honeyfund app and website! I love the ease of use and ability for my family to help out on honeymoon expenses, even being out of town!

Honeyfund is amazing! We loved being able to create a beautiful page for honeymoon contributions where guests can choose to pay for different activities. Love that guests can add messages to their gifts. At first, I couldn't figure out how to transfer the money to Venmo. The staff were so helpful and quick to respond to help me out!

Everything went smoothly until after the wedding, we requested our funds be deposited to PayPal before the wedding and it was, to my new wife's PayPal account. After the wedding we had some residual funds available, we requested the funds but didn't receive them initially, they stated PayPal was having an issue. PayPal did a trace and they have not attempted to deposit the funds into that account. After threats and several emails, we were made aware that the funds were deposited into my PayPal account, which hadn't been used since 2017, even though we requested it be deposited into hers. I'm not sure why. We did receive our money, albeit more than 10 days later.

I couldn't give better words about honeyfund.com. the people here are dedicated to helping others make their experience one in a lifetime. Absolutely love them!

Honeyfund has helped my fiance and I spread the word of our honeymoon plans . It allowed us to choose a theme that was very close to our wedding dream and the layout of our website was easily accessible and our family members loved the website 💕 definitely the best website ever

I ended up having to spend hours on the phone to avoid our gifted money to not be treated like business income. After that I got a late gift and was never able to cash it out. Their support staff was not equipped to troubleshoot these issues. Would recommend avoiding this platform if possible.

Nice and easy to use, makes it easy to create a place for family and friends to go to if they wish to send you a gift. Rather than just gifting money, knowing what that money was spent on is a great idea.
Customer service (shoutout to Sonja) has also been great, replied very promptly and helped me with my request straight away.

We used Honeyfund as the registry for our wedding. It was really great for us. All we wanted was cash to pay for our trip--no gift cards needed. I transferred funds to my Venmo in phases--I think it's a $2,000 limit per transaction. From Venmo I moved the funds to my bank account. We did not have any problems with this and I didn't get any complaints from friends about using this site.
My only complaint is that the login for the website is glitchy, usually requiring a few attempts to get into it.

The customer care / service team is unmatched! They have been so attentive and helpful and kind throughout the set up period of my account. I’m so happy I went with HoneyFund instead of a traditional registry.

I had a great experience with Honeyfund! Got my money fast every time from Venmo and customer service was fast. I would recommend.

If you want to use the app to create a website it won’t really look like the example. I had a difficult time trying to navigate the website. I only needed it for our elopement in case family wanted to gift funds.

They don’t tell you but there is a fee to transfer to your account. If you want to send it through PayPal or Venmo the amount has to be at least $100. BTW they will freeze your Honeyfund account until you verify it’s you trying to transfer funds to the gift card.

They don’t really tell you the hassles on website reviews. BUT other websites are more challenging than Honeyfund. Not the best website but better than others

We were worried when we tried to redeem our gifts because the site said “error” and we couldn’t redeem our gifts on the Target account to Venmo. And when we called, we couldn’t find anyone to help us. Luckily I reached out to them on Instagram (and by email) and they responded right the next day!
They immediately moved our funds from Target to the Honeyfund wallet and the error message was gone. I was able to redeem the gifts into my Venmo account pretty quickly (the money was available after a couple of days!). Then with no issue, I was able to transfer the rest of our funds into Venmo again (you have to wait after the first Venmo transaction is completed).
I only gave them 4 stars because of the error message and because the giftcard options they have are a bit limited. But the customer service was great and we got our money quickly so pretty happy with them!

They are so quick to draw you in and say you get 100 percent of what your attendees gift you for your wedding. It’s all annoying trickery. They bloat what people give by asking for donations. They make it impossible to find the button to opt out of a donation. When you’re ready to redeem your gift, unless you want $4,000 of a chilis gift card, it takes over a month to get your money via PayPal or Venmo. None of that is clear up front. DO NOT USE. Would not recommend.

Wish I could rate lower than 1 star. Honeyfund tried to steal $2000 out of our gifts and would not respond to our requests for several weeks. They finally claimed it was an “error” but it took about 7 weeks to get them to respond to our ~50 emails (they don’t provide a phone number for support). By the time they finally responded, flights had almost doubled in price and we had to change our destination. Honeyfund is a scam, I would never recommend this awful “service” to anybody.

I have been trying to setup a fund with Honeyfund and it's not straightforward.
Eeeeemmm, therefore do not want my guests to be confused too.

My daughter and her partner set up a fund collection with Honeyfund. Do not bother, it is completely unusable and they are not responsive or helpful when a problem is encountered. Also payments made via PayPal incur a charge, so your guests will pay more than they want to contribute…..only took a year and a half for their response 😂👏👏

We registered. Luckliy not published. Just one gift paid by one of family members.money deducted from account he said. Its about 48 hours the gift not shown. Not any support from customer service. While we needed calm and relax afew days before wedding , stress came to us not being victim of scam. Still waiting for reply , will update here.

Site doesn't work. Guests tried to donate using credit cards and every single card type was declined. Reached out to support multiple times and was told it wasn't their problem, it was PayPals problem (PayPal was working just fine). This site is hard to use, the main purpose (receiving gifts) doesn't work, and support won't help. Recommend paying for something better instead of going through the hassle of trying to use HoneyFund
