This is fantastic. Forgive my ignorance, but how are you guys able to get access to users' rewards card accounts and add these coupons? I wasn't aware rewards card providers allowed 3rd parties to do that.
@gemusan If you're ever in NY I'd be glad to! I assumed there was some sort of public API I wasn't aware of, but there's clearly more going on than that :)
Cofounder of Honey here. Thanks for hunting it @jtriest.
We built Milk because we spend a lot of money on groceries and it sucks to know that we're leaving money on the table by not using coupons. Happy to answer any questions.

This is awesome (if it works as advertised). I've been a long-time user of Honey's Chrome extension, which automatically searches for and applies coupons to various only merchants like GoDaddy, Newegg, etc.
What do retailers think of this, @gemusan / @ketau?
@rrhoover@ketau Thx. We're going to make sure it works as advertised!
Milk makes grocery coupons so easy that we're introducing this consumer behavior to a whole new (much bigger) demographic. More people using coupons = more revenue and loyalty for grocery stores = more opportunity for CPGs to shape consumer behavior.
@chrismessina We're much too lazy to scan receipts so we made sure the savings process is drop dead simple. The grocery coupons are "clipped" to your store rewards card and the savings are automatically applied at the register during checkout.
The website description is very clear about what the features of the app are (more than I can say about some other apps posted on PH...) and the value proposition seems very clear. I've downloaded and look forward to trying it out.
