Built-in shopping extension sends bad message
markshelton After your post and after reading the Privacy disclaimer (looked good, but I'd still like to see a statement along the lines of "MS will not resell your data, and will only share aggregate data with vendors" or so) I actually did give it a whirl when buying a guitar at Guitar Center. Edge told me that there was a coupon, but applying it Guitar Center told me that it was expired.
Due to the roundabout way that I did this (checked for a coupon using Edge in an incognito window after remembering and enabling the functionality, applied the coupon to the original cart) Edge probably didn't notice the coupon fail, so I didn't get to see how that part of the UX works (if any).
- marksheltonJan 07, 2021MicrosoftThanks for trying it out ChromeRefugee & Deleted. Sorry that you found expired coupons. We can't always tell whether a coupon is expired -- it may just not eligible for whatever product you're trying to purchase through the retailer. However, we are looking at the success rate of our coupons over time and removing or de-prioritizing those that have a lower chance of success.
- DeletedJan 07, 2021Yeah, please do make it more like honey and more accurately and suppor tmore sites please. Thank you and add to Canada.
- DeletedJan 07, 2021What do you mean it can't tell if it is expired? Since I thought Edge shows this poup that shows it is checking the coupons that means it is checking if it works or not.

Same for me, ChromeRefugee. I tested this new feature on almost all the popular stores and tested Amazon a lot on different products. I also tested on Kohl's, Walmart, and Target. None of the coupons worked. The websites said something like, "This coupon is not valid."
- DeletedJan 08, 2021yup, same for me.
