Show HN: I Made an Extension That Makes You Money

Hey HN.

I built Mint Cashback, a browser extension that gives you cashback without needing an account.

Most competitors are bloated and require signups, I built my own cashback API aggregator and tracking system to split commissions 50/50 with users.

Would appreciate any feedback.

I'll admit I didn't dig super far on your site. What about the fact that I'm pretty sure Mint is already a trademark for some budgeting software and more importantly what guarantees do users have that you're not the next Honey transparency wise?

Ty for digging in.

The biggest thing we don't do is coupons, at all.

This means we only show up when there's real value for the customer (cashback is actually available). While Honey would pop up even when you'd click checkout with PayPal, grabbing the last click commission & making money even if they provided you with no value.

Hi, I'm Alex.

I realized I didn't like any existing cashback platforms,

So I built an alternative.
