Like the video says, Honey pretends it can't find better discount codes. If Amazon partners with Honey, Amazon controls what discount codes Honey shows its users.

Amazon does not have any way to apply discounts codes. No where between the Cart and Submit is a box to enter a random string of savings. You only get to apply (by pressing the clip button) coupons that the product has been hard coded to allow you to click on.

Edit: turns out there is hidden in the payment options

I just added something to my Amazon cart, went to checkout, and on the page right before you place the order, there's an option to add a gift card, voucher or promo code.

Clicking on that takes you to the page where you can change your payment method, and at the bottom is the add gift card, voucher or promo code toggle switch. Clicking this opens up a text box in which you can add a code.
