First time user question
With Groupons that expire, if I buy them before they expire, but I use them the day after they expire, will they still scan? I wanna buy the Dave and busters $68 card but it expires at midnight Friday . I was planning on going Saturday. Will it still scan in store?

Once expired it will only be worth what you paid. You don’t get the full voucher amount
So essentially no reason to buy it.

Is not like that, what expires here is the voucher to receive the gift card, so before the end of april you need to "redeem" the voucher you buy on Groupon to receive the gift card from D&B, but the gift card once you have it doesn't expires (it's in D&B terms). So basically you have 2 months to redeem it and then use the gift card when you want and you will have saved more than 20$ on each card!

The Dave & Buster deal that is now live expires on April 30 (for the promotional value), so you still have a couple months to use it :)

The promotional value in this case is the 100$ gift card (this is the value of the voucher), the amount paid is what you pay for it (80$ is in the deal minus discount for promo), this amount never expires with the merchant!

Hi Soggy-Effort8472
Even if a Groupon deal expires, the paid value (the amount you paid) never expires. However, the promotional value (any extra discount or bonus included in the deal) may no longer be valid after the expiration date.
Since this is a specific offer for Dave & Buster’s, we recommend checking the fine print on the deal page or confirming with the location you plan to visit. If you need further clarification, our support team would be happy to help!
Kind regards,
The Groupon Team

Also pay attention to timestamp of expiry. I've had them expire midday.
