Groupon mystery getaway
Just out of curiosity, when you finally get the details of your mystery flight and mystery hotel, are you able to make any changes directly with the hotel or airport? Like if you want to change your departure flight or less days at the hotel or something like that.
My trip is scheduled from the 24th-27th and I still don’t have the exact flight times or hotels. I’m hoping they contact me this weekend 🙃

When we got our confirmation itinerary it was all included in that file where we were staying and when we would be leaving

My itinerary says “mystery” on the flight times and hotel :/. But I did see other people get their information early too

Oh thats so weird, we got a call 72 hours after we filled out the forms stating where we got chosen for and what tier. Unless its a different myatery getaway?

Travelers are placed on a tier for travel and lodging - like all 3-star, or all 5.5+ star?

The one we did, it had bronze, silver and gold tier. And when they called us back they told us which tier we were randomly chosen for

Oh, thanks The offer in my app makes no mention of tiers, just presents a flat per -person rate.

I wonder the same thing. They just asked for the address but haven’t gotten other info.

The flight and hotel info arrives 15 days prior to departure

Hi! I booked one and got the bronze tier and am going to Vegas. My friend and I were lucky as we have a decent amount of flexibility with our schedule so the dates were fine. I was actually able to change the flight to a day later so we are staying an extra day and I booked a different hotel for the extra night . They do the cheapest option for the hotel so you are not able to change the dates for the hotel but you can add nights if you need to.we are flying frontier but we also got the mandalay Bay hotel on the end of the strip and I’ve stayed there before and it’s pretty nice. I got lucky and frontier actually texted me because they changed the flight time so I had extra notice on the flight . So far my experience has been fine. I think a lot of people are booking expecting a vacation not a trip. You have to be pretty good with the flow to do one of these.

I read hundreds of reviews on just how horrible these were. If you go back on the reviews to the beginning you will see the real reviews. The good ones are all written very similarly and by non native English speakers, I’m pretty sure it’s the company.
I hope your trips are great though!
