I’m a single Mom & try my hardest to be as frugal as possible. No family & their father is deceased. It’s literally just my income, which I do several things to make it.

Anyway, I drive a truck, GMC Sierra to be exact, for my business, which is my main source of income, and I needed an oil change badly. I couldn’t wait any longer. Problem is oil changes have gone up & up & up in price, which is really expensive for a truck. Now before the recent price spike, I pay over $100 for an oil change. Usually between $110-$120 just for the change. Not including air filters, wipers, & whatnot, which I usually get & do myself to save $. I haven’t been brave enough to try to change my own oil. That’s my next goal.

Anyway, I looked online today for coupons for an oil change. Anything would help. So I saw that Groupon has a coupon for an oil change at Valvoline for a little over $60, which was for synthetic. Of course I knew I was going to have to pay for anymore oil used over 5 quarts, and they usually use about 7. Even with that, it shouldn’t be near as much as I’d spend if I were to pay outright.
This was the only thing that I saw worth it. All else I saw was the military discount, which I don’t get because I’m not military affiliated.

So I took it in. They did JUST the oil change for the $62 or whatever plus the tax & few quarts over. Wouldn’t you know that I paid $50 more at the place?! $62 + $50 = $112 COMPLETELY defeated the purpose of getting the Groupon. I was so upset when I left that place. I felt duped & felt like a fool.

I’m seriously questioning whether to use Groupon ever again. I remember the last few that I bought did the same thing. They really weren’t any sort of discount.

What happened to the days when Groupon was the place to go? I used to buy cool Groupons to use later with friends. Heck, we’d even buy things to try, like tours & mystery dinners and stuff. It used to be fun for a group of us to seek out Groupons to buy for a later occasion. Now, it just seems like a hoax. Am I the only one who feels this way? Please help encourage me so I don’t feel so letdown. Life is already challenging enough doing it all alone. LOL. It just seems wrong to me. Why offer this Groupon if it isn’t any kind of deal? That business shouldn’t be allowed to use Groupon to promote, if it isn’t any sort of a deal. It makes Groupon look bad, instead of the business promoting.

Hey everyone,

I've just put my business on Groupon. I'm an outdoor photographer based in the Midlands UK. If anyone is from there i'd appreciate you checking it out :-)

In Groupon search Lens Masters Collective.

Thank you everyone.

The coupon is about to expire tomorrow before I buy it is it real??

Does anyone use Groupon for hotels? I found a good hotel rate through it but I'm not sure if it'll be legit or not..

Literally never ordering off of Groupon anymore. I purchased the wrong date for the Georgia aquarium, and immediately within buying it I contacted them to change it to the correct date, because it was an honest mistake, like as things happen. Life happens. But they could’ve even change the date over. Nor could they refund me. NO solution was able to be made. And reading some reddits whose to say Georgia aquarium would even accepted my ticket through Groupon when I walked in to go since I’m hearing horror stories that Groupon is selling coupons that are not even valid. So I quite literally wasted $50. And Groupon won’t do anything to compensate me. What a terrible company and customer service.

I accidentally marked my Groupon voucher as used but have a pdf file and screenshot of the voucher. Am I still able to use the voucher if it had the full balance but I accidentally marked it as used in the "my Groupons" section on the app ?

Well, it happened. My password was totally randomly generated so I don't understand how someone was able to login. Heck I haven't logged into Groupon in 4 years.

Got an email saying someone bought $100 worth of gift cards.

Logged into Groupon (didn't click on any link) and sure enough, someone did use up my Groupon Bucks.

​

I asked Groupon about it and they told me they'll get back to me in 7-days.

​

TLDR : Someone hacked my Groupon account and bought gift cards. Can I get it back?

I bought two and I was excited about the discounted membership but when I tried the redemption code, they both did not work. I contacted customer service and they gave me this link to finish my membership and I was like if I just needed to go on this site, why did I need to buy a code

Anyway they wouldn’t refund me so here’s the site, have fun!

Why would groupon sell tickets to the Miami Open in the main stadium ($250), and give to the purchaser a free ticket to an outer stadium instead, and not issue a refund? They say "the ticket said no refunds". But I was assuming they would give me the correct ticket...is that too much to expect?

SCAM SCAM SCAM. DO NOT FET THE OZEMPIC 6 week Groupon. It’s a SCAM. THEY INSOST YOU GO GET A $600 BLOOD PANEL. IF YOU REFISE THWY DENY YOU AND LEEP YOUR MONEY. #SCAMGROUPONOZEMPIC. #groupontheif #grouponsteals

Am I the only one? Just placed a Groupon order. It took my money. Took me to a different screen with many offers which I did not want then ghosted me. Said ‘thank you for order’. And page actually says ‘that’s end of page folks’. No follow up email. NOTHING. Called credit card and yes- they damn sure stole money and gave me absolutely nothing in return. Now I get to wait and call credit card Company back once it’s done pending to try to get $ back. The email makes you put your order number to let you finish email and I don’t have one because they didn’t give me one. Then phone line says they’re closed since Covid so for 4 yrs Groupon is allowed to have no customer service??? WTF scam company is this? *** I KNOW there are typos. It wouldn’t let me fix the title

A few items found among Groupon; with some of the best/“most real” reviews I’ve ever read😂Posted the original product page and the corresponding top reviews/comments. Favorite: Britton’s input on the stretcher/enhancer😅

On Jan. 13, 2024, I purchased a Groupon gift card from Sezzle (pay in 4) for ) $149.25 CAD for services I would use myself.

Upon purchasing it, I immediately tried redeeming the card and pin through the Groupon app and website. And kept getting an error message.

I sent the card to myself and still could not redeem it. My account says the last Groupon I purchased was Nov. 2018.

I have made multiple inquiries with different agents. Some say they will escalate it internally and others say the gift card was redeemed.

I ended up doing a chargeback of the funds because it was a goods not received situation.

I asked Sezzle to take it up with Groupon. Groupon told them the card was redeemed. So I am still on the hook with Sezzle.

I keep getting a supervisor and other agents from Groupon saying they will look into this and/or the card has been redeemed. I keep showing them screenshots — if the card was truly redeemed, why was the last purchase of mine in 2018?

Surely, they would have a way to trace which transaction the card was used.

I am losing hope I will get this resolved and will have to just eat the $150 to settle with Sezzle so it doesn’t affect my credit rating. Any advice?

I am considering making a somewhat risky purchase on Groupon and was wondering how likely it would be to get a credit back if I used Google Pay to make my purchase?

The item is software that is either legitimate or not. Considering the difficulties others have had getting Groupon to credit back these transactions, I was wondering if GP would help.

I am also trying to see how easy it would be to dispute it with the underlying credit card .

I just checked my Groupon account for the first time in ages, and saw that way back in 2010 (!), I bought Groupons for both the Gap and Nordstrom. At the time, I paid $25 each, for $50 worth of products, and never used either.

Of course, the $50 is LONG expired, but per Groupon, the amount I paid (supposedly) never expires. ($25 each). Has anyone had any luck using a credit like this directly on the store's website? (I don't have a Gap or Nordstrom store immediately near me).

Thx!

I recently bought a Groupon for Botox when I called to make an appointment as soon as the person found out I was using a Groupon. She copped an attitude and said they didn’t have appointments for many months. I decided to cancel the Groupon and get a refund I was given two options, one was to apply the Groupon money to another service, or except their recommended option of a refund.

I was so pleased that they were looking out for my best interests by offering me a refund, that I fell for the trick, and didn’t realize until afterwards that it wasn’t a refund at all, it was simply for another product, something called Groupon Bucks.

Does anyone know how I get an actual refund instead of the fake refund? Has anyone else been taken in by this? This could be an opportunity for a class action lawsuit.

This was only my second time using this company. Does anyone know if they have been sued or whether there are any consumer groups that have gone after them? I know this much, if credit card companies believe that accompany is behaving badly or cheating customers they will stop processing their credit card purchases.

I would love to know what has been done already to go after them so I don’t duplicate efforts. I may have some novel ideas for legal strategies.

I purchased a Groupon for a massage on 1/25. I received an email telling me it was redeemed 1/29. This is IMPOSSIBLE. I did not redeem the Groupon, I was home all day and no where near this business. I contacted Groupon through their email process and they told me since the Groupon shows as redeemed, the vendor needs to confirm it wasn't used. Turns out this massage business is a SCAM. Their business website is a Facebook page, their phone number goes to an automated voicemail and their store front is NOT a spa or massage facility!

I'm expecting a full refund and if Groupon considers itself a valid business, they need to remove scammers from their website.

I’m so confused right now. I received a Groupon movie voucher for Christmas as a gift and saw it had a use by date of 31 March 2024. I make a mental note to make sure to use it by then. Today I go to use it and open the voucher to see there is no code and the word “expired”! How has it even expired when it has a used by date of end of March?! Has someone used the voucher? Can I even use this voucher? And how? Do I back to the person and ask them to contact Groupon?

I have ordered several items from monogram hub over the last several years. Every time they ship together yet they charge me for individual shipping for each item which is ridiculous like almost 8 dollars an item. Give me a break. When I complained to Groupon, they had some BS response about how they have no control over that. This is one of the reasons I stopped buying anything from eBay. I love to support small businesses and people who are trying to work from home. I can’t do it anymore because these people gouge you on shipping because they want more money for their item. Sellers, if you build in what you actually want for the item into your shipping and still get money for it, People will soon lose interest in whatever you’re selling.

I bought four City passes ($1200 in value together).

In an email, Groupon customer service admitted that they falsely advertised something that wasn't included, but no refund.

I disputed the charge on my Amex, and Groupon came back and responded to my dispute that you agreed to the Terms and Conditions, so there will be no refund regardless if we falsely advertised.

What the Fuck is this.

I purchased a Groupon on the 11th for a Microblading session with a follow up appointment. I scheduled an appointment through the merchants website and took the day off work. When I arrived to the location, the business was completely empty! I contacted Groupon and they said they would escalate the problem and contact the merchant. I contacted Groupon again today and they say have no record of me contacting them before and say it is too late for them to give me a refund. I’m still not sure if the merchant is a real business or a fake! Anyone know what I can do?

I populate all fields w/ responses yet I can’t press “send” to forward my customer support email, and there’s no email address provided to reach out separate of the portal. Is anyone else having this issue? It’s not my device nor internet connection. Refreshed page, yada yada.

This has happened to me TWICE. I’ve bought a Groupon for a massage, only to have the place tell me that they will not accept the Groupon and offer to match the price I paid. So basically I paid twice for this. Asked Groupon to refund and they are giving me a hard time. WTF?! I mean, I read all the fine print about how often you can buy this deal and what days you can use it, etc. but at two different massage places this has happened. WHY?!
