They bombard you with unsolicited emails even after you unsubscribe from them. They do not care. Reported them to the FTC for violations.

I requested consideration to refund my Groupon tickets to a theme park. The person on the chat line refused to allow me to escalate the request as I wanted to discuss it with someone who has higher authority. Shortly after I was told to private message Groupon about my situation. I did and shortly after that I was told the fine print says no refunds. NO KIDDING - thats why I wanted to escalate to someone that has higher authority and consider some extenuating circumstances. Also. since yesterday, I have received two emails from the chat line representative promoting Groupon and how good it is - really! This is "Rubbing salt in the wound". The final blow is I was looking to give the tickets to someone but the fine print says its not transferrable. It amazes me they will not consider anything to soften the blow, especially considering they have not have to spend any money to facilitate my tickets. If not a refund, a credit, dates extension, etc... would show consideration and commitment to their customers. TREAD SOFTLY WITH GROUPON, NOT VERY FLEXIBLE WITH CUSTOMERS!

Im permanently disabled on a fix income and I use Groupon for their Discounts. Recently, Groupon is refusing to refund purchases made that I am entitled to. I have requested multiple times by email the need to resolve this matter and I’m constantly dismissed! I’m just trying to get what’s rightfully mine. I’ve sent them Proof of pictures of the original purchases with pricing, pictures from my bank account showing refunded amounts, Groupon account showing pre-existing transactions for account credits and they keep saying Everything has been refunded. If I had existing Groupon credits on my account and Made purchases using those credits but later canceled those transactions,I should not only be refunded with my purchase money but also the pre existing credits. Groupon not only didn’t refund my purchase money they wouldn’t give me back my pre-existing credits. In addition to not allowing me to speak to management to get this mater resolved. Till this day no one has called me back. This is very unprofessional to say the least. This has been very troubling and I can’t believe a company like this would be so dishonest. On 2/11/22 I purchased 7 Groupons in which I canceled ALL TRANSACTIONS CONDUCTED. In addition to those transactions I had two pre-existing credits already applied to my Groupon account which were available for immediate use. I have uploaded all documents in question. 1.) One stating the original purchases of 174.75 and 120.91 withdrawn from my bank. 2.) Two Trade-in credits of the pre-existing credits.109.86 before membership discount. 3.) The 7 items purchased on 2/11/22 with their purchase numbers attached. 4.)Pictures of Five transactions that were refunded. 5.) Current Groupon Credits on system. Lower then owed. I made 7 purchases and only 5 refunded. I should have credits should have 9 TRANSACTIONS TOTAL REFUNDED!

Shocking company, complaints process an absolute joke, I have 10 emails saying the same thing despite then saying they would rectify the problem. Items still not showing as delivered so can't return them yet they keep telling me its passed the 14 day return period. How they know that I have no idea. They steal peoples hard earned money and don't care that the items are not as described. Avoid at all costs

This company is a scam This company is a scam. They don't allow to leave a review. No refund, constant requests for personal information. Tracking information. They keep millions of customers money to raise interest to earn and no refund. Groupon appoints 3rd party refund company to avoid the scam blame. Should be Groupon sue and to be removed from online market.

Groupon is a joke. Worst customer service ever. I have had a case open since 2020. If you shop with them it will be at your own risk. If you selling a product you are solely responsible for fixing any issues that may arise!! How you gone say we still working on it. Like for real it's 2022. You've been warned. They lost a valuable customer in me. Oh well

This is the most crooked company I’ve ever had the displeasure of dealing with. They refuse to refund my money even though they were refunded by the tour operator. All they want to do is steal your money and write endless emails until you get tired. Not worth the trouble. Do anything to avoid

Groupon is not worth the effort. In your attempt to save a buck, you sacrifice good costumer service and flexibility. Don't fall for it, it's not worth the couple extra dollars. Most recently I purchased a hotel stay, but had to change all my plans due to Covid. I wanted to change my dates for when I was actually there (novel idea, right?!), the hotel was totally cool with it, but Groupon wouldn't budge. Wouldn't change the reservation, wouldn't refund my money. Heck, the airline and car rental combined were more accommodating combined than Groupon. Very disappointed.

Bad response from customers service and can't find anyone to sour out your returns. The quality of the things you get, are not the quality what you get delivered!!!!! All gone wrong!!!! Lost so much money!!

They scam companies that sell services like mine and they only pay you if the ticket is not redeemed, so most of the sales they pocket. I would recommend not sell anything with them

SCAM SCAM SCAM Don't Fall for it!!! I got the the groupon egifter addidas gift card for every $35, gives you $15 bonus card. I received my gift cards and receipt and went to use it and the bonus card said not active, after contacting egifter customer service they said bonus card got expired. There is no expiration date on the receipt or the bonus gift card, I read every tiny prints, but they clearly hide that info. This was my Christmas gift and I was embarrassed by the fact that the person was not able to use his gift card, will not fall for it.

I purchased a voucher for a hotel suit and put the date I wanted after confirming I noticed the date was changed and the date on the voucher was the same date I booked instead of the following day that I requested. I am not able to speak to anyone on the phone but spoke to someone by chat live who says they are unable to help me. When I called the hotel they informed me that this happens a lot with Groupon and that this issue can be fixed by Groupon . I believe this is a scam so they could retrieve some of the money they have lost during covid.

I made reservations on the 17th. Check in was on the 18th at 2. I arrived-at 315p with my 8 year old daughter just to be told no vacancies after paying $53 for an Uber.

Parag Bhargava I ordered tickets for the ideal home show at 7.39pm on Saturday 27th November for Sunday 28th November. I must have by mistake selected 27th and tickets came through and then expired. The show was over at 6pm. When I contacted support, I was told quite clearly, no refund for live events. Even though the event was over that day, Parveen J, who I was chatting too was adamant there was nothing that could be done because of their no refund policy. It doesn't take an idiot to realise a mistake seems to have happened and she even said you may have done it by accident, but they would rather keep my money than issue new tickets or a voucher. Really disappointed with your service Groupon.

I cannot say enough good things about this company! Due to medical issues during the last year our flowerbeds were a disaster. At our age 74 and 76 the cleanup looked overwhelming! We found Blackwells on Groupon and hired them. Mr Jones was fast, friendly, fair and professional ☆☆☆☆☆ We're having them back to do more🙂

At times Groupn can be good. At other times a complete rip off. Today they have tickets for Beautiful - The Carole King Musical Tuesday, January 18, 2022 · 7:30pm · Van Wezel Performing Arts Hall, Sarasota FL. They specify ROw 28 & the price is $170 PER ticket. I'm even going to include the link as proof. https://www.groupon.com/tpis/deals/c4b459f6-9a4d-44f7-948c-d11a5bcf4e12/booking?option_id=c06762b0-a38e-4e0c-a443-3d2db77f3ca0 Going to the Van Wysel website itself. For the same date/same time performance- Row 28 tickets are $67! per ticket. SAME ROW $Groupon $170.. from the venue $67. https://mpv.tickets.com/?agency=VANV_SNG_MPV&orgid=42849&eventid=3224&_ga=2.14257588.2045131561.1636335776-669289889.1635719042#/event/E3224/seatmap/?seatmapId=1001&selectBuyers=false&minPrice=67&maxPrice=127&quantity=2&sort=price_desc&ada=false&seatSelection=true&onlyCoupon=true&onlyVoucher=false That is a REDICULOUS RIP OFF!!

Groupon will not honor refunds for cancellations even when you are clearly within the cancellation period. Horrible experience dealing with customer service, the worst I have ever experienced. Groupon is a rip off, do business with them knowing you are taking a big risk. I highly recommend that you do business with another company, any company but Groupon.

Groupon processed my order twice and refused to look into it stating that the terms and conditions states no cancellations. Would definatley not trust this website.
