“Bought a sams club membership through Groupon that comes with a $10 gift card. It took six weeks to get the voucher and i never got the gift card, paid with PayPal credit thats the worst thing you can do. Groupon is nothing but a big scam.”

“My daughter and son-in-law had purchased a Groupon for my husband and myself, as a gift last Christmas, 2016. It was for a dolphin sightseeing tour in St. Augustine, FL, and expired 12/31/17. I was going to book a tour after returning from a cruise on 12/4/17. But when I pulled up the Groupon, it was saying it was Redeemed on 12/1/17 at 6 something PM. Well, at that day and time, we were out to sea on the cruise. I had never marked it Redeemed. Multiple emails back and forth to Groupon, even mentioning that my daughter had purchased it, and no resolution was made. They continued to say that I had "Redeemed" the Groupon, which I never did! With only a few days remaining on this Groupon, they told me that my daughter needed to email them, since she was the one who purchased it. She did, and still nothing! Two days before expiration, I received an email, addressed to my daughter, who has her own email, with which she emailed them from. They cancelled that Groupon and said that they are refunding her in Groupon Bucks, but not the total price that she had paid. I had to forward the email to her, since they never contacted her. I'm so angry with them and will never buy another Groupon again!!!! Their customer service STINKS!!!”

“The Groupon coupon I paid for was not honored. Groupon explained I would receive credit for amount paid (which I was), plus the amount for the difference due to the embarrassment it put me in when it came time to pay vendor. I was to receive entire amount of coupon. I should have known better! I was taken. I cannot trust Groupon or their representatives.”

“Countless emails back and forth to get a return label for an item that was supposed to be delivered within 2 days it got here after 7 days and the wrong color. They are keep forwarding me to 3rd party!!! They have the same items on amazon and no headaches. I am done with Groupon.”

“Due to the fact that I recently relocated and was unable to use a Groupon, I asked for a refund. I was informed that I would not get one and that I could just give my groupon to someone else. Instead of just giving me Groupon Bucks, which I would most definitely use and than some, they have decided that losing a customer is more important to them. I will buy products and activities via Travelzoo now!”

“As I went to leave the Park 'N Fly using my groupon I was informed that it was already used...in the prior month! Not possible. I have tried for 3 days to contact groupon and all attempts have failed. No phone number. No operator available to chat with. No active "send" button on the groupon site to email my complaint. I'm very disappointed. Very poor customer support services.”

“Two ceramic items were shipped in an oversized box with nothing but 2 loose, thin sheets of bubble wrap. The box has NOTHING on it indicating that there were fragile items inside. The package delivered with both items broken and shattered. There is no customer service. Takes 2-3 weeks to get a refund AFTER they receive the returned items, IF you can even get ahold of them.”

“Customer service sucks: Group discontinued phone and chat interfaces and email responsiveness is less than zero. Very frustrating.”

“Will never use Groupon again! when I order one item which I did receive however, a week later send a email saying I purchase a random item I knew nothing about. 1st time they removed it, They told me it was because I had save My account visa number on my account page. Then the 2nd time I purchase voucher, I made sure to click do not save My account number. I Logged out and back in to app to make sure card number wasn't on my account page, how about a week later same issue they claim I order a service I did not, when I look at my account, my visa number is on my Groupon app account page again, I'm positive it was not there when l order this 2nd voucher. They refused to refund my money, I feel like some fraud is going on. I had to dispute it with my bank to have it removed. No more Groupon for me I've removed the app.”

“I purchased a groupon for a hotel and they booked it with both my credit cards that they had on file. You can not call Groupon. They do not have a phone number that works and I tried the chat service and they told me I would have to talk to Groupon Getaways and I spent over an hour waiting for them to come on. I had emailed them multiple times with no reply. Having to dispute my credit card charge. I will never use groupon again. I have unsubscribed to the emails and took the app off my phone. HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE”

“Everything! My experience was a total disaster. They did not clarify some of the important notices in their add. When we contacted them to resolve this matter they lied to us twice, and the third time they were not in any position to help apparently. WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE EVER”

“Bought a ASUS 15.6" 2-in-1 Laptop - Intel i5 2.2GHz 6GB 1TB Win 10 through GROUPON and it was a mess. Computer was advertised as NEW and free RETURNS 30 DAYS. and, it arrived in a junky box in obviously extremely used condition with scratches on the top, sides and keyboard, and when i plugged it in, straight out of the box, it would not boot to the home screen or even function at all. Then I tried to get a return label and it was a disaster! I jumped through every hoop GROUPON threw at me and STILL could not get their ESCALATION team to send me a return label. I used to love GROUPON and buy tons of services and items through them. Never again after spending over 3 hours just trying to get them to send me a return label.”

“customer service and the so called ''online chat'' people are NEVER helpful, they just copy paste things for you. Orders never came in time. Once my package got lost and they didn't help me for about 1.5 month! Their redeemtion codes NEVER work. They just suck up your money.”

“The first time ever using Groupon I bought a voucher in the amount of $30. I later found out when booking an appointment for the place that is was no longer open. I then received a credit to use for a different place. This time i bought a voucher in the amount of $140 including the credit. I spoke to the owner who told me I would benefit from a different service alltogether. I tried to get a refund through Groupon and they blocked my email and would not answer any more of my questions or offer any support at all. Wouldn't recommend unless you call the place you're going to buy from beforehand.”

“Why do they refund my orders without a reason? I receive offers to buy groupons, and then when I do, they refund them. Why would I ever use Groupon again if they just refund any deals I get?”

“Purchased one voucher for weekend break from Groupon. Only problem was they took payment off my credit card TWICE on two separate days! Spent approx. 7 WEEKS trying to get money back but was met with same answer after numerous phone calls and e-mails. Groupon always asking for same details- in the end they stopped replying and never refunded the money they took illegially Took the bank to sort it out for me. Avoid Groupon at all costs!!!!”

“This is an Internet Marketing company, operating in UK as though they the law to themselves. From my direct experience of dealing with them as a customer, I find Groupon systematically engages in shortchanging their customer by clever manipulation of information, illegal misrepresentation and poor service. It is very costly and time-consuming to contact the company as no the company seems not have any physical presence in the UK and the phone calls(the UK landline No) to the company are always directed to some dysfunctional call centres in the Philippines with no positive outcome.”

“I ordered a basic smart watch for work, to use the features on the watch such as push notifications it tells you to download a free apk app, once I did that my phone was inundated with pop up ads INCLUDING PORN. Do not install the free app!!!”
