I always have problems with Grupon and they charge me two times, when I buy only one thing

It was only a five dollar personalized item, but, still it's the principle of the thing. I had purchased an embroidered Pillowcase and when I went to to redeem, I guess I clicked too early or something, but there was no recourse, no one to answer when I wrote in to ask...just a referral to a generic site with FAQs that I had already tried. I just do not think it's consumer friendly to make it so difficult to know the redemption process. I think if people are fairly intelligent, trying to redeem and they mis-click, there should be a refund process that's easily findable...instead of ending up with nothing for your money.

I purchased a computer through Groupon; arrived DOA. There was not a recovery disc included. I attempted to contact Groupon, no way Jose. Groupon no longer has phone support. Groupon is simple...take customer's money and best of luck to buyer. I am done with Groupon.

I booked a travel for myself & my boyfriend, but we unfortunately cannot go so I have been trying to cancel it & get a refund for a month now and every time I click to talk to customer support it says how Groupon is currently unavailable and to try again later. So I’m short a good chunk of money for a trip we can’t even attend.

Have you ever damaged a gift you really liked and didn’t have the money to replace it, or purchase a brand new one? If you’re looking for promotions on almost all deals Groupon is not the service for you. Known for its discounts on expensive prices such as restaurants, technology, prescription glasses services, and even concert tickets, Groupon connects you to your favorite activities for much lower prices. I am someone who is great with managing money, so if I have the chance to save some of my money spent I will. This is why I find myself searching for a product on groupon after seeing it online websites multiple times. After spending money with Groupon on many occasions I began to learn their way of operating. Though this is almost the cheapest amount you will pay for the same quality product/service I say the troubles you will go through is not worth it. When paying for a product it usually goes fast because they only have a certain number set for customers to buy, so it would be most frequent for me to look past the information not provided, and I think nothing of it. Once receiving an email I learned that there would be additional money charged to me for taxes and fees, and when I arrived to the restaurant I was told they did not accept the voucher. After spending more money than anticipated it left me with empty pockets. For people trying to spend in their budget and still get something nice in return this is not quite the convenience. I cannot begin to explain how humiliated the situation left me. This company is not trustworthy in terms of its service and the promise to its customers. If you’re looking for a product with reliableness and precise expectations Groupon is not the right choice.

I purchased a comedy club night for Valentine's day, apparently I was refunded the money back, but I wasn't notified.. the last email I received from geoupon, was about 3-4 days before our even, stating " 4 more days for your event" When we arrived to the venue, they couldn't find our tickets. I try to go on my groupon app to show them our tickets, but with our bad luck the app wasnt opening up. To make the story short, they didnt let us in, my husband and I took days off work for no reason. As you can see, this was very upsetting! I was never notified about our tickets getting refunded and canceled!! I called customer support and all they said was " oh sorry, here is 5 dollars"

I ordered the Groupon deal for aa dozen flowers for Valentines Day. They asked the address and the date I wanted it delivered. My bank account was charged. The flowers did not come, but I received an email that they were delivered. When I tried to contact them to see what happened, the chat rep chatted back that the session was idle and ended the chat before I could respond. I asked for a refund , and they clearly would not address the request. I will dispute the charge. Poor, poor customer service. I will not be dealing with Groupon again and intend to tell as many as I can

I’m very unhappy about my experience. I completed a booking via groupon for a night stay. And due to emergency circumstances I’ve tried to request a change of date for the booking. Both the hotel and gropin have been contacted and between them both they are putting the responsibility of changing the date on one another, which has been a very frustrating experience. I really can’t see what the issue is, I’m not asking for my money back or to cancel. I’m asking for the date to be pushed back. Will not be booking a stay via the hotel or groupon again after this poor experience and would like someone to get back to me regarding processing a formal complaint for the poor customer service of both parties pertaining to this booking

Groupon is not helpful at all. I have 5 charges that I did not make. They will not take them off my account. Groupon knows the five charges. No direct phone line to talk to them. Beware...they are a bad company, and an unfair company, to do business

I just learned from personal experience that Groupon’s Promise is nothing but an empty promise! I have contacted both Groupon’s vendor and Groupon’s customer support ( if you can even call it that) and my problem is still unresolved. My UNUSED AND UNREDEEMED Groupon can not be refunded to me. They suggested me to gift someone else the Groupon I bought but unused but why would I do that if the product or service is unsatisfactory to begin with? It’s a joke how Groupon Promise gives a fake impression that they are behind you on your purchase but when you need help, they can even offer a real person to help you. I had to talk to a robotic messenger and learn that they are sorry they couldn’t refund my purchase even though it was UNREDEEMED. They just canny stand to spit that money back out once they took it from your hand. Why Groupon can’t match Amazon in its customer support is incomprehensible to me. The only reason I can think of is that it’s too big to care about each small individual customer but not big enough to back its 100% satisfaction guarantee like Amazon does. Shame on Groupon.

DO NOT USE GROUPON! Customer Service is terrible, who tells a customer they have a 3 day return policy!? After speaking to two customer service reps, and a supervisor they copied a pasted the refund policy, and told me to basically purchase more services to get rewards. I hadn't used the groupon and was supposed to be for a birthday gift but never had the time to do the groupon and knew it wasn't going to get used. You had to book the event months in advance and pay an extra fee of what I had already paid. Terrible customer service and policies, DO NOT use groupon its a scam.

I purchase tickets to a Las Vegas show on Groupon for my very first experience & first time shopping there. I noticed that the correct spelling of my name was not on the ticket, I contacted customer service to help fix the problem so that I will not get rejected at the door, after flying all the way to Nevada from California for this particular show. when speaking to the agent, they promise that customer service will fix the problem and get back to me & quickly in the conversation in the chat and closes the Box where I can no longer communicate with them. well it's been several days and I have not heard anything from anybody so when I contact them back they just told me to be patient and I have to wait to speak to someone on Monday. However my show is the Saturday before Monday, so how am I supposed to get help if my show is the Saturday before? and then they cut you off and say thank you very much and in the chat box again. you can't speak to anyone when you request the call, no one calls you back and they also tell you you can't get a refund so here I am flying all the way out to Vegas just to see a show that I purchased on Groupon just to get rejected at the door because my name isnt correct on the ticket and there is nothing that they can do about it. 195.00 down the drain. Please do not shop here they are Crooks, will steal your money and leave you clueless and running in circles until everything expires and say sorry unfortunately we can't help you. Groupon are thieves and Liars!

I purchased a Groupon activity for redemption at a specific place in Florida. Unfortunately, due to a job change, we moved before we were able to use it. I wasn't worried because Groupon claims that your purchases are always worth at least what you paid for them. I contacted Customer Support (chat) to request a trade-in, or refund but was informed that I could do neither. Despite the fact that I had shared with the C.S. rep that we no longer lived in the area, I was told I could use it there. Not at all helpful. The Groupon purchase was only $84.00 but since they are unwilling to allow trade-in or refund, I'm out the money. Very unfortunate! Additionally the rep ended the chat before I could inquire about an additional ongoing issue I had with a different Groupon Gift Card (still unresolved). Please think twice about purchasing through Groupon. I have experienced 2/3 dissatisfying results.

‎Alex Butch Fuller‎ to Groupon· CONSUMER BEWARE! Shady Business Practices... GROUPON Customers Alert! DO NOT SHOP WITH GROUPON! Still Have Not Received any Refund! As Stated:  GROUPON Alvin J., Nov 27, 10:57 PM IST: Hi Alex, Sorry to hear that this Groupon isn't going to work out for you. Since you're still within our 3-day cancellation window, I've issued a full refund to your original form of payment. Please note that it may take your financial institution a few days to post this credit to your account. Just so you know, if you want to cancel an order in the future, you can self-cancel many Local Groupon vouchers within one day of purchase through our website or mobile app. Don't have a mobile app? Download it here. And to find out more about self-cancellation, visit our FAQ. Thanks, Alvin J. Groupon Customer Support David and Goliath Story PLEASE FORWARD... #Big Company's Against Small Consumers GROUPON: I'm sorry for the continued frustration, but since you have already disputed the charge with your financial institution, we are unable to assist you further. I am sorry but there is nothing we can do at this point. Alex Replies: Please understand me, as I tell you that I have exhausted all the methods trying to get my refund, PayPal has conducted and closed the dispute because you issued a credit to Groupon acc. instead of as promised a full refund back to my financial institution..I have was directed to deal with Groupon directly to resolve this issue. Please just do the right thing! as mentioned and refund the money. The only reason it was escalated to PayPal protection is because it had been taking Groupon so long to refund the money...
