Please DO NOT buy anything via groupon. They are bunch of selfish and greedy people who will keep you money and force you to buy groupon credits.

"Unfortunately, we're unable to accommodate your request at this time due to current circumstances, which have limited our resources.". This is the response when I asked to speak to a supervisor. They will NOT forward you. They will NOT give you a refund. They will NOT help you. Be careful!!!

I ordered a Little Caesar's Groupon and immediately tried to use it. Little Caesar's refused to take it. I immediately contacted Groupon and was told that I could get only Groupon bucks, not a refund, because they're being big supporters of restaurants and, essentially, want refunds used to support them during COVID - 19. (And yes, they did use the name of the virus.) I was TRYING to support a restaurant via Groupon. So I got screwed.

WHAT A SCAM! I purchased a Groupon for carpet cleaning. I called the company and was told they are not making appointments until the pandemic is over. A month? Six months? A year? Who knows? The groupon is worthles something they knew or should have known. And, as many others have stated, they will not refund my money, only offer a credit. Worthless!

Never again! Never! Merchant wouldn’t take the voucher and they did not reimburse, saying they couldn’t reimburse PayPal. Lost the cost of the groupon and the $30 merchant offer that was to be applied to my purchase.

I SUSPECT THEY ARE OPERATING ILLEGALLY. Purchased Product March 4, 2020. Never delivered. On April 26, 2020, Groupon said they were cancelling the order but not refunding the money, only a credit. I demanded US dollars. GROUPON REPLY, WORD FOR WORD...."...AS A RESULT OF COVID-19 (NOTE MY ORDER DATE WAS MARCH 4), WE ARE UNABLE TO OFFER A REFUND TO YOUR ORIGINAL FORM OF PAYMENT"

Do not purchase anything from them. I purchased two hotels stays for over $400 and read all the fine print clearly and it states a full refund if canceled. With all the Covid 19 happening it tried to cancel well in advance and was told my only option is Groupon bucks and I could not have a refund to my original form of payment. This place is awful! Do not use them unless you want to be out all your money!

Do not buy from Groupon. I purchased 2 Groupons for my husband's 40th birthday which we had to cancel going because of Covid. Nashville isn't opening entertainment until phase 3 so my Groupons will likely expire. I wanted a refund and they refused, stating to only give a credit (which has to be used in 8 weeks) and refused to let me speak to a manager. I can not believe that a company would not give money back to people for items they are unable to use. It's not our fault we can't use them. I will not buy another Groupon and will be telling my friends not to as well. What a crappy company.

DON'T TRUST GROUPON i Ordered a coat and when it arrived it was the wrong color. Although it was within the 14 days that Groupon says on their website that merchandise can be returned, Groupon would not refund to my original method of purchase which was my credit card via PayPal. I was told the money would only be refunded in Groupon Bucks. THAT WAS NOT MADE PLAIN ON THE PAGE WHERE I ORDERED. DON'T ORDER FROM GROUPON OR YOU'LL GET STIFFED.

"GROUPON STEEL YOUR MONEY, DO NOT BUY FROM THEM" I purchased some garden furniture in March, the items didn't arrive as expected, given current circustances around Covid, I was tolerant of a delay. 4 weeks later my goods have still not arrived and they have advised I can only have a credit and they can no longer fulfil my order. You pay, trust and then don't get products or your money back. AVOID GROUPON AT ALL COSTS.....SCAMMERS!!!!!!

Bought Groupon and days later facility closed due to Covid-19. Groupon refused to extend the expiration date and only offered a credit to me. When you can’t use a Groupon due to a pandemic this is the best they can do- I think not!

SCAM! THEY STEAL YOUR MONEY!! DO NOT BUY I bought a voucher for a restaurant via Groupon, and I made reservations on the Groupon app. However, few weeks after I made the reservation, Groupon cancelled it, and I chose a new date. This happened several times, every time I booked a new date, Groupon would cancel it without specifying why. At this point I did not wish to go through with it and I requested a refund. Mind you, according to their plans you can request a refund for a voucher. However, after requesting a refund, they let me know that they do not wish to give me the refund, and they are using the corona crisis as an excuse in their email? They specifically told me, the businesses they’re working with are losing money, and they have to support them, which is why they won’t give me a refund. I do not understand how that is my or anyone’s problem, and why my money is being funded to businesses who are losing money. They keep referring me to their policies, but nowhere in their policies does it state that. After a long dialogue with them, they are still refusing to give me my money back, and they can not even give a valid reason why. They are THIEVES who are STEALING costumers money. They are using this crisis to make people buy vouchers, cancel them and steal the money. This a SCAM company, DO NOT BUY!! And the costumer service are the most rude people I have ever talked to. I have never received such a bad costumer service, which such a rude attitude from anyone before. They do not even understand their own policies, and i have tried twice where they made up fake policies, to avoid giving refund. I do not recommend anyone to ever use this app. If I could give them zero stars, I would.

Groupon refuses to allow me to offer my services as a licensed massage therapist from my residential office that is a registered and legal business in the local town hall due to an "incident" that occured a while back, but they refused to state what. This is like saying they had an "incident" with a black man, so they can't allow any other black man to sell his services either. What's the ifference? This is discrimination and prejudice no matter how they spin it. They have basically boycotted an entire profession for the actions of one, or even a few, if that's the case (didn't specify). They do offer massage services, as long as the mt is located in a commercial property, which makes no sense, as any "incident" can easily happen at a commercial office as easily as it can a residential office and some times more likely. Groupon shows great ignorance and discrimination when it comes to its merchants and should change this policy or be closed down.

Can i give them no stars? My groupon to a play was cancelled because of the global pandemic. Groupon takes my money and refuses to give my money back. "We can offer you Groupon live bucks with the added bonus that they never expire" I'm sorry, what? How is that acceptable? So now I'm your bank? Because there is no way that the plays won't be refunding your money. It's irresponsible, especially in a time of crisis like this, to be completely inflexible and unaccommodating in time where most corporations are understanding of the type of inconvenience that is going on everywhere at this time. "You can use your Groupon Live bucks to support a local business". Oh no you don't. Don't try to get some positive PR on this. Shameful. Not a good look Groupon.

Have used this site numerous times and as stated below their customer service are literally useless! a bunch of jobsworths that think they are in control!! For all of those below, please get back in touch with Groupon if they have refused a refund for money - this is actually not allowed under your consumer rights! they HAVE To give you a FULL refund minus the shipping fee to the card the goods were purchased on. They state this as this is what they are told to say by their management! it is wrong and breaches your rights! Do NOT Use this company - you will more than likely find the items cheaper on Ebay and will have a much better service! I too hope this company goes under - they do not deserve ANY customers!

So far I bought 3 items with Groupon, I better end up with them here before it gets worse. No concrete place to complain or liaise with the seller, no phone to call. Items: #805874639(hurricane x2 bike) Monitor of speed, heart rate, km never worked. #826929613(spray mop)it came with no screws but it is impossible to put it together B to C. C is supposed to get into B. I even used a cigarette lighter to softer C part(photos). #828406633 is still taking to long 9 days already I know because of Covid-19 but those organised need only a week. I will definitely uninstall the group app and stick to my eBay or Amazon for purchases as they are very organized.

People, never deal with this compony. Site is terrible, could not get answers to any questions. Money were taken from account and order was never delivered. Customer service is, pretty much,non existent. The worst experience ever. The company is a fraud.

Groupon blames merchant to not refund. They refuse to attempt to help, they rather blame. Order are taking weeks and if you try to cancel even before shipping, they will not refund you. They do weird charges to your account...authorize them total and then separate it, leaving a list of charges in your credit card account that doesn’t match the total or confirmation of order from Groupon.
