I usually call the merchants I am interested in before buying the coupons, and ask them if the groupon coupons work, and how much more I have to pay. You could do the same, contact the merchants you are interested in and ask them how groupon works for them?

Groupon is one of the worst companies I have ever dealt with. If you want your identity stolen, go ahead and sign up to do business with them. Isign ed up for a coupon once and my email was flooded with scammers trying to cheat me.

Well merchants are the ones advertising on groupon so I would ask them. Alot of ppl advertise on here, so it must be doing well. I as a buyer have had 1 problem out of 5 purchases. Groupon still has great deals on certain items. Not all, but i would also call the merchants that you want to purchase a groupon on first. Read the fine print on all deals

I Am not a merchant but have not had a problem with the merchants that advertise through Groupon.

Don't know, I'm not a merchant
