Groupon

I paid for three nights on groupon for the country inn and suites hotel in Savannah. When I showed up groupon sent a message to the hotel prior to me arrival that we paid for only two nights. Therefore I had to pay for an additional night on my cc. The hotel said that I have to call groupon. Groupon said there was nothing they could do and did not admit any wrong doing. Finally after a week of going back and forth and they gave me groupon bucks which I did not want because I just wanted to end our relationship with Groupon. I can afford to do business with a company that does not have the best interest of their customers in mind.

I would rather buy a used product from the flee market than buy another item with this shell game master. Talk about slide of hand: the add states priced reduced sale priced, only a few left. I purchased a comforter bed set that was nothing but junk. The quality was so poor, the misleading hype was 174.00 now marked down to 39.99, so I bought the item. When I received it, it was in a Chinese written box, my first red flag. I opened it up to find a bag of junk. The quality is so poor that this is not worth my time to box the junk back up. I will not buy another item through this service. They told me they check all their vendors out and they all pass the quality control to sell on groupon. That is a big LIE because this set is junk and cheap might be worth 5 bucks. They should rebrand themselves as junk on. Buy at your own risk, I will not buy again from this con game.

I don't want to waste any more of my time on this fiasco with Groupon so I will be brief.

They confirmed our reservation and emailed us the docs with a contact number to Solamar in Cabo but it was a non working number. Finally got another number(from groupon) to call and was told by the hotel that they couldn't confirm availability.

All told three hours on hold numerous times when we were told there is no room at the inn. I was told that a manager would call me back but of course nothing.

Shame on Groupon! I'll never use them again.

Beware of their questionable business practices.

Be aware of "Final Sale". I just paid over $100 for coupons for Architecture Tour of Chicago (boat ride) that turned out to be worthless, because I couldn't use them during Labor Day Weekend (which was the reason for purchasing) Then they refused to return my money because the sales were "final". What?! They cannot return my money I paid for an e-mail with bar codes I didn't use? Not to mention that it was just $7 off of original ticket price ($36 vs $43). I ended up buying another tour for $39 dollars directly from Wendella Tours & Cruises website. Total scam! Please do not use Groupon. Such dishonest company has to go out of business!

Groupon is a waste. Whatever I save thru groupon, they charge me half for the savings. Example: $100 item 80% off means I save $80 rite. No, I paid Groupon $40 to save $80. $40 to groupon + $20 for Item = $60 I saved 40% I can go just about anywhere online and get FREE 50% off coupons. Better yet I can goto any local school and buy and entertainment coupon book that is filled with $1,000's of savings in my area for $20. I know I bought one and most of the coupons are 50% off equivlents. People that think groupon is great just don't have a mathematical clue.

Groupon's website had issues loading, which caused me to accidentally order four tickets to Water Country USA when I only needed 2. Instead of refunding me for the two tickets since it was completely their fault for having a sucky website, Groupon insisted that the fine print for the deal said "all sales were final." I told them I was done using Groupon if they would not refund me since there was no way I was going to use a website that has such an unreasonable refund policy, but they remained stubbornly insistent that all sales were final. Forget them!
