“Sometimes it's a good deal”

Tracey N.
3/30/17

You should always check to see what the real price of the items are before buying a Groupon. Lot of their stuff is just regular price but with some gimmick added on. Other than that, usually they have good deals. I still buy from them often.

“Failed to deliver theatre voucher”

Stuart K.
12/12/24

Theatre voucher failed to appear. After about two hours of online chat we were told the problem would be investigated which would likely take 48-72 hours. The show started in 2 hours. Attached picture shows order still processing an hour after the show began. Utterly incompetent and useless.

Please do NOT purchase the Borgata Groupon. You are NOT able to select your arrival date and after you call the Borgata to confirm they have ample availability they decline your date upon recalling. The process makes you purchase the Groupon and is a marketing strategy that does not benefit the consumer. Now I am stuck with a night in Atlantic City and this is not a place where I would choose to visit. The supervisiors were rude, sharp, and nonaccommodating. The solution was simple all the Borgata had to do is offer me a room at a lower rate given they CHOOSE to do BUSINESS with GROUPON. I even said downgrade my room. At one point in the conflict the associate refused to put his superior on the phone and stated, " I am just trying to save you time... The answer is NO". Interesting I am not sure I ever learned that strategy in consumer marking.?!
I as well hold Groupon accountable because they are misleading the consumer and that is irresponsible to internet consumers. Lastly, you would think a Borgata would want to do anything to please the costumer but clearly that is not the case. What ever happen to the costumer is right and politely do what ever you can to resolve the issue? I think the Borgata has accountablity. I wonder why the Borgata is doing business with Groupon? I thought th Borgata is was a stellar hotel. You would think they could account for their own marketing not bring in a secondary to met their goals. The Borgata is just a big name in a washed up town!
Atlantic City is a pit to begin with and if you think about it the folks they have to employ would be residents of the town. GROSS!
No Borgata for ME!

Tip for consumers:
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

BORGATA and GROUPON
IT IS A HOAX
