“Sketchy”

G u.
1/2/24

For exactly 120 for a couples massage was not reflected on my account. I contacted groupon and gave them the order number in question as well as screenshots of my confirmation email. Instead of inquiring on the issue they refunded a second groupon voucher I bought for a movie ticket in the amount of 26.45 when I paid 29.45 and skipped out on paying my 3 additional dollars. When I contacted them a third time, my email was blocked. I would have been fine calling and explain this issue but there is no customer service number. Beware of the bs. Groupon is sketchy.

“So hard to make a review on groupon have sent this to Mystery Flights no reply... want all to know.”

We were so excited my husband was given this as a birthday gift…. The extra expenses have been ridiculous… extra $100 each to fly out from Brisbane… extra costs to sit together on flight… car hire for 3 days cause a very basic motel is not near city, beach, etc…. We were not honoured any of our three Friday and Saturday night options… had to fly out on a Thursday… taking away our income (haven't even gone and down $1060)… gosh I hope our bottom of the peeking order destination is worth it!

This was my first time using groupon, it will probably be my last. If they don't work with reputable companies, then it's just a scam.

Its hit and miss with Groupon. Sometimes the coupons work but most times they don't.
There does not seem to be any rhyme or reason to it.

Groupon has no customer service at all. Emails are returned as non-deliverable. There is no way to get a hold of anyone. Never again

Receiving wrong item or apology email that they don't have the item. What a bummer! IT happened to me 2 times in two months. Very poor service!

Hi, Amor,

Thank you for reaching out to us via Site Jabber. I am very sorry for the wrong item arriving. I know how frustrating that experience can be.

I see our evening supervisor was working with our warehouse to locate a replacement item, and it was shipped out today. You should receive the correct item by the end of the week.

If you have any other outstanding issues I may assist with, please feel free to send me a message and I will be happy to resolve!

Best,

Jason Faria

Groupon agrees that I did not get what I paid for, yet they refuse to do anything about it. Beware. This is a scam.

I found very good deals on restaurants, car wash, photobooks and event tickets from this site. Their customer service staff are very helpful too.

I often visit this site to check the latest deals. No matter how things turn around, groupon always offers great deals with attractive price.

I always check Groupon first before making purchases. Chances are you can find what you're looking for but at a better deal on Groupon

Good but there isn't a page after purchasing: it's no possible to change the address of the shipment and follow it with tracking number.

For the most part, I've received quality products and service. There were a few things that I ordered that did not live up to their claim.

You can grab some great money saving deals on Groupon, yet the service leaves a lot to be desired, the apps and website needs updating

No customer service what so ever. Some one charged my card for something I did not order and shipped to someone else. Ignoring my messages.
