      05/2025 I purchased a Groupon for Windy City Skydiving for two tandem jumps. I was sent a confirmation email. However, it stated to not open the voucher until you are ready to redeem the Groupon. So, I waited until I was ready which was several months after purchase. The Groupon had not expired and after driving the two and a half hours to the location to redeem purchase, there was no way to redeem my voucher. It does not show my Groupon at all, yet I have the email confirming my purchase. I have attempted to reach someone at Groupon a dozen times and there has been no contact. I was not given an order tracking number and the credit card I used to purchase the Groupon is no longer active. So as of now I am out the $312.00. It is incredibly frustrating to not be able to contact someone directly through Groupon to figure out why my Groupon isn't showing up even though I have an email confirmation.

      Regarding your complaint: I sincerely apologize for the frustration and inconvenience youve experienced, especially after traveling a significant distance to redeem your voucher.

      Upon reviewing the confirmation email you provided, I noticed that the order was sent to the email address ************************************ This is a private relay email generated when using the Sign in with Apple feature during checkout.

      4. Check whether you chose to Hide My Email if so, this private relay email (gpwpgzw4d @************************) is what you need to log in with.
      5. Return to ************************** or the Groupon app and sign in using "Sign in with *****" to access the correct account.

      We understand how frustrating it can be when a voucher is not accessible, especially in time-sensitive situations. Regarding your comment about lack of support please know that our Customer Support Team is available 24/7 via chat and email, and were committed to resolving issues as quickly as possible.

      I am filing this complaint against Groupon regarding an unresolved issue with a merchant. On August 28, 2025, I had an appointment for a procedure covered by Groupon Order #**********. The voucher was for two CC of Restylane Lyft for my chin. Before my consultation, the merchant prematurely redeemed the voucher. The physician then advised that Restylane Lyft was not suitable and sold me Juvaderm separately, leaving the original Groupon service unfulfilled. The merchant refused a refund and insisted I use the voucher on another area, which I did not want.I contacted Groupon support multiple times, explained that the voucher had been redeemed without the service being rendered, and provided text messages where the merchant admitted the procedure was never performed. Despite assurances, no full resolution was offered. Instead, on September 25, 2025, Groupon proposed only a partial refund. This is unacceptable given my proof that the two CC of Restylane Lyft were not provided.This shows negligence by the merchant and Groupons failure to protect customers. When no service is provided, a full refund is owed. I have been left with a redeemed voucher, no service, and only an unfair partial refund offer despite clear evidence. If this matter is not resolved, I will escalate beyond the BBB.

      Hi Eshioma,

      Thank you for reaching out to us through the Better Business Bureau. I have reviewed your most recent comment and all internal Groupon correspondence. I responded to you a moment ago via email from **************************.

      Regarding your complaint: I hope this message finds you well. I sincerely apologize for the frustration and inconvenience this situation has caused. I completely understand how upsetting it must be to feel that the service you purchased was not fully delivered, despite your repeated attempts to resolve the matter.

      I want to assure you that we take issues like this very seriously. Our internal team thoroughly reviewed your case and reached out to the merchant regarding your refund request. The merchant has confirmed that 1cc of Restylane Lyft was provided, and based on this, they were unable to authorize a full refund for the remaining portion of the voucher.

      As a result, a partial refund of $339.79 has been issued to your original payment method to reflect the portion of the service that was not provided. While I understand this may not be the outcome you were hoping for, this partial refund represents the value of the unused portion of your voucher.

      I truly regret that this experience has been disappointing, and thank you for your patience and understanding throughout this process. If you have any other questions or need further assistance, feel free to ask!

      Regards,

      reject this response because the merchant has confirmed on numerous occasions that services were not rendered for the 2 cc of Restylane Lyft. Furthermore, the merchant texted me on Monday with new information regarding this situation, again confirming that I did not receive the 2 cc of Restylane Lyft, and is willing to provide me the full and complete refund. If this is not adequately resolved and I do not receive my full refund, I will dispute the charge with my bank and forward them all communication between Groupon and I, as well as between the merchant and I.

      Hi Eshioma,

      Thank you for taking the time to share your concerns with us. I truly understand how frustrating this situation must be for you, especially after multiple communications with the merchant regarding the Restylane Lyft treatment. Please know that your experience is important to us, and I sincerely apologize for any distress or inconvenience this situation has caused.

      I have carefully reviewed all the screenshots and communications you provided. Based on our records and correspondence with the merchant, we have not received any formal confirmation approving a full refund for the services in question. The voucher in question has been redeemed, and a portion of the treatment (1 cc) was provided. For this reason, the merchant has declined your request for a full refund.

      I completely empathize with your frustration, and I understand that this outcome may not be what you were hoping for. While we always strive to ensure our customers have a positive experience, we must also operate within the terms agreed upon with our merchant partners, which include the handling of partially redeemed services.

      That said, the merchant has confirmed that the remaining 1 cc of Restylane Lyft is still available for use and can be applied to any eligible treatment area of your choice. We encourage you to make use of this remaining portion, as it is part of the services included in your original voucher.

      We genuinely appreciate your patience and understanding as we work within these guidelines. I assure you that your concerns have been carefully reviewed, and we are committed to maintaining transparency and fairness in all interactions.

      If you have any further questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out. Thank you again for your understanding and for giving us the opportunity to address your concerns.

      I booked a Groupon on September 5th, 2025 for a hotel stay at **************** for October 3-4, 2025. The terms state that you may cancel up to 9 days before the check in date. No where in their terms does it state that there is a time cut off of 4:00 pm on the 9th date for cancellation. I contacted customer service to cancel today and was told it was past cancellation, even though I was never informed there was a time cut off on the 9th day. Im seeking a full refund from Groupon.

      Hi ********,

      Thank you for reaching out to us through the Better Business Bureau. I have reviewed your most recent comment and all internal Groupon correspondence. I responded to you a moment ago via email from **************************.

      Regarding your complaint: I hope this message finds you well. I completely understand how plans can change unexpectedly, and Im truly sorry for the frustration youve experienced while trying to cancel your stay. Please accept my sincere apologies for any inconvenience caused.

      Ive carefully reviewed your reservation and the cancellation policy attached to your deal. The terms specify that cancellations must be made at least 9 days prior to check-in. As your check-in time is scheduled for October 3, 2025, at 4:00 PM, the cancellation deadline was September 24, 2025, at 4:00 PM.

      Unfortunately, once this window has passed, the booking becomes non-refundable and non-changeable. We strive to be transparent with our policies, and this information is detailed on the deal/ purchase page to help our customers make informed decisions.

      Regrettably, as the cancellation period has now passed, we are unable to modify or cancel the reservation at this point. I know this isnt the outcome you were hoping for, and I truly wish there was more I could do for you in this situation.

      I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your understanding. If you have any other questions or need further assistance, please don't hesitate to let me know.

      Complaint Against: Groupon, Inc.Date of Transaction: April 18, 2018 Product/Service: Lone Star Parachute Center Two (2) Tandem Skydive Vouchers Total Amount Paid: $330 Complaint Details:On April 18, 2018, I purchased two Groupon vouchers ($165 each, total $330) for tandem skydives at **************************, with order numbers ***T979-T4TN-ZJX5-GTBL and 1000-091615-504361. The merchant has since permanently closed, making redemption *************** is how Groupon has mishandled the matter: For one voucher ($165), Groupon unilaterally issued a refund in Groupon Bucks (store credit) without my consent. I never agreed to accept store credit. For the second voucher ($165), no refund of any kind has been issued.I attempted to resolve this with Groupon, who initially offered Groupon Bucks and directed me to the closed merchant, which is not a viable solution. Groupons actions contradict their policy, which states that customers are entitled to a refund if a merchant permanently closes. Substituting store credit for a cash refund and failing to address the second voucher is unacceptable.Resolution Sought:I request a full refund of $330 to my current active bank account (since the original payment method from 2018 is no longer valid). Specifically:1. Replace the $165 Groupon Bucks with a proper cash refund.2. Issue the missing $165 cash refund for the second voucher.

      I purchased two Groupon voucher for a Caramel Apple Hot Rock Pedicure with Gel Polish. When I attempted to reschedule my appointment, the business owner, ***** New, refused to honor my Groupon at all. She told me she no longer accepts Groupons even though this restriction was not disclosed in the fine print at the time of *********** try and resolve the issue, I even offered to pay her directly outside of Groupon in addition to the Groupon I had already purchased, but she still refused. She also demanded I pay half of the original service cost on top of what I had already paid through Groupon.I contacted Groupon support and explained the situation. Instead of addressing the fact that the merchant is refusing to honor Groupons altogether, Groupon told me they would not issue a refund due to the merchants cancellation policy. My complaint is not about a cancellation it is about the fact that the service I purchased is no longer available through Groupon because the merchant is refusing to honor it.This has left me unable to use the voucher I paid for, and Groupon is refusing to return my money. I am requesting a fair resolution in the form of a refund as Groupon credit/gift card, so I can use the funds with another participating business.

      Hi Leeya,

      Thank you for reaching out to us through the Better Business Bureau. I have reviewed your most recent comment and all internal Groupon correspondence. I responded to you a moment ago via email from **************************.

      Regarding your complaint: I hope this message finds you well. Im very sorry to hear about the difficulty you faced when attempting to reschedule your appointment, and that the business owner refused to honor your Groupon. I understand how frustrating and disappointing it must have been, particularly since you were prepared to resolve the situation directly and still could not use the services you purchased.

      After carefully reviewing your account and the details you shared, I can confirm that this matter was escalated to our internal team for resolution. Our team provided you with a secure refund link to process your Groupon refund, and I can see from our records that you successfully used that link. A full refund of $86.20 has now been issued in the form of Groupon Bucks to your account.

      These Groupon Bucks were applied immediately and are available for you to use right away. They do not expire, so you can take your time to select another Groupon that suits your needs. To view your current balance, please visit your My Groupons page. When youre ready to make a new purchase, simply check the box next to Apply available Groupon Bucks under Payment Method at checkout, and the corresponding amount will automatically be deducted from your total.

      I want to assure you that while the situation with the merchant was understandably frustrating, your full purchase amount has been refunded, and you can now use it towards any other deals. I hope this helps restore your confidence in using Groupon for future purchases.

      We truly value your loyalty and appreciate your patience while we worked to resolve this matter. If you have any further questions or need assistance, please don't hesitate to reach out, and Ill be happy to help.

      Regarding your complaint: I sincerely apologize for the trouble you experienced in accessing your voucher.

      Ive reviewed your account and can confirm that your Groupon purchase is associated with the email address ****************** As you were unable to retrieve your voucher at the time of use, Ive attached a PDF copy of your voucher to this email for your convenience and future redemption.

      To help you access your vouchers more easily in the future, please follow these steps on our website or mobile app:

      To view or print your voucher:

      1. Go to My Stuff on the website or app.
      2. Select See Details next to your purchase. On the app, tap the order itself.
      3. Click or tap View Voucher.
      4. From this page, you can choose to print your voucher, if needed.

      If the voucher does not load, it may be due to a temporary system delay. In such cases, try refreshing the page or using your browser's back button, then select View Voucher again. Please also ensure that you have a stable internet connection.

      Regarding your refund request for this purchase made on September 20, 2025, Ive carefully reviewed your case. Unfortunately, it turns out that the period we allow for refunds has already passed. This means we're unable to process a refund or accept a return at this moment.

A Groupon promotion appeared in the search results. I clicked on the offer, reviewed the description, and it appeared to be valid for Denver. The location information for ******, **, was displayed in tiny print and was unclear at the time of purchase.After completing the payment, a confirmation displayed a map and address in ******, **. This was misleading, especially since the offer stated the tickets were refundable before purchase. At no point was I warned that the tickets were non-refundable; a clear pop-up or larger print on the venue location would have prevented this mistake.Efforts to Resolve:I contacted Groupon immediately after realizing the error and requested a refund. I reached out multiple times, but each time I was told the tickets were non-refundable. Groupon only offered a $10 credit toward a future purchase, which I declined.Resolution Requested:I am requesting a full refund of $50.00 to my original form of payment. This is a fair and reasonable resolution, as the purchase was based on misleading advertising and the tickets were not usable for the intended Denver event.

      Complaint: 23925452

      I am rejecting this response because:

      When I searched Denver Titanic ************************** Groupons ad appeared. The Groupon deal page did not make the ******, ***** location clear until after purchase. The location details were displayed in a way that was unreasonably small and easy to miss. This is misleading, and it caused me to buy tickets for the wrong city in another state.
      Additionally, before purchase the tickets were represented as refundable. After the purchase, Groupon repeatedly claimed they were nonrefundable. This is a misrepresentation of the terms at the time of sale, amounting to a bait-and-switch.
      For these reasons, I reject Groupons response. I respectfully continue to request a full refund of $50.00 for the two tickets purchased in error due to their misleading advertising.
      Thank you for your assistance in keeping this matter open.

      Sincerely,

      **** *****

      I ordered a groupon to have 8mm transfered to digital. When I went to use it the company is saying g that 8mm isn't included. They said they can't cancel the groupon. So now the company is keeping $63, and groupon gets their $7. There is no way to contact groupon. All the links for help are down.
