      I purchased from Groupon and wasn't able to use the voucher I purchased because there wasn't disclosed information about the service before I purchased through Groupon. I purchased an eye exam and was told that I couldn't use the Groupon unless I paid extra money and that was what the Groupon stated. I tried calling Groupon but they didn't have a live person to communicate with.

      Hello *****,

      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: Thank you for reaching out regarding your order. I understand your frustration with not receiving your wine.

      I want to clarify that the deal you purchased states, "After purchasing this deal, you'll need to visit the merchant's website to complete redemption." This means that we provide discount codes for **************, and its necessary to use that code to place your order directly with them.

      It seems you may not have opened your Groupon voucher, which contains the necessary redemption code and instructions for completing your order on the merchant's website.

      Additionally, since your order was placed on September 2, 2024, it is now beyond our three-day cancellation window, so were unable to issue a refund for this transaction.

      If you need assistance with using your discount code or have any other questions, please let me know.

      Thank you for your understanding.

      Regarding your complaint: Thank you for your reply. I understand your frustration regarding your order.

      Unfortunately, as mentioned in our previous message, the deal you purchased requires you to complete your order directly through ************** using the link and code provided in your Groupon voucher. We have verified that the link is functioning properly: **************************************************************.

      Since your order was placed on September 2, 2024, it is also past our three-day cancellation window, and we are unable to make exceptions for refunds in this case.

      If youre having difficulty with the merchant's website or need assistance with the redemption process, please let us know, and well do our best to help.

      I am rejecting this response because: I simply want my money back. I will go to my bank and file a FRAUD charge against the money already given to this company. None of this was posted on the web site I was on when purchasing the wine and I have said, the site where I made the purchase was NOT a third party site but  THERE site. I see no reason why my money can't be returned.

      On April 16, 2024, i saw and Ad on groupon that "appeared" to be a company called ********* which sells music production software. The ** even had the company website link and pics of the website. The deal seemed good and the ad seemed legitimate so i bout a 140 dollar bundle with a coupon to make it $112.00 total. Once purchased, the Groupon website said i had to email a copy of my voucher to ********************* to get my products. I knew right away this was a scam because of the email address. The real address is ********************** This "Person" sent me a file in an email with what appears to be pirated disc images of the real software. I did not open it and immediately called e2genesis and they confirmed this was a scam. I immediately notified Groupon and was told by them they had "reached the seller" and to email him through the fake business email *********************.SERIOUSLY!? I just told them this was a scam and they want me to contact the scammer to get resolved? The actual company told me they are trying to get the fraudulent ad removed but having hard time. That's insane to me. I had to cancel my credit card since they had my cc number and report fraud to ***********. I want my money back and Groupon should be responsible for hosting fraudulent ads on their website.

      I purchased wellness and spa package with a company called ******* wellness and spa that expires December the 11th for my girlfriend. The merchant will not allow the purchase voucher to be used. I have contacted Groupon to report it and get a refund through their support system. It will not allow me to submit my complaint. I will submit the error message that I continued to receive. I have met the requirement of minimum 15 words but it will not submit. I dont want to lose my money because of this. I have tried to call their number online but they dont offer any other support phone nor email. It states 15 word minimum and this is my sentence:The issue is that the massage tech ******* no longer works there and the establishment wont honor the gift card. Please assist me with contacting the business for a refund.

      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 apologize for the trouble.

      Regarding your complaint: I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience youve encountered with the ******* Wellness and Spa package, especially considering it was intended as a thoughtful gift for your girlfriend. I can understand how frustrating it must be to face such challenges, and I appreciate your patience and persistence in resolving the matter.

      It's unfortunate that you encountered issues with our support system and were unable to submit your complaint despite meeting the requirements. I suggest trying a few troubleshooting steps that may help: please clear your browser's cookies and cache, try using a different browser, or if you're accessing us through the Groupon app, uninstall and then reinstall it. These steps can sometimes resolve submission errors.

      In the meantime, I would greatly appreciate any additional details you can provide about your experience. This information is vital as we address these issues with the business directly, ensuring they do not happen again in the future. Specifically, if you could share:

      - How and when you learned that the business was not accepting your Groupon.
      - The name of the person you spoke with at the business.

      This information will enable us to understand and rectify the situation more effectively. Its concerning to hear that *******, the technician associated with the gift card, is no longer there, and that the business is refusing to honor the gift card. Rest assured, we will handle this matter with the attention it deserves.

      Thank you again for your patience and understanding. I will continue to support you in seeking

      On Oct. 18, 2024, I purchased a Groupon for an oil change at *********************************************, located at ******************************************. I purchased it with the hopes of getting an oil change. I went to the location on Oct. 19, 2024, @ 4pm. The location close at 6. The Groupon stated no appointment is needed. I assumed the process would work at any other oil change procedure, which I typically go to valvoline. This location is now closer to my new residence, hence my reason for purchasing their Groupon. I go into the establishment, a man by the name of ***** was rude. He stated, they dont have a scanner to accept my Groupon, and that I had to make an appointment anyways. Besides we close at 5. I began recording the conversation on my phone once I realized he wasnt being truthful, and was denying me of the service. After he stated that, I walked out to my vehicle, to review all the details in order to verify the information, again. It stated on the voucher that I dont require an appointment, and theyre close time is 6pm. After I went back into the establishment to show him the small print on the voucher, he still sat there, and shrug his shoulders. I wasnt able to get the services which I paid for. I needed it done on this day, due to me being off work. Ive been calling to speak with someone who can help end this situation. All Im asking for is my refund! I dont have funds to waste, nor lose. I wont be going to their oil change facility any further. I have the receipt of purchase. I have a screenshot of the small print, and a video as well of the interaction between the companies employee, and l. Its not fair to take my funds, and not provide me with the service which I paid for, on the date which I needed it to be done, (as well as had the time to get it done). Please provide me with my refund so this issue can be over with. Thank you!

      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 apologize for the trouble.

      Regarding your complaint: I am truly sorry to hear about the inconvenience and frustration you've faced with the multiple last-minute cancellations. I understand how this could certainly lead to inconvenience and disappointment, especially when seeking relief for your back issues.

      It is concerning that you feel the service provided qualifies as a scam due to these repeated occurrences. This is not the level of service we strive to offer, nor is it acceptable for appointments to be canceled without adequate notification. Your determination to attend your scheduled appointment, only to find it had been canceled without notice, must have been particularly disappointing. The delay in communication on this occasion and the subsequent explanation you received clearly did not meet the standard of professionalism we expect from our team.

      I want to assure you that I have escalated your issue to our resolution team.

      Please note that we usually receive updates real quick, but sometimes it may take up to 7 days as we need to conduct a thorough investigation with the merchants in the backend. Rest assured, we are working diligently to resolve this matter as soon as possible.

      I bought a coupon from laser resurfacing and used it on 10/14/2024. I paid $199 + tax. The package was advertised to be at a place called Bravo Touch, but the actual treatment was performed at **************. The aesthetician burnt my face, and I am left with scars all over my forehead, cheeks, chin, and my Jawline. It has been four days since then, and my skin still hasn't healed. Upon questioning, I have been told that this should not have happened, but nothing can be done now. I reached out to Groupon on this issue and need help getting a refund for the package, which is not even 50% of the two sessions I purchased. The advertising is done without confirming with the business and checking the credibility of the aesthetician. I am willing to share the pictures of burnt areas on my face

      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 **************************. I apologize for the trouble.

      Regarding your complaint: I am truly sorry to hear about your recent experience with the laser resurfacing treatment. It's concerning to learn that the service you received did not meet your expectations and that it resulted in such a distressing situation.

      I completely understand how upsetting it must be to have undergone a treatment expecting rejuvenation but instead facing discomfort and injury. The discrepancy in service location from Bravo Touch to **************, combined with the adverse reaction you experienced, is incredibly troubling and certainly not what was advertised or expected.

      We take such matters seriously, especially concerning customer safety and satisfaction. The fact that your skin has not healed four days post-treatment is indeed alarming, and I regret the inconvenience and discomfort this has caused. Your safety and well-being are of utmost importance, and this should not have happened.

      I've gone ahead and issued a full refund to your original form of payment and removed this voucher from your account. You'll receive a separate automated email message to confirm this as well. While we issue all refunds immediately, it may take your financial institution a few days to post the credit to your statement.

      Once again, I'm sorry for the inconvenience you've experienced and thank you for your patience and understanding as we work towards resolving.

      Thank you for understanding!

      Regards,
      ******* *************

      On 10/14 I purchased 2 tickets from Groupon for the spartan race in *************** for 12/7/24. After purchasing the tickets the online registration was not working, I tried calling and they do not have a working number so I emailed them. After 24 hours of silence I messaged them on ******** and managed to get a response and after 2 hours of messaging they could not figure out the issue and promised to email me with a resolution. That resolution never came so day 3 now I am messaging them again and they are going in circles with the same trouble shooting from the day before. Eventually I give up because they stop responding and try to return the tickets on Groupon which promised a 3 day refund guarantee. Groupon which also doesnt have a working day phone number says they have to reach out to Spartan race because these tickets are now not refundable per their policy even though they advertise there is and they reply an hour later that Spartan race verified their registration IS WORKING, I try again and it is of course not working. I had no choice but to dispute the charge with my credit card company. I will be filing a claim with the court if need be.

      I am rejecting this response because: They are skirting the problem and have sent the same message to me when I tried to resolve the issue. They guarantee refund and then refuse to issue it. The 2 tickets they sold me do not work for the event. 


      Sincerely,

      Murad Aldiyev

      This is a generic response they keep sending over and over and does not solve the issue.
