I could not find there customer service so I called my credit card to complain. They gave me two phone numbers listed on my transaction. Non of them worked. I tied to canceled the second charge but I could not reach nobody as the phone numbers didnt work. Online canceling was not posssible either. I tried to save money by using Groupon but instead I was double charged. Please just refund my money back

      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 Groupon.com.

      Regarding your complaint: I apologize for any trouble you encountered with these orders.

      I reviewed the details and see that you have placed 2 separate orders in your account on 05/07/2024 04:39 PM and 05/07/2024 03:46 PM CST.

      Your reservations were refundable until 05/10/2024 03:00 PM but we did not receive any cancellation request from your end. The first email request we received from you was on 8 June, 2024.

      Unfortunately, as your reservation was past the cancellation deadline, and also past the stay dates as well, it was no longer refundable.

      I'm afraid we will not be able to assist with a cancellation on your reservation at this time.

      Thank you for your understanding.

      I requested a refund within the 3-day refund period, and received no response. Now that the 3-day window has closed, I am no longer eligible for the refund despite my email evidence that I requested it on time.

      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 Groupon.com.

      Regarding your complaint: Thank you for reaching out and I apologize for any trouble with this.

      I reviewed your account but wasn't able to find any previous requests submitted from your end, and looking at the provided screenshot it appears that you have replied to the purchase confirmation that you received.

      Please note that the purchase confirmation is not a customer support portal, and you must submit your requests from the help section of our website.

      As an exception in your case, I've just canceled this order and issued a refund in Groupon Bucks to your account. You'll receive a confirmation email as soon as they have processed.

      These Bucks are available immediately and never expire. You can check your balance any time from your My Groupons page.

      When you're ready to use your Bucks, make sure they apply to your purchase at checkout. Just check the box next to "Apply available Groupon Bucks" under Payment Method, and the number of Bucks in your account will be deducted from your total.

      Thank you for your understanding.

      My Groupon account was hacked on 6/16 for $840. My bank immediately contacted me and I filed A complaint with Groupon. My bank returned the funds during the inquiry, but Groupon verified the purchase and recharged my account. I have been going back and forth with Groupon, they tell me to contact my bank, bank says its Groupon since they verified the charge. Every time I contact Groupon THROUGH CHAT ONLY, I am given a generic response, have to wait 3 days, and they always say to contact my banking institution. My bank has verified MANY times that the issue is in Groupon for verifying the purchase as accurate, this is why they do not refund my account.

      I purchased a Groupon for 6 sessions of laser hair removal for full body with Skyns Spa on 8/7/24 for the amount of $1,619.19. On 8/13/24 I called the merchant to schedule my first appointment for September and was told to call back the first week of September. I went to visit the address listed on the Groupon for this business and when I got there, I was told by the new business owner that Skyns Spa no longer operates there. I started to feel uncertain about this place so I researched them on ****** to see if I could find some information about them and a new address. They did not mention on the phone that they moved. I found evidence online that this merchant was forced to close their business by the state of NJ for providing services without the proper licenses and that they are banned from providing services for 10 years. I contacted Groupon customer support to bring this to their attention (providing them with this evidence) and to request a refund since I no longer feel comfortable or safe receiving services from this merchant. They insist that the merchant is reachable and honoring vouchers and that they cannot give me a refund. I refuse to get services from a business that has been forced to close by a government agency but is still providing services illegally. Are these the kind of business that Groupon works with? They are willing to send their customers to a merchant who is unlicensed, unregistered, and providing services illegally just so they do not have to give a refund. I have not opened or used my voucher. I want to get a refund for the full amount I paid on the original payment method.

      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 Groupon.com. I apologize for the trouble.

      Regarding your complaint: I apologize for the inconvenience and frustration you have experienced with the Skyns Spa voucher.

      Your feedback has been forwarded to the relevant team, and our concerned team has confirmed that Skyns Spa is now located just 2 minutes away from the old address. The merchant has instructed that you should call them at the beginning of September to schedule your appointment.

      However, I understand your concerns and your desire for a refund for this purchase. While the deal is unfortunately no longer eligible for a refund to your original payment method due to surpassing the cooling-off period of 3 days, we want to ensure you are satisfied with your Groupon experience.

      As a gesture of goodwill, and because we value you as a customer, we can offer you a full refund in the form of Groupon credits. I have sent you an email directly with instructions on how to process this refund. If you encounter any issues or have further questions, please feel free to reply to that email, and I will assist you promptly.

      Thank you for your understanding and patience. We are here to help and ensure that your experience with Groupon is a positive one.

      Complaint: 22146415

      I am rejecting this response because: I appreciate your effort to provide me with a refund via credits, but the amount I paid is too big for me to accept as Groupon credits. 
      I did not expect any of this to happen when I bought the deal. I had every intention of using it before I discovered that this merchant is possibly providing services after being forced to close down by NJ Attorney General and fined for providing such services without proper licenses. 

      I have already provided evidence of this.

       It was very disturbing to find that out and it made me lose trust in your company. I understand that you have a 3-day refund policy, but I believe that my case is an exception and that I have good reason for wanting a refund.

      Please, process a refund to my original payment method. 

      Sincerely,

      Regarding your complaint: Thank you for reaching out to us regarding your recent purchases. We have received your request for a refund for orders #********** and #**********.

      We understand that the deal you purchased was advertised in USD, and upon checking with the merchant in your Canadian location, you were informed that they could not honor the vouchers due to the currency discrepancy. Unfortunately, upon checking, the addressed you mentioned as visited was not mentioned in merchant's honorable locations.

      In this situation, as a one-time exception, I've issued a full refund for both orders to your original form of payment. You'll receive a separate automated email message to confirm this as well.

      Please note that while we issue all refunds immediately, it may take your financial institution a few days to post the credit to your statement.

      The service that Groupon refuses to refund me for was a $130 whale watching tour. I purchased it for 2 people with a company 'Princess Monterey'. It was purchased and booked on the same day, July 31, 2024, for the tour at 3.30pm. I paid $130 at groupon.com.I live ~2.5 hours away from ********. I was 5 minutes away when I received a call from Viator (another middleman in this deal, they sell boat tours to Groupon, and Groupon sells to us). The lady on the phone told me that the Princess ******** contacted them and told them that the tour will be canceled. They offered me to either reschedule or refund. There was no other time to reschedule, 3.30pm was the last tour. It was Sunday, I couldnt book for another day, and couldnt wait for the next weekend (my niece was flying back home before that, and this tour was for her). So I asked for a refund.I never received a refund from Groupon. I also found out that they charged me twice, so instead of a $130 charge I was charged $260.I contacted Groupon and received an email stating that they will issue a full refund. I was supposed to receive an additional confirmation of this refund (never received it).I filed a dispute with my credit card company (***** Fargo), which they closed, because "merchant informed them that I was made available of the services and chose not to use them".Then Groupon was telling me that they could not refund me until the dispute was closed (which it was, closed, I sent them a screenshot of the email confirmation from ***** Fargo).After 2 weeks and multiple conversations with Groupon customer service agents, they still owe me $260. $130 of which they simply stole from me, by charging me twice without my consent.They finally agreed to credit me, but it their Groupon credits! Not with my money back.I want them to refund me in full, and pay for the time that they use my money that they stole from me, and for they time that I spent talking to their agents, trying to get my money back from them.

      I have tried multiple times to contact the company to cancel the order right after I made the order. Finally received information that order had been processed. Once I received it I have been trying to return item for full refund, but no response from Groupon. There is no number to call only email, but no one has responded. I reached out to third party and they are not able to refund states that Groupon has my money. Seeking a resolution.

      I am rejecting this response because: It does not resolve the issue. It is more of the same. An empty system generate response that does not address the issue directly. I need an address label to return the item and a clear time line for my money to be refunded to me. 

      Sincerely,

      I am rejecting this response because: It is the same response without a resolution. They refer me to this ******************* who then refers me back to Groupon. I sent my money to Groupon and I am unable to receive a response that lets me know how to get my money back. They only provide hollow apologizes.
