  I purchased a Groupon voucher on [07.23.2025], and when I attempted to redeem it, the merchant would not accept it. I contacted Groupon support, and they refused to refund the money even though the voucher is unusable. I am seeking a full refund of $[amount] for services not received.

  I have reached out to Groupon, via chat, via email, via phone, to the vendor, to every option they gave with ZERO resolution or refund to the money that was taken fraudulently and by not offering any resolution to the situation. I am so tired of being scammed by companies that force you to use chat, sell products for another vendor or person and make you go through hundreds of hoops to get a resolution. A scam is a scam and I even asked if they could send me the vouched to be refunded that way. They will not help and will not respond with a solution such as a refund or replacement. I first was issued the wrong quickbook voucher for ********* in May, Groupon then issued me a new one for the correct Mac application of quickbooks, I had to use the groupon bucks of $180 to put towards the purchase of the new Mac Quickbooks Application which was an additional $46. I AM SEEKING THE FULL REFUND OF $230.00 FOR THE NON WORKING AND UNUSED QUICKBOOKS APPLICATION FOR MAC AND THE PORTION I HAD TO APPLY TOWARDS IT FOR $180. I have done everything I can to email the vendor, the supplier and have experienced multiple chats without any resolution. Please help me get my money back. It appears on the reviews this has happened to MANY people.

  I purchased a **** Club membership through Groupon. When redeeming it at the store it gave me an error, the **************** desk at **** club said my email was already registered with them thats probably the reason why I couldnt redeem it. I tried to explain I have never had a **** club membership but she said to contact Groupon. The problem is there is no way to contact them via email, chat or phone. All I want is a refund. I have 3 days to get a refund but I cannot even contact them to request it. Today is day 2.

  Regarding your complaint: I hope this message finds you well. I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience you faced with your scheduled teeth whitening appointment at Bright Smiles. It's truly regrettable that you arrived for your appointment only to find the location closed. I understand how disappointing and disruptive this has been for you.
  
  Upon reviewing your situation, our team initially processed a refund to your Groupon credits as it was outside the standard refund timeframe. However, I understand that you prefer a refund to your original payment method. Considering the circumstances, I have taken the liberty of processing a refund back to your original form of payment. Please keep in mind that while we issue refunds immediately, it may take a few days for your financial institution to reflect this credit on your statement.

  I purchased three separate vouchers on Groupon, each for a different service from the same business. Im an attorney, and I make a point to read fine print carefullyespecially when using Groupon, where terms can vary widely.Each of my vouchers included the phrase: Limit 1 per visit. Limit 1 per person. This language was listed individually on each voucher, with no further clarification. I reasonably interpreted this to mean that only one voucher could be used per service and per visitnot that I was prohibited from purchasing multiple different services from the same business.However, when I contacted the vendor to schedule my appointments, I was told they would only accept a single Grouponregardless of the service. This was not disclosed anywhere on the deal page or the voucher terms. Notably, Groupon is currently selling approximately 10 different offers for this same business, yet this limitation is never made clear to potential buyers.I contacted Groupon to request a refundsomething I believe is entirely reasonable given the lack of disclosureand was denied a return to my original payment method. Instead, I was offered a refund in the form of Groupon Bucks, which I find unacceptable. I attempted to explain the situation to customer service, and reiterated my request for a proper refund. They declined to make any exception or take responsibility.I am submitting this complaint in the hopes of resolving the matter with a full refund to my original form of payment. I would prefer not to escalate further, but will do so if necessary.I will not be making future purchases from Groupon. Given the company's steep decline in recent years, treating customers this way is not only short-sighted, but helps explain why Groupon has lost over 99% of its value since its IPO...

  On July 9, 2025, I received an odd email. "Purchase Confirmed: Thank you for your purchase!" The email was for an unauthorized Groupon purchase. When I saw this email, I was at a *************** soccer game in **. (This info will be pertinent later on.)I changed my password as quickly as possible, and I contacted Groupon. They didn't get back to me until 8 days later (July 17). They told me in an email: "Unfortunately, due to our refund policy and the nature of this deal, it was a non-refundable deal. Based on the nature of this deal, we pay the merchant for the voucher and cannot offer a refund, as per the conditions set by the partner when they agreed to feature the deal on our site."I reiterated that this was NOT about refund policy. This was an unauthorized purchase due to an account compromise. I then followed up with extensive documentation to prove my case:I provided photo and ticket proof with metadata showing I was at *************** in ********** at the time of the transaction (around 3PM). The purchase originated from ********, **, where I was NOT located.I included the device IDs and IP addresses of my actual devices a MacBook and a ******* Galaxy S24 Ultra and asked Groupon to compare them to the unauthorized login.I also pointed out that the Discover card used for the transaction was inactive, and Discover had already flagged the charge as fraud before I even contacted them. I provided an audio recording of the Discover agent confirming this.Despite all this, Groupon responded claiming there was no evidence of account compromise. When I asked if they compared my proof to the hackers login details, they did not respond. They ignored my verified location, unmatched devices, fraud flag from Discover, and overwhelming evidence my account was compromised.I am requesting Groupon return the $37.99 charged to me.All documentation, emails, device logs, and recordings are available upon request.

  Hello ********,
  
  Thank you for reaching out to us through the Better Business Bureau.
  
  Ive reviewed your most recent comments as well as all internal Groupon correspondence related to this matter.
  
  I also just responded to you directly via email from **************************.
  
  Regarding your complaint, we are here to help you resolve your concern regarding the unauthorized charge.
  
  I'm truly sorry to hear about this situation. I fully understand how upsetting and concerning it is to discover unauthorized activity on your account, especially when you've taken the time to provide detailed documentation. Please rest assured that your account security is our top priority, and we take such reports very seriously.
  
  ? At this time, I can confirm that no credit card is currently linked to your Groupon account, which prevents any further transactions from being made.
  
  ? We strongly recommend following up with your financial institution, which has already flagged this transaction as fraudulent. They are in the best position to assist you through their official dispute process, and we will fully cooperate with any inquiry they initiate.
  
  Additionally, Ive sent you a separate email containing password reset instructions to further protect your account. If you dont see it in your inbox, please check your spam or junk folder. For maximum security, we recommend creating a strong new password using a mix of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols.
  
  Although our initial determination did not find conclusive evidence of unauthorized access based on the information available at the time, I sincerely appreciate the extensive documentation youve provided.
  
  We deeply regret any frustration this situation has caused and are committed to providing full support throughout this process.
  
  Please continue the conversation via the direct email Ive sent. If you have any additional questions, feel free to reply to me there.

  Complaint: 23640367
  
  I am rejecting this response because:

  The only resolution Groupon has provided is changing my password, which I already did immediately after seeing that my account was compromised on July 9th. 

  Secondly, the resolution I'm seeking is the return of $37.99.

  Thirdly, I would like to hear the response to two questions from Groupon. (A) why the extensive documentation of proof I provided was deemed invalid as evidence of an account compromise and (B) what proof would you additionally need, on top of the ** mismatch, photo metadata proving an alibi, and more that I have provided, to prove that my account was compromised? I've thrown everything, including the kitchen sink, at this. What more do you want? 

  Additionally, I have requested to see the details of all of my personal login details so that it can be compared to the hacker's purchase activity. Guaranteed, as Ive already shown, this hacker's **, device details, and transaction differ from mine. Plus, my older, AUTHORIZED transactions from Groupon should also differ from this wayward, unfamiliar hacker activity.

  Ultimately, I just want Groupon to answer these questions so that I can get my stolen $37.99 back

  Regarding your complaint, I sincerely apologize for the frustration and inconvenience this matter has caused. I understand how distressing it is to deal with unauthorized activity on your account, and I want to assure you that your concerns are being taken seriously.
  
  We appreciate the substantial documentation you've provided, including the ** mismatch, geolocation metadata, ticket receipts, and confirmation of the password change on July 9. Your diligence has not gone unnoticed.

  Complaint: 23640367
  
  I am rejecting this response because:
  
  Groupon has now acknowledged that the $37.99 transaction was unauthorized (see attached document titled Admission of Unauthorized Purchase). This admission follows extensive evidence I submitted: including IP mismatch, geolocation metadata, password change records (see attached document called "Password Change"), and a toll violation placing me in a different state at the time of purchase (see Toll Violation Email).
  
  Despite this, Groupon has refused to issue a refund for the fraudulent charge, which raises serious concerns.
  
  This isnt an isolated case.
  
  Groupon reviews on "TrustedReviews" (see attached Groupon Reviews) reveal a disturbing pattern:
  
  -A number of users have reported account breaches at **********************
  -Users are then denied refunds even after presenting clear evidence of unauthorized access
  -Groupon delays and deflects, often until the consumer gives up
  
  I now suspect that Groupon is knowingly profiting from compromised accounts, either by refusing to refund stolen funds or by enabling a system where hacks go unremedied. Whether this is due to willful negligence or internal policy, it reflects systemic misconduct and possible consumer fraud.
  
  As a result, I have filed a police report with Nassau County Police (see attached), and I've already escalated the issue to the *** and the NY Attorney General.
  
  A class-action lawsuit may be the next step.
  
  If Groupon agrees the order was unauthorized, it is both unethical and potentially unlawful to withhold the refund. This raises the question: How many more victims have been silenced using this tactic?
  
  I respectfully urge the BBB to escalate this matter internally and flag Groupon for further investigation regarding potential abuse of consumer trust and possible violations of fraud and data protection laws.
  
  Thanks so much for your continued support and advocacy in protecting consumers.

  On July 5th @ 12:30pm my Mom had an appointment for an oil change. I confirmed that she would be able to use the Groupon Gift Certificate for her oil change. The employee said yes and made no mention of the terms of using the certificate. After her service, she called me telling me they charged her an extra $33.15 claiming that this was a better deal because the oil change originally costs $140. I went to check the Groupon and it actually states the full amount of the voucher needs to used in 1 visit. So essentially we paid for the voucher through Groupon using my groupon credit of $16 + the remainder price of $16.99, the voucher was redeemed, AND the additional $33.15 charged. After looking at Big O' Tires website, they are running promotions for oil changes for $59.99. I would like a refund for the amount paid for the voucher. I have tried to contact Groupon and they just keep running me in circles and keep asking me the same questions about the same situation. They are just trying to frustrate their customes in hopes they will just give up. This is a scam profiting of a 70 year old woman that didn't quite understand the situation. Groupon may have delivered the voucher to me, but they are supporting a business that is scamming customers. I purchased the voucher on their website. No wonder Groupon is no longer popular.

  Bought a *** membership voucher, thought I checked the fine print but found out it is for new members only and marked final sale only after I paid. No recourse, no way to reach a human - just an automated menu that basically says "sorry! why not just use it or gift it!" Really scummy Had to beg BJ's support to let me use the voucher and it's been two days and I haven't heard back from them as to whether they will honor it.

  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 genuinely understand your frustration regarding the challenges youve faced with your *** membership voucher. I sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this has caused you.
  
  We are committed to supporting you 24 hours a day through our chat and email support. You can always connect with our customer support team via chat and email through our FAQ page: [******************************************]
  
  Regarding the membership voucher, it is indeed specified for new members only, as noted in the restrictions on the deal/purchase page. Since your **'s membership was automatically activated upon your purchase, I regret to inform you that were unable to issue a refund. Please understand that this is a non-refundable deal. We strive to be transparent about these terms, and all key details are available on the deal/purchase page: [********************************************************************************************], allowing you to make an informed decision before purchasing.
  
  We sincerely regret any confusion and appreciate your understanding.
  
  Regards,
