      I purchased a Groupon service that was advertised in my area and gifted it to my wife on 9/2/23. It was a house cleaning service for $161. I selected the option to deliver it to her on our anniversary eight days later. The day she received the email from Groupon, she noticed that they do not service our area, despite it being advertised in our area. Instead of Groupon refunding me, they informed me that they plan to keep my money and that I should gift the voucher to someone else in that could use it.

      The offered to give me credit so I would be forced to purchase from them again. I prefer to receive a refund to my credit card as I have requested since the beginning, not Groupon credits. The experience with Groupon does not leave me desiring to purchase anything from them again in the future. I replied to them last week requesting a refund and they have not responded to me.

      On May 27, 2021, I purchased a coupon for the ******* ************** for $44.72 (item #**********; Groupon #VS-N6B2-2G9Y-2VWN-Z9S6; Redemption Code - EYJVACTG). I called numerous time to make an appointment but never got an answer or return call. I didn't worry about it because Groupon has always at least given a credit if a deal does not work out. They said you never lose the amount paid. On October 16th I contacted Groupon and requested the credit. **************** responded that a refund or credit were not available.

      Order **********, Purchased on on Feb 16, 2023 for $62 for a massage. Groupon stated they will refund me the purchase, if the merchant will email me stating I did NOT use the Groupon and then forward the email to Groupon. I explaiend, I spoke with ********* who works at the massage place and she confirmed I did NOT use the Groupon. She stated Groupon will contact her in matters like this and she will then inform them I did NOT use the Groupon. I explained to her, Groupon told me to tell you to email me and then I forward it to them and she stated no she will not do that because she has been working with Groupon for years and the policy is that they will contact her and she will tell them it was not used for a refund. I am stuck in the MIDDLE and neither party will reach our to the other. and The merchant has clearly stated I did NOT use the groupon and I just want my money back thats it. This is not fair.

      I purchased 4 Groupon vouchers. One for $75 in which the merchant never got back to me on rescheduling after she canceled. I kept texting her on when we can reschedule and she texted me the night it expires. This has been going on for weeks. In the photo included are the texts from her where she is denying me service. I have also been contacting Groupon and they stated that since B.E. Therapy has 23 successful transactions they will not do anything and will not look at the evidence where the merchant said they would deny me service. On the $445 Groupon the description changed after purchase and on the listing there is no description on the time and the services offered. I have included screenshots of the description that clearly shows no details on the service and length of service.On the 2 $252 purchases it is by the same merchant who was not clear on the services. I clicked on redeem tonight with these 2 along with the above $445 to extend the wait time to get assistance.

      I am rejecting this response because:
      The case against Groupon needs to be reopened. There is an issue with the reply option on the BBB site. The control panel in the BBB site does not give me the option to reply in the dash, it only shows the reply from the company. I have sent many replies to Groupon directly, sending them the proof they requested showing I never received service from the 2 businesses. They only want to send me a credit instead of a refund to my Paypal even though I contacted them early on to request a refund. Please help me contact the right person in Groupon so that they can authorize a refund for the 4 services I never received.

      Hi I purchased a mani pedi bundle from groupon. I broke my leg and couldn't use it for a while which is ok because my groupon didn't expire yet (i had 1 more week to get my service done before it expired). my cast came off last week and i was trying to schedule an appointment with the vendor yet he can't be reached. on the groupon there's a salon's number and they do answer there but I was told that the person schedules appointment on their own and they are not a part of the salon. yet this person doesn't answer the phone and doesn't confirm appointments . He answered occasionally in texts but i was unable to make an appointment with him. I also called at least 10 times . I dont think its fair to beg a vendor to give me service.

      This business owes me for one of my transactions. The cost was $158.35. Im unsure which order number it is. I purchased two rooms on the same date. GROUPON made a mistake with one of the rooms and ultimately refunded me for one room. I was unable to rebook the same date since there were no rooms left. I requested a refund or date change for my other reservation so that my family could have our planned trip. Groupon failed to respond to me in over 8 business days. I kept reaching out. Now they want proof I didnt attend from the Great Wolf Lodge but the Great Wolf Lodge needs GROUPON to request this. All of this information has been shared between both parties. This has taken over 2 weeks and I still dont have a refund.

      Regarding your complaint:  I'm sorry to hear that you're unable to redeem the Groupon as planned.
       
      I checked and see that our Internal Team has reached the hotel on your behalf and the hotel denied the refund as "NO SHOW". In this case, we are unable to cancel and refund this reservation. 

      When the reservation has crossed the cancellation deadline, we can refund only with the hotel approval. In this case, since the hotel denied the refund, we're unable to help you from our end.

      While I understand that you are not satisfied with the previous replies you've received, we have done our best to assist you and have provided you with the best solution available in this circumstance. I am happy to answer any questions you may have regarding other purchases. However, I am not able to assist any further with your particular request and we consider this issue resolved.

      Complaint: 20850062

      I am rejecting this response because: the reason it was a no show is because Groupon made a mistake on my original order and I requested this room to be cancelled or changed through Groupon and didnt receive a response. Those emails were sent prior to my arrival date. I have over 60 emails with Groupon regarding this and I can provide all of them if needed. I want the money I spent back. I have email proof of Groupon admitting fault on my original purchases as well. 

      Sincerely,

      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'm sorry for the trouble with this purchase. 

      As we informed you earlier, we're unable to cancel and refund this reservation since the cancellation deadline, check-in and check-out has passed. Also, when we reached out to the hotel for an exception, the refund was denied stating as "No-Show". 

      I'm sorry that we're unable to refund this reservation in this case. However, I've issued an additional Groupon Bucks for $20 making the total refund as $70. 

      This is the maximum we can do from our end when the refund was denied by the hotel.
       
      I am happy to answer any questions you may have regarding other purchases, but at this point, there is nothing more we can do regarding this specific request.
       
      Thank you for your understanding.
       
      Regards,

      Complaint: 20850062

      I am rejecting this response because:

      I have over 60 emails with Groupon and its obvious they have not all been read. When I initially made the purchase I purchased two rooms for the same exact date. Groupon made a mistake with one of the rooms, which they admitted to and refunded me the money. I was unable to rebook the room at this time because there were no available rooms. I emailed Groupon several times prior to the arrival date to have them cancel or switch the other reservation since we were no longer able to attend due to Groupon making a mistake and there not being available rooms. I have email proof for all of this. This is unacceptable. 

      Sincerely,

      *************************

      I bought a service to replace brake pads on my car. As per Groupon's instructions, I contacted the vendor and made an appointment to bring my car in. The earliest they could schedule me was 11/7/22, at which point they told me my car did not need the brake pads replaced. In essence, I was ineligible for the service I had purchased.I then requested a refund from Groupon, which they refuse to issue to my credit card because they allege this refund was requested after their three day "grace ******** so they want to give me Groupon tokens and force me to spend my money on things I don't need! I followed their rules and instructions and this is where it got me.In a nut shell: I bought a service; the service was not provided and I want my money back. I did everything according to their instructions and now they refuse to refund my money. I was ineligible for the service I purchased and according to their rules, that alone is a reason to get a refund. They knew full well it would take more than three days to get to the vendor, and now they're using this as an excuse to refuse my refund!

       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'm sorry to hear that you're unable to redeem the Groupon as planned.
       
      As we all informed you earlier by our support team that this Groupon is not eligible for a refund to the card since this is outside the 3-days cancellation window. 

      However, I do understand that your car doesn't need the service right now. Given the circumstances, I want to make sure youre taken care of.

      I've gone ahead and issued a full refund to your original form of payment and removed this Groupon from your account. 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.
       
      Let me know if there's anything else I can do for you. Thank you for your understanding.

      Hello Vishal,
       
      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'm sorry to hear that you're unable to redeem the second Groupon as planned due to fine print restrictions. 

      I checked and see that the second Groupon was canceled and refunded to you as Groupon Bucks on 11/09/2023. 

      I can see that you used a promo code for an additional discount. Excluding the promotional discount, what you paid to Groupon is fully refunded.
       
      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.
