Purchased a Groupon for $76.99 for an oil change (25% off original price for oil change) but when the Groupon was scanned it only took off $23 (or the 25%) instead of the $76.99 I paid to Groupon for the oil change. I paid $76.99 to Groupon and $76.99 at the merchant despite scanning the Groupon voucher. The Groupon did not apply correctly when scanned.Business Response

I have tried to address my concern with Groupon, and they have failed to assist me with my concern. I purchased a Groupon to an event and was unable to attend the event due to being turned away at the door. The venue was not allowing certain handbag sizes and was telling customers to place their bags outside near a trash can to be able to enter. I had arrived by uber and was not able to take my handbag back to a vehicle and informed the business of this. I told Groupon that I was unable to attend the event due to this and requested a refund. Groupon has refused to refund my money which has cause me to file this complaint. Groupon was aware that this complaint would be filed and has failed to give me the requested refund.Business Response

I booked a hotel reservation through Groupon. This was mistakenly double booked and charges through by them. They further used a partner (Expedia) to complete this reservation. When attempting to contact them, they do not have a customer service contact to be able to cancel and refund the duplicate charge. Expedia was given a phantom non existent number and email address.Business Response

I am rejecting this response because:I was charged $700 for services that were not used. Groupon declined my initial booking and duplicated the charge without authorization or consent. A company shouldnt be able to commit fraudulent charges. Beyond that, they provided Expedia false contact information so that the customer has no ability for recourse.

Regarding your complaint: I apologzie for the trouble with this purchase.
As I mentioned earlier, the cancellation deadline, check-in and check-out has passed. In this case, this reservation can't be refunded from our end without the hotel approval.
However, if you've spoken with someone at the hotel who has approved an exception to their refund policy, please reply with the name and title of the manager you spoke with, and we can reach out on your behalf. If the hotel can help you with the email, please forward the email to us and we will take care of this issue.
With this information, I'll be able to look into the issue further. Thank you for your understanding.

Hi Deepa:I responded to this by email to this as well. The manager at the hotel is ***. The refund prior to the check in/ check out time couldnt be fulfilled because after spending 3 hours attempting to contact Groupon via Expedia & other resources, it was determined that Groupon does not provide legitimate contact information or customer support information. Hence the need for a claim via BBB. I provided the contact number in my email to you.

I booked a vacation rental service through Groupon, but for some unknown reason, I was charged the same amount twice at the same time. I immediately contacted Groupon customer service, and the automated response said they would investigate. Four to five days later, they informed me that a third-party vacation rental would deduct a $100 fine and then refund it to me. I also contacted the vacation rental, and they stated that they wouldn't impose any fines. I find it unacceptable that Groupon's system error is causing me to be fined. However, my emails to them have gone unanswered, they don't have a customer service phone number, and the online support asks me to contact the third-party vacation rental. Yet, the vacation rental says that since I purchased the service through Groupon, only Groupon has the authority to request proof for a refund. However, Groupon claims they cannot issue a refund, and the customer service repeatedly terminates the conversation.Subsequently, the customer service terminates the chat as soon as they see the refund issue. Please assist me in obtaining this refund; it's not my fault, and the service attitude of the merchant is extremely poor! To review their service, I can not send a one-star negative review; the system fails with any lower rating, and only a five-star positive review can be submitted.Business Response

I can confirm that our system processed your refund successfully on 11/17/2023. You should have received an email confirmation shortly after this refund was issued. If you're not seeing it, I recommend checking your spam folder to make sure our emails aren't ending up there. Please note:
Refunds issued to a credit or debit card appear as a refund from Groupon, Inc. Please note that it can take your bank a few days to route the funds correctly and post them to your account. If it's been longer than 10 business days, you'll need to check with the claims department of your bank directly.
If your refund was processed to an alternative form of payment, such as Apple *********** Pay, or PayPal, and it's been longer than 10 business days since the refund was issued, please contact your payment processor to check on its status.

We purchased a voucher for a local bowling establishment. I took my wife and two children on November 11 at 3:30pm to the establishment and we were rudely turned away and faced with vulgar attacks and discrimination from the staff there. I reached out to Groupon but their solution is for us to go back at another date. I will not take my family to an establishment where my 5 and 6 year old have already been berated and belittled by the staff nor does our schedule permit us to use the voucher on any other dates than when we went on November 11. I clearly explained this to Groupon but they outsource all of their customer service and no resolution was reached.Business Response

I bought a coupon for a facial service of $165.20. At the date of the appointment the business refused to provide service saying that it was 1 per person per year and that I should request a refund to Groupon. I requested Groupon to either a refund or some "credit points" to apply to another service but they said that it has been my fault to buy it incorrectly and that I should have requested the refund just 3 days after the purchased.??? (I just did not even know that it was wrongly purchased...) The business is still open and operating ....so Groupon could claw back the amount.I offered to be discounted a % for Groupon from the value of the coupon but they are keeping it all.This is not the law. I paid to the facial business for a service thru Groupon. The Business did not performed...and told me to claim the refund to Groupon which seems ok since I paid Groupon in the first place. Groupon does not refund anything.I had never had an intermediary business retained a wrong payment in Full in the USA.My intention is that this practice be known to stop it.Groupon should have a clear policy that on these cases they retain a % but refund the rest, which I would take ok.I will try to request the credit card company to refund it but I think it is unlikely.Thank you for your attention,***************** ************ *************Business Response

11/7/23, I was trying to order a Groupon for Lux laser. It was $399. I used $6.29 of my Groupon bucks towards one of the charges since they charged me twice for the same order. So one was ****** the other was 399. When trying to purchase it stated it didn't go through and to try again. I did and it went through. They then without permission later charged for the original order. I was not notified of this plan to later charge when payment failed, only later by email. I did not okay a 9:34pm transaction and I definitely did not okay 2. Every time I contact them they give me the "3 day cooling off period" which does not apply to me. I thought I purchased one and only noticed when I went to schedule and checked my CC statement to confirm. So basically the $399 charge is fraudulent. It also states on the Groupon first thing you can only use if not a customer in the past 12 months and it expires within ***** so a second shouldn't even be allowed to be purchased. I do want the SINGLE groupon I can actually use that was $393.71 with my Groupon bucks only. Problem reported to Groupon when noticed 11/14/23. Also note was very difficult contacting Groupon. Numbers on their own site don't work and the number provided to my credit company is fake. That's a problem.Business Response
