I purchased a "gift" voucher on Groupon for ***** Club membership for $25 on May 13th 2025. My brother went to redeem the voucher AT the ***** Club store in ***********. Where he was told it is not redeemable due to Groupon not supplying proper info. I have been trying to get my money BACK from Groupon and all they keep giving me are excuses that they are INVESTIGATING the issue. All I want is a refund and Groupon is stalling hoping I let the matter go keeping my money.Business Response

I had a disappointing experience with Burhani Laser Med Spa. I found that they allow unlicensed individuals to perform medical procedures. On June 18, 2025, I saw a Groupon for Ultherapy and scheduled an appointment for June 20. They requested I send a screenshot of the Groupon price, which I did. When I arrived, ****** Le-Plumber, known as Umi Le, who claimed to be an RN, and was the only person in the building. However, I later discovered she is not a licensed nurse and only holds a certification for Laser Hair.****** immediately began upselling additional treatments, despite my insistence that I was only there for Ultherapy. She suggested HIFU as an alternative, and made contradictory statements about it being similar to Ultherapy, which I knew was not true. I left after being there for only five minutes, she then demanded a $35 consultation fee despite no consultation having *********** I walked out, I realized the door was locked, and she insisted I pay. When I refused, she threatened to call the police. I eventually left, only to receive harassing phone calls from ****** and a text message demanding the fee, claiming a police report would be filed if I didn't pay. She even had the nerve to utilize a service to acquire my address and to send harassing messages to my husband. This behavior is harassment and an invasion of privacy. The fact that medical procedures are being performed by unlicensed individuals is alarming. This business operates with a reckless disregard for the safety of its clients. This complaint emphasizes issues of integrity, a lack of medical regulatory oversight, and deeply flawed business practices. I am requesting that I receive no further communication from Burhani Laser Medical Spa.Customer Answer

I purchased a groupon for **************** at AJ Carriage and Livery.2 days after my purchase, I decided that I would request a refund as I was no longer interested in using this business as they have really bad reviews. When I went to request my refund within the allow time on groupon, it was showing as redeemed. After further research within an hour of purchasing the groupon, it was marked as redeemed, although I never contacted the business to attempt to redeem the groupon.Groupon is refusing to refund me my money and wants me to talk to the merchant who is clearly defrauding customers so why would that be a solution to put your customer in direct line with a *********** they have my personal information.He did this to my sister as we purchased the same day.Business Response

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 **************************. I apologize for the trouble.
Regarding your complaint: I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and concern this situation has caused you. We understand how frustrating it can be when expectations arent met, and we appreciate your patience while we reviewed your request.
Id like to inform you that your case was escalated to our Resolution Team, who reached out directly to the ********, ** Carriage and Livery, for further clarification. According to the merchant, a reservation was made under your name, but you did not show up for the scheduled appointment. Based on this, the merchant declined the refund request but stated they are willing to reschedule the appointment. Theyve asked that you contact them directly to arrange a new time.
Because the voucher has been marked as "redeemed", Groupon is unable to process a refund without the merchants confirmation. Once a voucher is marked redeemed, the payment is transferred to the merchant, and further action must come from their end.
While we are limited in our ability to override the redemption status, we encourage you to take up the merchants offer to reschedule. We understand this may not be the resolution you were hoping for, but we do hope it allows you the opportunity to still enjoy the service you purchased.
If you need any help connecting with the merchant or require additional support, please dont hesitate to reach out.

I am rejecting this response because i did not redeem his voucher. I have never contacted the merchant and Groupon. Cannot provide me with proof of how when what? Where and who redeemed this voucher.Had this voucher not been fraudulently marked as redeemed, I would already have my money back.
Groupon has offered me Groupon books which I have refused. I am requesting a refund of my money which I requested within the allow timeframe per groupon's three day refund policy. :

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 **************************. I apologize for the trouble.
Regarding your complaint: Im truly sorry for the frustration this situation has caused and appreciate the opportunity to assist you.
Weve investigated the issue with the merchant, and Im happy to inform you that they are willing to honor the service. We kindly request that you contact the merchant directly to reschedule your appointment at your convenience.
If, for any reason, the merchant is unable or unwilling to provide the service, please request written confirmation from them, and we will step in to help you further from there.
Alternatively, if you no longer wish to use the service, we previously offered Groupon credits as a gesture of goodwill. Unfortunately, we are unable to process a refund to original form of paymen/credit card as the voucher is marked as "redeemed", the amount paid towards Groupon voucher will be credited to merchant's account, so we will not be able to make a refund without their approval. I request your understanding in this matter.
Given the circumstances that led to your request, Im happy to proceed with issuing a full refund in Groupon credits. These credits are easy to use on **************************, and they will remain valid for 180 days.
Many of our most popular deals return frequently, so theres a good chance youll find something similar again soon.
If youd like me to apply the credit to your account, simply reply to this email and Ill take care of it for you.
Thank you again for your understanding, and please let us know how youd like to proceed.

On 6/18/25 I purchased a wax session. But its misleading information, ************** phishing scheme, all positive reviews that give no name for example, she did a great job, there is a business that goes by ***************** on Groupon then afterwards when it says go to website, the name changes to Brare beauty. You pay through Groupon, which we can't contact either or report the fake/fraudulent business, there are no phone numbers, or emails. Since there was no phone number to call, I decided to go since I am familiar with the area, I went to the address given by Groupon and it's a ********** not a salon, I have photos to prove it, then on the side of the building there is another salon and then when you call that number, they'll tell you they can do the same service and theyll match the price, this is a SCAM and I would also like to report them to the BBB, since Groupon is another one without a phone number, email or no contact information. I will be disputing it with my credit card as well. This business is a FRAUD! Groupon should be held accountable and liable for any and all frauds. The address given is ****************************************************************, but there is only a ********** When you enter the website, no contact number, only to fill out your information and then someone will contact you through email, but no one contacts you ever. I paid $36.85 that I would like a refund. And I would like to make a complaint against Groupon, they are not verifying business and can't report anything either. Thank you.Business Response

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and really don't want to proceed any further, I know I've done everything in my end that is honest and correct, but Groupon should really make their website more clear, easy to follow, and real humans for customer service, because right now it's non existent, also it helps to really investigate thoroughly businesses, too much fraud nowadays. I had to work through my end with my bank, and get a new credit card, had to dispute the charges, make phone calls and wait, it was a lot on my end due to Groupon's negligence, and the phony business in question.

I purchased a Groupon for an oil change with this company. Prior to purchasing I contacted them and asked are they able to change the oil on my type of vehicle. They advised yes and said i would have to pay additional outside of what i paid Groupon due to my car having 6qts and needing an oil filter. I agreed and moved forward. During the appt time i was not available and sent my mother who was with her sister and nephew to take care of it for me. Upon completing the oil change which was also supposed to come with a free tire rotation that never took place, my mother stated the oil light popped up again as she was driving away. Against her better judgement she drove off due to having another appt. She called the number on the receipt from the addtl charges and did not get an answer. She was then told by someone that it had to be cut off with a computer due to the type of car it is. Upon my arrival home she let me know what took place. I work two jobs so i was not able to quickly go and get it cut off. I contacted a local mechanic shop and inquired if they can cut it off they said yes. Upon cutting it off, i started the car and it came back on. I then asked can he check car. He checked the oil and it was 0 oil in my car. ZERO! I contacted this company who told me to bring my car and they will let me know when to pick it up since they were closing. I declined. He told me to come the next day. I went the next day and this man was OFF. He left his receptionist to lie to me and say my car had an oil leak. I then took my car back to the same mechanic shop to get it checked again, he advised me my car had no oil leak. I contacted Groupon who stated they contacted this company and they lied and said they changed it. This company is fraud. Upon reading further into their comments on Groupon i seen another customer with the same issues. The company replied and stated they can come in and view cameras to prove they changed it. Upon my request to review cameras i was denied.Business Response

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 and sharing your concerns. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and frustration this situation has caused you.
Please note that we have already escalated this issue and the merchant has confirmed that the oil change service was provided. Given that the service was completed and you left the location afterward, the situation regarding the oil level cannot be independently verified beyond your account.
As per the deal terms, the merchant is solely responsible for the care and quality of the goods and services advertised. Because this issue concerns the service after it was performed, we are unable to directly assist further in this matter as the Groupon was successfully redeemed.
However, as a gesture of goodwill for the inconvenience you experienced, we will issue a $10 Groupon credit to your account, valid for 180 days.
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. If you have any other questions or need assistance with a different matter, please feel free to contact us.

I bought a Groupon from ***************** w/ a Redemption code ******** that expires 8/4/25. The Groupon states that the service I purchased is "one hair cut, one conditioning treatment and one style." Upon contacting the merchant via text, the provider is stating that I must pay an upcharge of $10 for the style. I explained that the Groupon includes a style, but the merchant told me to refund the groupon and visit another salon. I have my text message conversation as proof and have been trying to get my group refunded ever since. The merchant should not be charging extra for an included style.Business Response

I am the owner of a small business, ******************************************** located in **. I have been in the process of closing the business down and have attempted to remove advertisements and deals with Groupon. I have been unable to extract myself from my association with Groupon. There are no instructions that I could find on their app for merchants or online. I just received and email today from someone who purchased a Groupon for my business. I need this to stop but cannot get in touch with anyone. I have checked online and many other people have the same problem of getting away from Groupon as me. I do not know if there is any money involved. I have had very little interest from Groupon's deals.Business Response
