      On March 26, 2023, I purchased a tour voucher from Groupon for Grand Tours Around Island for the amount of $446.40. I redeemed the voucher on March 27, 2023 and scheduled my tour for April 5, 2023. During the tour, we found that the details of the tour were falsely stated on Groupon's website and the company's website which Groupon links to in their listing.The following is what is fraudulently advertised:-Some of the stops listed on the website and in the video are different on the actual tour and we did not stop at 16 locations as advertised. We simply drove by many of them. We skipped a lot of the beaches which was the primary reason we took the tour.-The photo of the Halona blowhole on the website is greatly exaggerated. In reality, its a slight mist that comes up and nothing like the video and photos shown. -Many of the stops were just stops at gift shops. We did not get to actually see anything at the location. They dumped us at the gift shop and we had only a few minutes to look around before we had to be back on the bus.-The beach to snorkel was the dirtiest beach we visited all day. We were unable to snorkel because the water was so cold and dirty that it was impossible to enjoy.-The site states that there is free WiFi and phone chargers to use in the bus. This is not true. There were no WiFi or chargers on the bus.I immediately followed up with Groupon about this. I requested a refund and suggested they work with the tour operator to put a more accurate description of the tour on their website. Groupon responded, apologized and issued $89.20 in Groupon bucks. I replied that this was not acceptable as I spent cash and did not want Groupon bucks back. They were not willing to work with me any further to find a resolution. I believe that I am due back some of the money as a credit to my credit card (not Groupon bucks) since the tour details were inaccurate. It was an extremely disappointing day for me and my family, and wasted a day of our vacation.

      Complaint: 20233918

      I am rejecting this response because: it does not resolve my issue. As previously mentioned, I paid for $446.40 for this tour and received $89.20 in Groupon Bucks back. Since I did not use Groupon Bucks for the purchase, I am not sure why Groupon feels that it is acceptable to give me Groupon Bucks back. I would like to receive the refund in my original form of payment. Please see also attached the receipt for purchase showing a credit card was used as well as a clear description of what was advertised vs what was received. Clearly, the tour was not as advertised so I feel I should receive some form of refund in my original method of payment.

      Sincerely,

      Glorious *********

      I used groupon to book my room for a sleepover for my child. I arrive at the hotel a week later to find out that my room was sold the day before and not only that but there was no suites available and told that I was sold a non existent room. I contact the chat to see about accommodation which dwindled down to no avail and i asked for a refund to then receive no response. I try again the next day and am told its nonrefundable now . I then ask to escalate the issue and was told i would be answered back within a week via email which is absurd since they supposedly were able to call the hotel on my behalf the same day as told in the chat i have and what is there to investigate from there if its verifiable that there was no room and no replacement .

      Purchase made 4/1/2023 for $366.99. Requested refund and 5/9/2023 but was told I needed proof from merchant that services were not received which I did. Was told on 5/10 that the refund would be completed in ***** hrs. After the 48 hrs passed I followed up again only to be told that now a $100 deposit would be deducted from reimbursement amount but still no refund was given. On 6/13 a transaction posted to my credit card for $100 which was incorrect as based on what I was told that would be the amount reduced! On 6/20, when again following up, I was told this: As per our records, the refund was issued in two options. First order was issued on 06/04/2023 for the amount $266.99 and second one was issued 6/13/2023 for $100. And I still only see the $100 refund! I was advised I needed to reach out to ApplePay for resolution however I never paid with that method.

      I purchased a Groupon for an air duct cleaning. I attempted to use the service and learned that the merchant did not service my location because it was in a different state. I chatted with a Groupon agent to get a refund/credit and was unsuccessful. I attempted again today to get a Groupon credit and I was asked if I read the fine print. Groupon makes it difficult to get a refund or credit. I want a credit.

      On Saturday, June 24th, 2023, I purchased 5 tickets to a Big Bus Tour for *************. When processing my request, the website was glitching and the page just kept loading. After it finally completed, it had processed my order two different times and charged me $330.72 twice. I reached out to Groupon via the chat and they stated that they could not refund anything because the fine print read that all sales were final. I stated that I read the fine print and knew that, but it was not my fault that their website glitched and processed it two separate times. I did NOT order it twice. I am not asking for both orders to be refunded, just the extra one that was processed when the website malfunctioned.

      On Groupon I ordered a service for $62.50. I had set an appointment with the vendor on 4/3/23 to redeem my purchase. The vendor ( ***********************************) did not show up for the appointment. I have called, texted and emailed this vendor without a response. I reported this purchase to my credit card company as fraudulent. The credit card company stated purchase was valid, and their decision sent to Groupon AND myself on 4/14/23.I have asked for a refund or credit from Groupon multiple times. Groupon says the case is open and they cannot help me. I have documentation that its been resolved. I have also forwarded it to Groupon. They (Groupon) is refusing to cooperate, stating case is open.Ive contacted several managers at Groupon and they continue to not respond to my ongoing requests.Thank you for you assistance.************

      My Groupon account was compromised so I can no longer access it which means I cant get to any vouchers I purchased or any history. Customer support acknowledges the purchase and were the ones to tell me my account was taken over by someone else. I was able to send them my original order confirmation for my last purchase. I have exchanged ******************************************************************** a credit.

      Why cant Groupon tell me the terms Ive violated? I believe theyre lying about this because they have failed to tell me what terms I violated and why is my account closed?

      Complaint: 20227948

      I am rejecting this response because: I was never given a reason why my account was closed unexpectedly without notice and also I was never told what terms I violated on my account because I believe I do not violate anything. If I did then why cant Groupon tell me what I did to violate the terms? I do not believe them and I want my money back.

      Sincerely,

      I purchased a second voucher for a service, but was unable to receive my services. I scheduled an appointment and on the day of my appointment the owner reached out by text to cancel. I responded with the dates that I would be available that week and they never responded. I called and left two voicemails, no response. I sent two emails and also received no response. I sent a message to their ******** page and was advised to call the business. I called and there was no answer. I advised Groupon of this and even sent the screenshots. Groupon stated that it was redeemed and I had to get proof from the business that is not responding to me. Groupon stated that they will try to investigate. I contacted my financial institution to file a dispute and Groupon was dishonest and advised that I redeemed the certificate. I reached back out to Groupon and they told me I should have came to them before I filed a dispute. However, I did report this to them. I just want to be refunded for the purchase of $40 because the company is giving me the run around. Thank you.

      Hello Tineal,
       
      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'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.
       
      Thank you for your understanding.
