On 8/13/22 I purchased 2 dinner cruise ticket/vouchers on the Groupon app for a total charge of $97.31. I have attached the email purchase confirmation from Groupon that I received on the day of purchase. The vouchers for the dinner cruise included a 2.5 hour cruise on the Patapsco River, dinner buffet with freshly prepared entrees, salads and desserts, unlimited coffee, hot tea and iced tea and DJ music. I checked my account on the afternoon around 12 pm on the day of the cruise and did not see the Groupon vouchers in my account. I reached out to Groupon and I was informed that the merchant redeemed my voucher before the time of the cruise. Also Groupon informed me that I only purchased one when the confirmation shows I purchased two vouchers. I reached out Groupon several times via chat as that is one of the only ways to communicate with the company regarding issues with orders. No resolve has been reached up to this time. I have attached 3 chat threads where I have reached out for assistance with my issue.Business Response

I purchased a Groupon to use for ***********************. I contacted them and scheduled a dive to use the Groupon 8/7/22. Two hours before the dive, I was contacted by *********************** saying that they were canceling the dive, and that I could either reschedule or get a refund. Because they already had redeemed the Groupon (!!!), it was up to me to contact Groupon for my money back. I first contacted Groupon 8/9/22. I clearly stated that because the company cancelled on me, by no fault of my own, that I wanted a refund. They took WEEKS to respond. They have no phone number for customer service. You are required to email or chat and wait ages for them to respond. When they finally got back to me, they said they could only offer me a credit. I stated numerous times via email that I would like a refund, due to this experience being out of my control. They have now not responded since 8/16/22. I want my money back!!!! Improve your horrible customer service, and dont do business with companies that will redeem your Groupon before you even use it!!!!Business Response

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me.However, judging by all of the complaints similar to mine, Groupon obviously needs to reevaluate how they provide customer service. It should not have taken weeks of emails and a BBB complaint for me to get my money back.

Groupon continues to sell certificates for massages at *************** although the merchant does not honor them. Groupon states that the allow up to 10 purchases of each offer, but the vendor only accepts one. Groupon does not give you the option of a refund to your credit card, but only Groupon bucks. Although they are aware that this merchant only honors one certificate, they continue to offer up to 10 purchases. It is a big scam. I insisted upon a full refund and the service agent agreed, but I did not get the full amount that I deserved. I received $49 credit and should have been credited $89.60.Business Response

On May 19th we were planning a trip to universal studios and my son (11 years old) bought three tickets for universal studios through Groupon in the amount of $597 accidentally as he was looking through the deals they had. I called my bank ***** fargo to dispute it as I did not authorize it as I was still looking for tickets. They said they filed a dispute so I went ahead and bought 4 tickets for universal studios through Groupon totaling $916. The next morning I received a message from *********** credit stating it was declined. Therefore I headed to universal studios website and bought 4 tickets totaling $916 as we were heading to universal studios that day. Later that evening I received a notification from *********** stating Groupon had processed the amount of $916. I did not need the tickets any longer as I had bought elsewhere yet I reached out to Groupon multiple times for both amounts. The first of $916 and the second (accidental charge by minor) in amount of 597. They refuse to refund me. If I am unable to use the tickets any longer I have no use for them and they will not refund me. I don't care about the tickets take them back I just want my money back. Never purchasing from this company again. I don't get how they refuse to refund purchase made by minor. Please help. I am so over it.Business Response

I am rejecting this response because:Hi there. I did not see the email sent to me on time. I have not reached a resolution with the merchant "groupon" . They referred me back to my bank and my financial institution stated the case is closed and finalized on their end therefore they referred me to work with the merchant for a resolution. I have been messaging with the manager there and they advised the case is still open. I'm not sure how the case was filed because everytime I call it says I'm disputing due to other payment method but it was due to an accidental purchase by a minor. I know it is out of the 7 days timeframe for me to reply but I really need a resolution and I'm just not getting one with Groupon.

I went on the Groupon app to search for discounts on fun activities for my children. I saw they had a discount to the Great Wolf lodge indoor water park for thr ******, ** location for a overnight stay and passes which were included in the price to the Waterpark. I booked and paid for the discounted special, but had to cancel my reservation because of a situation that occurred that would have prevented us from going and staying. After, checking the refund policy and requesting a refund via live chat, I was told via chat and email that someone would be in contact with me concerning this matter. That was weeks ago and still have not heard back from anyone or received a refund. I'm out almost $192.Business Response
