      I purchased two Nickelodeon Park tickets for February 16 through Groupon. While I received an order confirmation email from Groupon, the purchase never appeared in my account. I contacted ********************** customer service immediately, who suggested clearing my browser cache and trying different browsers. Despite following all their troubleshooting steps, the issue persisted. Groupon then escalated my case and promised I would receive a *********** has now been three days without any follow-up from Groupon. I am requesting a full refund because:1. The tickets were for same-day use on February 16 2. I was unable to access the tickets due to technical issues with Groupon's platform 3. I was forced to purchase additional tickets directly from the park Since the intended date has now passed, these tickets can no longer be used.

      I purchased a groupon for 2 hours of bowling with shoe rental for $45. I was charged $90 and given 2 of the same groupon. I only approved the purchase of 1.

      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 your patience as weve worked to resolve your concern. After reviewing your case, we want to confirm that our team previously provided clarification that the charge you received was for two separate orders, rather than a double charge for a single order. While we understand that this was not your intended purchase, we made an exception and issued a refund in Groupon Bucks as a gesture of goodwill.

      As previously mentioned, this is a non-refundable purchase, and we are unfortunately unable to offer any further resolution beyond what has already been provided. We genuinely value your business and appreciate your understanding in this matter.

      Should you have any other questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out.

      Thank you for your understanding.

      I purchased several groupons on 11/26/24 during black friday sales. Due to several purchases I don't even know the exact amount I paid for the specific groupon. I only know the total amount charged by groupon. The specific groupon I have an issue with was a $50 egift card for a local restaurant. I redeemed the egift card through synergy as instructed and printed out the egift card. I went into the restaurant to eat on 2/2/24 but before ordering I asked if using the egift card would be a problem.( I saw that someone on groupon stated they couldn't use theirs) the waitress stated they could not take the egift card and had no way of "inputting it'"She apologized and stated they asked groupon to "take them off whatever list" I didn't push any further as I thought it would not be an issue to get a refund since the business was clearly rejecting it's use. I have since gone back and forth with groupon via email since it is impossible to speak to a person. I also asked them to call me, which they stated they would but didn't . The merchant was also contacted, I was told by groupon the merchant would call to assist me, they didn't. I don't understand how they could assist me when I paid groupon, not the merchant. It has been weeks now, no further attempts have been made to resolve this. I just sent another email today telling them I would report this unacceptable customer service. I don't know how to ask my bank to dispute the charge since the majority of the charge is valid and groupon services were used. Only the $50 egift card was refused. I just want my money back for a service that was never provided and even worse, REFUSED.

      I am rejecting this response because: Groupon is still stating they will reach out to the merchant about the egift card. How many more times am I going to be told this? They stated they went over the details and correspondence thus far. They should know this has gotten us nowhere. I've been told this at least three times now. I have been patient and want a resolution.

      I purchased a Groupon on November 20th for a massage with Zensory Haven. I immediately tried to book an appointment but no answer. They responded via text and when I responded via text they disappeared. I tried to contact the merchant for 2 months. I reached out to Groupon to get a refund and they told me to try contacting the merchant again. So I did that. The merchant called back and left a voicemail saying to text them all my info. I did that and they've never responded again. This has now been nearly 3 months just trying to book one appointment. I contacted Groupon today demanding a credit card refund (my original payment method). I was told they'll escalate it and get back to me. I told them I had already went through this so they told me I'd have a refund in 24 hours. They sent me a link via email to click on for my refund and my only option was GROUPON BUCKS which is credit on their website. They claimed that is how I paid for my Groupon (I did not, I paid with a credit card). I reached back out demanding to receive a credit card refund and I got another email link. I clicked on it and this time it had an option 'Credit Card Refund +10%' so I clicked on that. And then I received GROUPON BUCKS instead. There is no phone number or email to contact Groupon. You have to sit on a chat bot. I want my refund to my credit card. Groupon has not vetted their merchants appropriately nor do they compensate customers for lost funds. I uploaded proof of my credit card payment for this Groupon.

      Regarding your complaint: Thank you for your patience as we worked to resolve your issue. I want to address the confusion regarding your refund.

      As we explained previously, the option to receive a credit card refund is available, and the 10% additional Groupon Bucks is only provided when selecting the Groupon Bucks option for your refund. I understand there was some misunderstanding regarding this, and I sincerely apologize for any confusion caused.

      Weve now fully refunded your original payment back to your credit card as requested. Please note that no additional Groupon Bucks will be issued, as the option for extra credits applies only when choosing that method of refund.

      We value your feedback and are sorry for the inconvenience you've experienced with both the merchant and our team. If you have any further questions or concerns, please dont hesitate to reach out.

      I tried on 2/17/25 to buy Sea world tickets on Groupon. I wanted 5 tickets. I used my Credit card and got a message that the payment was declined and to use another form of payment. I then used Apple Pay and it said it was successful. Then I looked at my Groupons and it charged both the credit card and Apple Pay. I immediately called Groupon on 2/17/25 immediately when I saw that 10 tickets were purchased instead of 5. They offered me a Groupon credit I said no I want a REFUND. It was a scam on Groupons part. They made me use 2 forms of payment and charged both. There is no phone support. All through chat they said a supervisor would contact me. I had to contact again because no one contacted within the time frame. The second chat *** said he would escalate to supervisor and I should be getting refund. I have a screenshot of this conversation. Finally a supervisor emailed me and they asked for screenshot of the payment being declined which I didnt have but sent them a screenshot of cart with only 5 tickets. They wrote back that it was too bad they wont refund and I should sell them to someone !!!!!! Scam !!!!!

      Regarding your complaint: I understand your frustration and sincerely apologize for the confusion and inconvenience you've experienced. Upon reviewing your case, we were unable to identify any issues with the payments on either of your orders. Since we couldnt verify the payment decline message you mentioned, it seems that two separate orders were placed.

      As this sale is non-refundable, we are unable to cancel the order. However, as a gesture of goodwill, we have offered the full purchase price to your Groupon account as credits, which you can use for future purchases.

      We appreciate your understanding and are here to assist if you have any further questions or concerns. If there's anything else we can do for you, please let us know.

      I purchased a Groupon for *************************** on 02/17/2025. When it came time to use the voucher at the ************, it malfunctioned, making it completely unusable and causing me to have to make an emergency ticket purchase at the ***************************. I have video screen recording of the ticket not opening/working on the Groupon site for over 10 minutes when trying to open it online on several different browsers, phones, and the Groupon app, causing me great inconvienence, and this is at the fault of no one except Groupon. I contacted them and asked for a refund immediately, but they told me it was non-refundable. It is not fair to have customers pay for a service and not give a refund when you fail to provide that service.

      I am rejecting this response because:
      I did not receive a refund which is what I asked for in my first email to Groupon, but instead received unwanted Groupon bucks. The system error for the voucher was at fault of Groupon, and if a voucher is not to work due to this, the customer should receive a full refund per *********************** terms and conditions. I will not be using Groupon ever again, and would like the refund that Ive requested or I will have to chargeback the purchase on my credit card.

      Thank you for reaching out through the Better Business Bureau. Ive reviewed your recent comment and all internal Groupon correspondence, and Ive also sent a detailed response via email.

      Regarding your request, I understand how frustrating this situation has been for you. While this deal is normally non-refundable and not eligible for a refund to the original payment method, we went beyond our usual policy to help you with your preferred resolution. We value customers like you and strive to provide exceptional service, which is why *** made a one-time exception to process a refund to your original form of payment. You should see the amount reflected within 2-10 business days, depending on your banks processing time.

      I sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this has caused and truly appreciate your understanding. We hope your next experience with Groupon will be a positive one.

      This company is not serving to the best standard. The customer service support chat is inoperable, it promises 24/7 support that it doesn't deliver, phone support redirects you online, email support redirects you to FAQ's, FAQ's redirects you back to submitting an email with an explanation of the issue. The website doesn't allow merchants to update their information easily, it doesn't provide explanations as to why ** ********* might be rejected. I mean, if we want to give them award for the bare minimum, by all means. but this is entirely frustrating and impeding to normal business operations.

      I purchased 3 Groupons to ****************, but when visiting this establishment I found the name to be slightly different and then found this business is not in *******. I think it is located in ** but have not been able to reach Groupon nor the vendor; and I have tried reaching the Vendor, whom possibly does not exist. I just want my money back, I cannot use the Groupons

      Through the Groupon app I purchased a deal in December 2024. Air Duct Clean Squads deal was $29 for $295 worth of services. I paid the $29. Via text to me the duct cleaners owner(?) wrote: the package includes unlimited supply (heat) vents. Also 1 return vent is included. My home has two return vents (cold air). Immediately upon completing the purchase I was in touch with the owner trying to determine what the additional charge would be for the second air vent. In a phone conversation on January 6, 2025, he informed me it would be $375 EXTRA for the ONE additional return vent. I have spoken with Groupon about this quite apparent scam on the phone a five-six weeks ago. They said they would look into it and email me their findings. Groupon never sent an email 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 **************************.

      Regarding your complaint: Firstly, I sincerely apologize for any inconvenience youve faced in this process, especially with the lack of communication about the additional charges for your second return vent. Its crucial for us that your experience is positive, and I'm sorry for the frustration this must have caused you.

      Upon reviewing your case, I see that our team responded to your inquiry via email on January 21, 2025. It seems possible that this email could have been redirected to your spam or junk folder, so please take a moment to check there. To prevent such issues in the future, I recommend adding our email to your safe-sender list or whitelist.

      Our team contacted the merchant for further clarification. They informed us that they were not informed about the voucher at the time of your request. As a result, they proceeded with a standard system inspection, which was the only service requested during that interaction. The inspection performed falls within the services covered by the voucher. Unfortunately, under these circumstances, the merchant is unable to offer a refund for this service.

      I kindly ask you to contact the merchant directly to ensure you receive the full service associated with your original purchase. They should be able to assist you in addressing any outstanding concerns and fulfilling the terms of your deal.

      If you have any further questions or need assistance, please dont hesitate to let us know.
