Reviews and Complaints

I joined Groupon Select for the 6 month required period. I have no complaints about Groupon Select itself, I joined for a reason - met my objective and made a reminder to cancel after 6 months.

My complaint has to do with cancelling. Like any other subscription service, you have to cancel EXACTLY how it is detailed in their instructions.

I did that. But, it never acknowledged that I cancelled the membership. To make sure that I cancelled things correctly, I took screen shots. I took a screen shot showing I had paid for the 6 months. I took screen shots of the cancellation policy in place. I took screen shots of performing the cancellation procedure.

It didn't help. When I contacted Groupon via Chat, they asked for the screen shots, which I provided. Then they asked for mail evidence of the cancellation.

DUH! What mail evidence? The reason I took screen shots is because I could tell the on-line cancellation procedure wasn't working.

They did cancel it via Chat. But I knew it wasn't going to get cancelled without a fight and I was right.

Their 877 customer support phone number is just a message that redirects to the website. The website supposedly won't let one contact a person without signing in or identifying the order. Once signed in, one must "select an order to get started." there are options to change aspects of the order if you select an order.in my case, one of those buttons is creating an error code. I've scoured endlessly. There is absolutely no way to contact a person, despite groupon claiming to have one. Not even a forum. This is just rude and uncalled for. I'm left in the dark with my order. I will have to take legal action to get my money back.

A local supermarket was having a really great groupon deal, so I signed up for a groupon account and bought the deal. Seems simple right. Not when it comes to Groupon. My order first said it was pending processing all day. When it was never processed, Groupon customer service available via live chat assured me it was all fixed and that my order would be processed soon...that was more than a day ago and I have received no resolution or explanation from Groupon. I now remember whey I didn't have a Groupon account in the first place...I am a very busy single mom and just don't have time to spend an entire day on something that should take five seconds.

I used groupon one time several years ago, and decided to try them again this past summer. I purchased one Groupon for $9 off sushi at a restaurant in Orlando in July.

To redeeem the groupon, in September, I downloaded the APP to display the groupon easily. Shortly thereafter I have two charges for $4.99 one dated September 19th, and one dated September 20th. I am told these charges are for GROUPON select. I never signed up for the service. They claim I did. I see others have this same experience. I have contested these charges with my bank.

I believe this company is engaged in FRAUD, as they refused to refund these unauthorized charges to my card. I am [protected]@hotmail.com and willing to join with others in a class action lawsuit against the Company.

I purchased a Groupon for the Las Vegas Food and Wine Festival scheduled for October 5, 2019, several weeks in advance. Before the event, my mom passed away and her funeral services would be held on the same day (October 5, 2019) as the festival in Illinois. I contacted Groupon before flying out to see if I could have this Groupon returned for Groupon bucks I could use in the future. I was told by a representative that there was nothing they could do. This shouldn't be in extreme emergencies there is nothing they can do, even the airline industry has more heart than Groupon. I would never purchase again from a company that lacks compassion in the midst of such a devastating event. I would also not recommend to anyone else to buy from Groupon especially for advance events. God forbid a life changing event happens, Groupon simply doesn't not care.

I purchased 4 personalized Christmas stockings from your company through Groupon early this morning. When I went to personalize them, Qualtry said I would have to pay an additional $11 per stocking to ship. That's $44 plus the what I already paid. I want to cancel this order! I've been online trying to get help with this for hours. Groupon says I have to contact you. You say you cannot refund, it has to be Groupon. I'm so exhausted and frustrated. Please help me!

I purchased the groupon voucher I think in February of this year.

On my first visit for the consultation I mentioned that I had been experiencing facial pain and they advised to seek medical advice before they could carry out the treatment.

I did and was diagnosed with trigeminal neuralgia. After informing aesthetics of Liverpool they advised that they would not be able to carry out the treatment.

Therefore I require a refund of £79.00.

I await your response.

Kindest Regards

I purchased 3 vouchers from Groupon. I used one on 8/9/2019 and contracted a skin rash, an URI and a stomach virus. They have had numerous complaints including being shut down 3x! I have requested a refund on the other 2 vouchers and no one has contacted me at Groupon and their phone number does not let you speak to a live human or even a recording. Groupon should not be advertising an establishment that has broken many legal codes and health codes. I will go to every agency there is until this is resolved.

I submitted a purchase for 4 Pitbull tickets yesterday. My order went to 'processing 'status.
I emailed to find out why. I was told my credit card was the problem. This was the same card that had successfully purchased a groupon earlier the same day.
I verified the credit card info and purchased 4 tix again. Again they went to 'processing status'.
I emailed to find out why and was again told it was my credit card.
I entered a new credit card and purchased 4 tix yet again. Same 'processing' limbo. Same response that it was my credit card.
Today the orders have vanished and customer service now informs me that the reseller stopped fulfilling orders.
#1 - I was lied to about the credit card issue
#2 - if they rean out of tickets, why did they keep allowing purchases?
I have been cheated out of tickets and want someone to call me back. I did request that a supervisor call but nothing.

I purchased a bubble spa on Groupon. Cost $409.99. Delivered withbut a defective heater. I called the vendor and after extended wait was told they would call me in 2 business days with a fix. When no call came, I waited an hour on hold & left recorded message asking for a resolution. Days later Groupon claims they fully refunded. No refund received

I payed $25.00 for an oil change. When it was done I was handed another bill for an additional $34.58. I expected to be paying for the oil disposal fee but that was all. He never said that his oil changes were $59.58. If I would have known that I would have gone somewhere else. I'm feeling very ripped off right now. I've bought Groupons before and never had a problem. Can you possibly help me with this? I didn't even get a sticker on my windshield.

Their Representative was so uncaring and had no interest or empathy at all to try to help me with some unauthorized purchases.. if you look at my years of ordering and order history I have never had any disputes or problems with Groupon. a few mos ago I ordered two sets of satin sheets and until recently a pleased customer. Recently Three sets of these sheets has been unauthorized purchases on my card. Two were made that generated the chat call. I did not know of the purchases until I saw a confirmation email. Tried calling to no avail and directed to your chat which was awful. Immediately after got off the chat line another set was charged on my card and unauthorized. Was informed nothing could be done until I received order than I could return for refund. You are emptying my checking acct out with these unauthorized purchases. Will be seeing my bank first thing in the morning to block groupon from taking any more funds out of my acct. Your policy is terrible and even though I have been doing business for several yrs will discontinue all purchases with groupon. Your customer service recently is the worst have ever experienced and your policy way below unsatisfactory. If this is how you treat a loyal customer I want no part of this company. I am requesting all my monies to be refunded back to my checking acct immediately. I am done with groupon due to your unsatisfactory customer service, unfair practices and unauthorized charges.

I purchased this product only to find out I didn't have the right phone to use the voucher. Groupon billed Pay Pal and American Express I never authorized this charge twice the amount is $149.00. I also had 2 Groupon that expired I they locked me out of my account. This issue has been going on since Jan 2019 I have tried calling them and I get someone overseas ! I never received the product !

Groupon has been repeatedly calling and emailing us about advertising. We can recall at least 3 months of calls and emails, maybe more. We told them months ago we do not want to advertise with them. They continually call and tie up the phone lines, we are a medical office with patients who cannot get through when they are calling after we asked them not to- we have a list of multiple patients who have had to leave messages when they call because Groupon will not stop talking and the staff has been intimidated. (I have since advised them to just hang up). Today, 070819, "Angello Bray" from Groupon called and I asked him to take us off of their call list and stop emailing us and he fully denied that request. I told him that we do not want to do business with Groupon. He proceeded to tell me that "If you don't want any more customers than you are sad" and he continued with several more insults. I asked for a supervisor and he refused. I asked for the department that would handle complaints and he refused. I asked for a return phone number for Groupon and he refused. After I hung up the phone he emailed us, after I advised that we dont want any more phone calls or emails.

I've had terrible customer service from Car Toys. I bought a groupon to have my car detailed and called to set up an appointment. I was told to bring my car in on June 29th at 10:00 am. I showed up to car toys and they had no appointment for me and the lady next to me had the same problem. We both called and was given an appointment time and when we arrived there was no record of us calling. That's not my only bad experience with car toys. I purchased a car that had no back up camera so I went to car toys to see if they could help me. They showed me some stereos and I decided on one that looked nice and then was told I had to buy a adapter for my 2015 Camaro, OK, i said and we decided what day they could do this. I came into the store to drop my car off and then asked if my controls on the steering wheel was going to work ? Oh no was there reply, there's another adapter you need to buy. Nobody said anything about another adapter at the time of purchase . So I said I didn't want a mickey mouse stereo in my nice car. I bought the other adapter and said is that everything and was assured everything was set. I went to pick up my car and was showed this new stereo that looked very nice except I had to plug the phone in for it to work! nobody told me i would have to plug my phone into the car for it to work. I recently had a 2015 Honda civic and didn't have to plug my phone into the stereo for it to work. to me these people only care about making a sale without telling the customer everything that I needed to know before the installation. I was very upset with them and still am and will never step foot into there store again. I posted a bad review on Yelp and Facebook and wasn't surprised to find plenty of other people very unhappy with this company. I would like a refund or credit on the groupon I purchased.

Dear Customer Service,

I bought a Thai Massage for $60 through Groupon on March 16, 2019 and it was immediately marked redeemed. I went to redeem my massage, today (May 3rd, 2019) and discovered this was a scam. In googling the issue I see thirteen other complaints reporting that it is a scam. I would like Groupon to refund my purchase of $60. Please see a photo of the purchase below that have not been able to redeem. It also states that the purchase expires on July 14 2019. I've called the number and there is no answer stating that it is out of service.

My number is [protected]

I purchase 2 vouchers for a Teleflora Groupon. The 2 vouchers appear separately on My Vouchers implying they are 2 separate entries. They aren't. They put 2 vouchers on 1 file. So when I ordered 1 bouquet and opened what I thought was the single voucher for the 1st order, it opened both of the vouchers. The policy is that once the voucher is open is has to be used. So by placing my 1st order, I opened both vouchers, using one and making the 2nd void.

But on the My Voucher screen they are both displayed separately - not Teleflora with a (2) quantity but 2 separate line items for Teleflora.

Can you say quick way to rip people off without putting out much effort?

Tried the chat - useless. They can cancel my Teleflora order which is not going to help and the 2nd voucher won't be made available and there are no Groupon refunds.

I couldn't remember why I stopped using Groupons - now I do. Rip. Off.
