      I am not receiving a refund for a purchase I made that the Groupon coupon I bought does not work. I have been in contact with them and was told I had three days from purchase to receive refund. I bought the coupons in August and was not using them until October, had no idea that they were faulty until now.

      I would like to issue a complaint against Groupon because they sold me a service that did not exist, and now they are refusing to refund me my money but will only issue me their in-store creditGroupon Bucks. In other words, they are choosing to keep my money, even though the mistake was there's.On 8/29/23 I purchased a kayak rental for Friday, 9/1/23 at 10am for $76. I went to the rental location on that date and no one from the kayak company showed up nor would they answer my phone calls. On 9/1/23 I wrote to the vendor and Groupon and stated that I would like a refund as I did not receive the purchased service. The vendor refunded my full payment to Groupon on 9/2/23 stating that Groupon is not supposed to have Bridgeport reservations on Fridays. Groupon however, first told me they could not contact the vendor and then that they could not refund me my money through my original payment because I had not canceled the purchase in 3 business days. After multiple back and forth emails with Groupon , they dropped the email link, so I had to start a new complaint. After ************************************** my money, but instead want to give me Groupon Bucks, or in-store credit. I believe I should be refunded the $76 to my credit card because 1) Groupon sold a service that did not exist; 2) Groupon falsely advertised that the service existed on the date that I purchased it; and, 3) per Groupons policy I notified them in 3 business days that I wanted a refund, even though the underlying premise of that policy is that I changed my mind, i.e., that I chose to cancel, but I did not cancel, they canceled on me.The vendor already returned the money to them, so I do not understand why they will not return my money to me. Either Groupon made a mistake by listing this rental as available, or they were deceptive in the sale of this rental. In either case, the failure was on their end and not on mine, so I should get my money back.

      I bought a Groupon for discounted car washes at Circle K. I went to the car wash twice (not located close - so time and gas used) and was told twice they didn't accept it. I tried to get a refund from Groupon, and they gave me the run around for about a month, before asking me to go back and try again. NO! I'm not going back a third time! I want my original amount refunded, plus some type of compensation for the time and effort I put into this.

      Bought ********* OS for Mac. Groupon sent me the code for the Windows and it is not working on my Mac computer Mac OS. Groupon (*******************************************) said " I looked into this deal's terms, and the Fine Print indicates that it's Final Sale. I'm afraid a refund isn't possible despite the circumstances." It is fraud business practice.

I have since filed 9 complaints and have received to recourses. I only wanted my ***** back. I have followed through and add nd jumping through every hoop. Yet have been put through so much just to have it all happen again the next day. I am so upset. What can I do?

      Terrible experience. Site has multiple tech issues and does not work correctly. When I purchased an item I was charged twice for it, then told I could not be refunded. The person did not even investigate the issue and the customer service has gone from bad to terrible. It is hard to even talk to an actual human. Particularly customer service agent ************************** was not helpful and did not even take time to understand the problem. I would be very hesitant to buy again.

      This company is HORRIBLE now. They sell Groupons for company's that are out of business and then refuse to give a refund for their fraudulent practices. No wonder this company has a class action lawsuit against it. It is no longer the company it once was and I will NEVER use them again. HORRIBLE business practices and ethics.

      If I could give less than one star I would. Groupon is inundated with scams I fell to one and now Groupon wont give me my money back because voucher is redeemed but Groupon apparently doesnt have a process to prevent customers from being scammed. I just want my money back.
