  Complaint: 23294461
  
  I am rejecting this response because:

  We were on a trip to *******. I bought five tickets for the Chicago boat tour from Groupon's "deal." I had forwarded the Groupon "deal" for the boat ride to my cousin visiting from **************, who also brought another five tickets ($149). I confirmed that the Chicago boat tour was open On Sunday and had hourly trips on May 4th, 2025, before purchasing the  Groupon "deal."    Despite being open, the tour company could not accommodate us despite calling and speaking to a customer representative. When I asked about the price we paid for the Groupon voucher, the boat company referred me back to Groupon. We flew out of ******* the following day. My experience with Groupon has been disappointing because I spent $116 without service. To add insult to injury, my cousin trusted my guidance and lost $149 the same day, all profit for Groupon! There were no disclaimers On the offer that the Chicago tour company may not honor the 'deal."! Anything too good to be true is probably not! My cousin will never trust me again, thanks to Groupon's "deal."
  Sincerely,

  Hello ******,
  Thank you for reaching out through the Better Business Bureau. Ive reviewed your latest comments and all related Groupon correspondence, and Ive also sent you a direct response via email.
  As mentioned in the email sent by our Resolutions Team on May 6, 2025, the merchant confirmed that their season began on May 3 and they remain open. Since the deal requires reservations after purchase and is marked as final sale and non-refundable, your refund request was unfortunately denied.
  That said, the Groupon is still valid until the end of October 2025, and it is transferableso you can gift it to someone else if you're unable to use it. If you need further assistance with redeeming the voucher, the merchant can be contacted directly at ********************** or by calling ************. You can also check ********************* for availability and FAQs.
  If the merchant has explicitly approved a refund and can provide written confirmation, wed be happy to re-review the case. Otherwise, as per the deals non-refundable terms, were unable to proceed with a refund at this time.
  Thank you for your understanding.
  Best regards,

  I purchased a Groupon deal clearly advertised to include tickets for both The ******* Eye and Madame Tussauds for 4 people. I selected the option that included both attractions and completed the purchase. However, the tickets I received only included Madame Tussauds plus a photo package. There is no option for this photo package deal on Groupon, just the option for the two attractions. I immediately contacted Groupon customer support to resolve the issue, but they repeatedly denied that I selected the correct option, even though I know I did. They offered small account credits but refused to refund the purchase or correct the tickets.This is not a case of buyers remorse or user error. I selected the correct option, but Groupons system processed it incorrectly. Despite my clear explanations and repeated attempts to resolve it amicably, they refuse to acknowledge the mistake. I did not receive what I paid for.

  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 **************************. I apologize for the trouble.
  
  Regarding your complaint: I truly apologize for the confusion and disappointment surrounding your recent Groupon purchase.
  
  Upon review, I can confirm that you purchased the "Madame Tussauds Admission" deal option listed under the broader deal titled ******** Eye, Madame Tussauds, SEA LIFE Aquarium." This deal includes multiple package options for different attractions, and the specific selection made during your checkout was for Madame Tussauds Admission, which does not include tickets to The ******* Eye.
  
  We understand how this could have been unclear, and I have forwarded your feedback to the appropriate team to help us improve clarity and presentation for future customers.
  
  That said, I also recognize your frustration and the effort you've made to resolve this matter. While we are unable to process a full refund, since the voucher has already been marked as redeemed and the event date has passed, weve issued $14.70 in Groupon Credits to your account as a gesture of apology.
  
  We sincerely regret any inconvenience caused and appreciate your long-standing support. If you have any additional questions, please don't hesitate to reach out.
  
  Regards,

  I bought the groupon for the 4 regal movie tickets which was supposed to come with a small popcorn or snack pack. I was able to purchase the movie tickets by paying additional surcharges but the movie theater concession stand did not honor the free popcorn or snack pack. I had to pay $45 for my things and my guest had to pay $22. I have been contacting groupon for a partial refund and their phone number isn't accepting calls, the chat and email option isn't working either. I tried emailing 5 times and have never gotten a response. They should not be selling items if there is no way to contact them with issues. The chat just spins and spins at all times and then disappears! I was at the ************* location.

  Hello *********,
  
  Thank you for reaching out to us through the Better Business Bureau. Ive reviewed your most recent comments along with all related correspondence on our end. I also responded to you directly via email from ************************** a short while ago.
  
  Im sorry for the confusion regarding your Regal movie ticket purchase. Upon reviewing the deal, Id like to clarify that the snack optionsSmall Popcorn and Snack Packare offered as separate add-ons. The deal provides multiple options at checkout, and customers must choose either the popcorn or the snack pack, as they are not automatically included with the movie ticket.
  
  Additionally, the wording on the deal pageChoose any movie, in any Regal Movie cinema! With snack packs or popcornis meant to indicate the availability of these as individual voucher options, not bundled inclusions. The deal description further outlines the terms of each:
  Small Popcorn Voucher: Redeemable for one small popcorn at any Regal concession counter. Not valid with other offers. Fees apply for upgrades. No cash value. Does not expire. Not replaceable if lost or stolen.
  
  
  Snack Pack Combo Voucher: Redeemable for one snack pack at any Regal concession counter. Fees apply for substitutions or frozen beverages. Not valid for upgrades. No cash value. Does not expire. Not replaceable if lost or stolen.
  
  
  I understand how this could have been confusing, and I truly apologize for any frustration it may have caused. Ill make sure your feedback is shared with the appropriate team for review, as were always working to improve clarity in our deal descriptions.
  
  Please dont hesitate to reach out if you need any further assistance.

  Complaint: 23283811
  
  I am rejecting this response because:

  On May 7th, Groupon contacted me directly by email, outside of the BBB process, to begin their Data Protection regulations security measure. Then, on May 8th, they followed up stating they had already reviewed my case and that a refund to my original payment method could not be processed without the merchants approval. I made it clear that a store credit is not an acceptable resolution, especially after a physically harmful service experience.
  Now, Groupon has replied again through BBB with a nearly identical response but is claiming once more that they need further information due to Data Protection regulations, stating that the voucher is linked to another account. This is both confusing and contradictory, and it feels like a delay tactic. I have already exchanged an email with Groupon after they reached out to me via the listed email address and there was never any mention of an account mismatch before.
  Additionally, I want to clarify that the email linked to my Groupon account is not the same one I used to submit my BBB complaint. The email I used for my BBB submission is my professional address, and I included the reference ID from the ********************** correspondence. We already completed the verification process through the email Groupon initially contacted me with, and my different email should not be an issue. There is no mismatch, and I do not have a Groupon account linked to the email used for my BBB complaint.

  
  Its also worth noting that the same person, ******* *********, who previously identified themselves as a Manager, is now responding under the title of Supervisor in the email to my Groupon account. This inconsistency only adds to the confusion in an already frustrating process and raises concerns about the clarity and reliability of the responses Ive been receiving.

  
  The facts remain unchanged:
  I was physically harmed during the service.
  The provider was untrained and not prepared to perform the procedure.
  Groupon has refused to issue a full refund to my original form of payment, instead issuing store credit that I never requested and cannot use.

  
  This experience warrants a refund, not store credit, and I ask that this be taken seriously and resolved accordingly.
  
  Sincerely,
  
  ******* *.

  which is completely unacceptable. Eight days later, my skin is still irritated to the touch.She also did not know how to redeem the Groupon voucher properly, further proving her lack of training. The business blocked reviews on ******, which raises concerns.I contacted the business owner directly and expressed serious concern that unqualified staff are performing services. I also contacted Groupon (Reference ID: ref:!**********.!500Uj0YB3n2:ref) requesting a full refund to my original payment method due to the severity of the experience.Instead, Groupon issued a store credit, something I did not request, do not want, and will not use. I followed up again and was told they cannot reverse the credit, which punishes the customer for their decision.This entire situation is unacceptable. This was not just a bad experience. I was physically harmed. A store credit is not a solution. I need Groupon to take full accountability and issue the refund I am owed, no exceptions.

  Hi *******,
  
  Thank you for taking the time to share your concerns. I'm truly sorry to hear about your distressing experience during your visit to ****************, and I understand how upsetting this must have been for you.
  
  At Groupon, we take customer feedback very seriously and are committed to ensuring positive experiences for all customers. Your concerns have been shared with the appropriate teams so that necessary improvements can be made.
  
  Regarding your request for a refund, once a voucher has been redeemed, we are typically unable to issue a refund to the original payment method without approval from the merchant. However, considering your experience, we have made an exception and credited your account with the full value of the purchase of $10.49 in Groupon Bucks. These credits are available immediately and can be applied to any eligible deal on our site for up to 180 days. You can view your balance on the My Groupons page, and when you're ready to use them, simply check the box to apply your Groupon Bucks during checkout.
  
  While we're unable to process a refund to your original payment method, I hope this resolution offers some support. We truly appreciate your feedback and hope your future experiences with Groupon are much more positive.

  Complaint: 23283811
  
  I am rejecting this response because:

  Its unfortunate that I had to escalate this situation to my bank in order to receive the resolution that Groupon refused to provide directly.
  Groupon continues to ignore the core issue. I was physically harmed during a service promoted on their platform, and I explicitly requested a refund to my original payment method, not Groupon credits, which I never asked for. Their repeated responses have failed to address this and instead rely on generic, copy-pasted messages that dismiss the seriousness of my experience.

  Their refusal to acknowledge the screenshots I submitted, which clearly show the same individual using different job titles (Manager and Supervisor), only adds to the confusion and lack of professionalism in how this matter is being handled.

  My case was clear from the start, and their continued deflection shows a lack of accountability. I will continue to report this matter to the appropriate agencies, including the cosmetology board.

  Purchased two vouchers online on ************************** 12/25/2024 for massages. A total of $110.88. This was a gift for my mom and she had a bad experience and they didn't provide all the services listed on the voucher. I contacted groupon (4/22/25) to see if I can get a refund since I only used one of the two vouchers and it was before the expiration date (4/25/25). They tried to offer credit but it was a lot of money and I wanted it in the original form of payment. I even asked for just a partial refund for the voucher that wasn't used but they won't budge. This experience didn't sit well with me. Can you please help me? I tried to dispute it with my credit card but I'm passed the window frame and they suggest bbb

  Hi *******,
  
  Thank you for reaching out and sharing your concerns with us. I completely understand how frustrating it can be to experience issues with a refund link, and I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience.
  
  After reviewing our records, I can confirm that your refund was successfully processed back to your original form of payment on May 06, 2025. You should have received a confirmation email shortly after the refund was issued. If this email hasn't appeared in your inbox, please check your spam or junk folder to ensure it wasn't filtered there.
  
  Refunds issued to a credit or debit card will appear as a refund from Groupon, Inc. Please note that it can sometimes take your bank a few days to route the funds correctly and post them to your account.
  
  If there's anything else I can assist you with or if you have further questions, please let me know. I'm here to help.

  Hello, Thank You for your help. I have a business ******************** in ******************* I start the Groupon service at 04/29 for online sales. The representative from Groupon told my promotion price is $79 and I can get $55.3 from Groupon. But when the advertising online, I found Groupon has enroll an additional promotion without my permission. That makes the sale price drop to $59 and my income drop to $44. I didnt know Groupon enrolled to that promotion until I get my first payment. I try to call Groupon or online chat, but never get response. The representative never mention about the additional promotion.I want to get contact from the business. I dont want to enroll the additional promotion and want to set my price back to $79 as promised. Or I want to complete cancel my advertisement since I am very unhappy for the service and support from Groupon Thank You
