Quotes of the week

Hear from some of the most impactful users to drive changes

The chimney cleaning offers misrepresented the actual Groupon price. I’m still not sure what the $12 represented. It’s very misleading and reflects badly on Groupon.

I bought a one year Sam's Club membership and gifted it. The recipient was unable to use it due to being a member years ago of a Sam's Club. It cost me $25 and Groupon doesn't refund or help you resolve the problem. Buyer be aware.
A Google user
Groupon is going downhill, I book something and the tour operator didn't show up, normally you would get a refund. but Groupon's customer service is non-responsive, they will leave you hanging, I feel frustration as this has ruined my experience.
