### 5/5 — Amazing Deal when using Groupon

*2026-08-12, version 26.11.0*

Amazing deals if you use it correctly. Do not just buy on impulse. Plan and then buy.
This makes all the difference.
And stops FOMO.

### 5/5 — Great deals

*2026-08-11, version 26.11.0*

### 5/5 — deals

### 1/5 — Scam

*2026-08-11, version 26.11.0*

This app is just a convenient way for scammers to have their way with people. Customer service sucks

### 1/5 — Very Disappointing Experience

*2026-08-10, version 26.11.0*

My boyfriend purchased SeaWorld tickets through Groupon for a family trip but accidentally selected the wrong dates. The first purchase appeared to glitch, so he accidentally purchased them again. He contacted Groupon less than 24 hours later to explain what happened, but was told there was nothing they could do because the tickets were final sale.

The tickets were never used, yet our bank was told they had been redeemed. One voucher shows “Redeemed June 22,” which was also the expiration date, while the other shows “Gifted.”

I understand the final-sale policy, but the way this situation was handled was extremely frustrating and unprofessional. We will not be using or recommending Groupon to our family and friends. TRUST once they got your money they ain’t letting it go, ruined our experience and won’t be using to book large family get together any longer. Avoid like the plague!!!

Nothing in the app is loading, I e tried opening it on wifi, on cellular data only & I did the latest update nothing is working

### 1/5 — I’m Overseas and u can’t use Groupon to order stuff

*2026-08-23, version 26.12.0*

And have it at my home in Return , absolutely Ridiculous

### 1/5 — Check the events first

*2026-08-22, version 26.12.0*

Charging $7 a person for an event that is free to attend, ridiculous.

### 1/5 — The app doesn’t pushes customer service requests to an ai that doesn’t help

*2026-08-21, version 26.12.0*

Customer service seems to have done down hill and non existent

### 1/5 — A Scam

*2026-08-17, version 26.12.0*

A waste of money, They took my money and I didn’t receive a confirmation email about my order.

### 1/5 — Refunds

*2026-08-17, version 26.12.0*

After buying a Groupon I tried to make a reservation at the restaurant only to find out the restaurant had closed. Contacted Groupon to try and get money back but all they will give me is Groupon bucks

### 1/5 — Never use this

*2026-08-16, version 26.12.0*

Groupon has no support line and is a scammy terrible service .  I will never use this again . Terrible experience

### 1/5 — Price jumps 90% if you turn on location services.

*2026-08-15, version 26.12.0*

I noticed that the cost of an activity jumped from about $24 to $45 dollars when I put on location services.   I suppose the more convenient it is to use a deal, the more it cost.


Shame

### 1/5 — Not happy with the service

*2026-08-15, version 26.12.0*

I have been a Groupon customer for some time and have purchased several vouchers from Max Therapy after having a positive experience in the past. Unfortunately, my most recent experience was very disappointing.

It was extremely difficult to secure an appointment, and when I finally did, I felt that I was treated differently because I had purchased the service through Groupon. At one point, it seemed that staff were reluctant to provide the massage, which made me feel unwelcome as a customer.

Following this experience, I contacted Groupon to request a refund for my unused vouchers. Given the poor service and the amount involved (around $200), I hoped for some flexibility or goodwill consideration. However, my request was declined based on the 5-day refund policy, despite the issue only becoming apparent after attempting to use the service.

I believe Groupon should reconsider how customer concerns are handled in situations where the quality of the service does not meet reasonable expectations. Loyal customers should feel supported when genuine issues arise.

Overall, this experience has left me disappointed with both the merchant and Groupon’s customer service.

### 1/5 — Worst App I’ve used

*2026-08-15, version 26.12.0*

Couldn’t sign in on browser due to an “API error” not sending my email a code. Now downloaded the app, added my coupon and it’s not showing. Try add it again and it says it’s already been redeemed. Terrible UX
