      I only tried the F&B from certain establishments that I am familiar with.


      OK leh, bought from Groupon $7.50 voucher can buy $15 worth of meal. Definitely if purchase above $15 has to top up the difference. That was 6 mths ago.

      2 weeks ago, just bought similar value from different F&B eateries.

      never try ‘spa’, go there the person will ask you to sign this package that package. If don’t sign, their face change to ‘black’.

        I bought some Brands chicken essences with Groupon voucher last year worth near a 50% discount. Since it is a reputable merchant and my family drinks brands chicken essences alot, it was quite a good buy.


        i had bought some facials and spa vouchers too. same experiences of difficult to book appointment, have to top up a certain amount to get a better treatment cream and hardselling. but agreed this is not groupon’s fault.

          No response when feedback! Buy at your own risk :?


          😓 So what should consumers do if purchases not receive? 🤷

            So far so good. I have purchased & consumed more than a dozen of vouchers from groupons, mostly foods & spa treatments. Most of them are really value for money.


            However, we had only one not-so-good experience of a non- authentic Korean rest which doesn't serve rice cake and they don't even know what is that. Later then we found out that its a Korean rest run by prc. We felt cheated cos it claimed to be Korean bbq :mad: .

              Oh yes, please remember to look out for fine prints eg.any extra charges if you redeem the vouchers on a weekend, etc. Good luck!

                No. I bought only F and B vouchers and am very selective with more reputable places. So far so good.

                  So far have tried F&B vouchers, hair perm / color / treatment vouchers, spa voucher. So far so good - even the saloon and spa never tried to hard sell. Very professional.

                    So far, I’ve only tried Burger King and thinking of buying the thermo pot on offer now. I’m still very kiasi, dare not try those restaurants deals.
