      Have Encounter Terrible Service from Groupon Deals recently.


      For one Case, They Refuse to Let My Gal Attend the Workshop since she's not yet 18, But Never state in their Coupon tis Age Limit.
      So Cancel ---------> Refund in Groupon Credit 2 months Later
      Note : I Pay thru Credit Card.

      For Latest Case, The Person in Charge of Order Refuse to Acknowledge the Birthday Cake Order and Tell Me I Can Always Cancel it if I'm Not Happy. Since they Have So Many Orders .... Don't Need my Order! :roll:
      So Cancel with Request Not to Refund in Credits, Since I'm Not Gonna Use their Service Again ----------> Groupon Replied after 2 Wks and Insisted that Since I Never Object in the 1st instance, They Will Not Refund to Me thru Credit Card!

      So Wrote To them a Strong Letter, Stating that -
      1) I Objected STRONGly to Refund in Groupon Credits
      2) I'm Totally Disappointed in their Suppliers Services, Will NOT use their Service Again - So Credits is Of No Use to Me ....

      Receive Their Reply Then to Say Will Refund to my Credit Card ....
      But Still Waiting for it to reflect in my Credit Card ....

          By Refund to their Groupon Credits, the $$ is Safely Kept within their Kiddie, and customers will have to use their service ....

          So Make Sure if U Request for Refunds, Must State
          1) Do Not Want in Credits. And
          2) Must Write to Them to OBJECT Strongly, Totally Not Agreeable to their Groupon Credit Refund.

            This is really a scam if groupon refused to refund via the same mode.


            Still can get refund? I thought they won’t bother to do refund.

              I tried groupon for a beauty & spa deal, go to new york skins solution. Met with a lot of hard-selling and they refused to let me off! 😞 It was a terrible experience. during the facial they kept convincing me to buy their beauty ampoules or don't know other facial things. not relaxing at all! they kept convincing me to buy, i tried to leave but they got their manager to talk to me! ugh.

                i also bought from deal.com and streetdeals, not bad, just that sometimes the customer service enquiry line nobody answers when i need help. but my favourite is still superdeals, no problem with my purchases, all very satisfied.

                        Groupon is a scam. If u buy restaurant voucher, the staff at restaurant will treat u as if u have no $$ to pay aka bad service.


                        From now on, will stay away from groupon as much as possible. Still have $40 credit voucher, anyone wants to take over less 25%??
