Is Groupon a scam?

Imami:
Forgot to update - got the full refund via credit card within a month since groupon first called meBought something from Groupon but the thing suffered a premature death. As it is still within the warranty repair, I send the gadget to Groupon for repair. They told me they would get back to me in 5 days – 5 weeks’ time. Very long time period hor?
About 4 weeks after I had sent in the gadget, I received a call from Groupon saying agent could not repair. That was 6 Nov and I was like,”huh? what do you mean?” And I could feel my $$$ flying away… the lady said groupon would arrange for a refund. For once I very smart, I said I wanted the refund to be via my credit card (instead of Groupon credit). The lady said ok, could be arranged and that it would be shown on my credit card statement within 5-15 days. I do not recall that she specifically mention that it should be “business days” but I assume so.
On 13 Nov, another call from Groupon. This time, the staff said the refund via my credit card had been processed and that I would received it(or should it be “see it in my credit card bill”) in 5-15days.
Erm…. To process, needs 5-15days. To ‘receive’, needs another 5-15days? Ok, I wait.
To be updated (on when I actually received my refund)…. -

Only tried a few times for groupon…

Groupon is not a scam , i managed to get refund even when the salon cant commit for the appointment .

Groupon is ok lah, I bought vouchers for restaurants and kayaking before and they are all usable. deal.com.sg is also safe, even got a refund from it before.

They are okay. But I think that their deals are not as attractive anymore.

Agree. Recent ly bought something, few days later, the same thing retailing at a cheaper price on another site. This is second time for us. So disappointed.
