        Groupon and the other discount companies (there are many of them) are legitimate businesses. And I do agree it might not be as good for both the companies, and the deal-site themselves, rather than the customer. The deals are meant to attract new customers for the companies. And they do work fine. What’s not to like about a good deal right?


        If you do choose to purchase a deal, don’t hesitate to call up the company doing the sale to answer any doubts you have.

          Groupon and some deal sites are valid sites but sometimes the deals are almost the same as the normal rate.

              Imami:
              Bought 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)….
              Forgot to update - got the full refund via credit card within a month since groupon first called me

                  Yeah it's the app for both android and iphone. The supposed rewards via paypal are fake.
