        I think the problem lies with the slimming centre, not groupon…

          Some time ago, I bought 2 groupons for discount at a noodle place located in nex.


          Went to nex this past weekend, intending to use the 2 groupons…only to find the place had already gone out of business.

          Emailed Groupon yesterday for refund, and received reply today that the paid amount will be credited to my CC within 5 days.

            I think most products are safe to buy, just read carefully the T&C before you purchase. For me, I would pick food coupons... easy to redeem, low prices (hence less cognitive dissonance).


            I bought a travel deal from a tour agency called Dynamikz Travel and they are very shady - but I blame myself for not checking out the background of the travel agency before purchase, and the group-buying site's sales man for allowing this kind of lousy service to be put on the site! Just be careful, ya...

            Anyhow, I still love getting coupons as they give us consumers a great chance to try out new merchants... F&B outlets my favourite. I use http://dealzilla.sg to see all the daily deals in Singapore and it's so easy to see everything at once.

              I have used Groupon many times, most of the time there is no problem. I think if there is, it is more the companies that are the issue, not Groupon.

                Groupon is going down. Burst its bubble really quick. Read it in the business times.

                    Groupon seems to be peddling mainly spa offers. How boring!

                      I find it ok! Just don’t choose those spas or facials places.

                        Groupon is going down? Not that easy. They are planning their IPO with valuation of 10B. They are still at burning cash stage but they have very deep pocket.
