Groupon is horrible. Do not spend your money until you have thoroughly checked out the merchant..Groupon has virtually no customer service. JUST A BUNCH OF DATA ENTRY, COPY AND PAST BLOW YOU OFF INDIVIDUALS...TOTALLY UNNACEPTABLE..THEY DO NOT STAND BEHIND ,NOR WILL THEY ENSURE CUSTOMER /MERCHANT SATISFACTION. DONT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY
★★★★ Troy Kouts 5/5/2026
App won't let you change location or user account without uninstalling and when selecting to log in with Google just auto logs in with an option rather than letting you select from a list. Also, buttons to leave app are not displayed. Very poorly made IMO
★★★★ Lino Quagliariello 5/5/2026 v26.7.1
As many stated, chances are you will be scammed using groupon. I was told I was buying Ultherapy, a FDA approved HIFU treatment, but it was a generic not FDA approved HIFU treatment. Contacted groupon and they gave a 20% off discount to compensate for being misled.
★★★★ Pond Luck 5/5/2026
I am livid. I purchased something couldn't use it because of their system failure and they want to give me BUCKS. Groupon bucks are only good on Groupon. I need to purchase my product and can't because of them. So basically in my current experience DON’T USE GROUPON.

★★★★ Paul 5/3/2026
bad experience and no follow up from supervisor as promised
★★★★ Melih Yontem 5/2/2026 v26.7.0
Always check the venue's website. Groupon literally lies about the price. my order was cheaper at the venue's website even tho Groupon says %40 off
★★★★ cute cuteboy 5/1/2026 v26.7.0
THE APP NEEDS IMPROVEMENT. ASAP. Switching back from searching for things is always reloaded back to the original interface which is the most annoying thing ever. 😡
★★★★ Rebecca Cobb 5/1/2026
Be careful... App is misleading & directs you to events/services that are NOT local. Flashy & overcrowded screen makes it difficult to know exactly what you are signing up for
★★★★ Dres G 5/1/2026 v26.7.0
Don't get this app . you can't get a refund it just gives you credit / vouchers
★★★★ R.M. Cecelia Brown 5/1/2026 v25.23.477806
Groupon has become a scam. it started out with good deals but over time degenerated into not honoring it's rates. They charged me for more than the Groupon price. There being no way to contact customer support only compounds things. Find bargains elsewhere.
★★★★ Iryna Bondar 5/1/2026 v26.6.1
The second I signed up for this service - all of my personal data and purchase history was sold. I received multiple phishing emails that mirrored my purchase that could only be tracked back to groupon. f you groupon.
★★★★ Brenda Lee S 4/28/2026 v26.7.0
I have been trying to find my vouchers for days unsuccessfully due to having a new phone and there is no phone number or direct website where I can explain my situation so as to resolve my issue.
★★★★ Thalia Bucardo 4/28/2026 v26.7.0
no customer service sucks at giving refunds exhausting
★★★★ Shebby #5 4/28/2026 v26.7.0
BUYERS BEWARE!!! SCAM!! I purchased several vouchers from Groupon for various activities while on vacation. A couple of the merchants were unreachable, the venues were closed and they did not have a phone number they could be reached. I contacted Groupon for a refund for the vouchers where the merchants were not able to be reached. Groupon told me that they could not refund me my money because although the merchants had been experiencing difficulty honoring vouchers, they were now available!
★★★★ Sophie Gonzales 4/25/2026 v26.6.1
used the application for a rental. They are A 3rd party. I canceled my reservation and could not get my money returned 😤
★★★★ Nam Khan 4/25/2026
Only saved $1 compared to whats charged at the gate. Groupon in-app stated I saved $11! what a scam!
★★★★ George Joshy 4/25/2026
no option to reach customer service.... the offer is not reflected on the billing page and no way to reach customers service for resolution.... there should be a call center or email for issues not listed in the FAQ.
★★★★ Jeff Bird 4/24/2026 v26.6.1
Fraudulent. they will not refund anything. horrid customer service. Representsive lied many times and would not identify themselves or their supervisor. DO NOT USE. No phone calls, worst experience. cause me to loose 200$!!!
★★★★ OG The Snowboard Guy 4/24/2026 v26.6.1
awful experience cant pay for anything, groupon has gone downhill
★★★★ DEANGELO VICKERS 4/21/2026
No way to contact Customer services. Can only have something to hide or too many complaints to handle.
★★★★ Douglass Abramson 4/20/2026 v26.6.1
I was sent gift bucks, but not provided anyway to use them
★★★★ Kenneth 4/19/2026 v26.6.1
I purchased a Groupon for a haircut with full highlights, but the salon said it only covered partial highlights and required an extra $50. I felt forced to pay more or lose what I already spent. Groupon refused a refund due to the 30-day policy, even though the issue was inaccurate advertising. This experience felt deceptive and poorly handled and this is not the first time I've felt misled and unsupported as a Groupon customer. It's the last time, though
★★★★ JJ 4/18/2026 v26.6.1
the worst, deceptive practices, app 'errors' that don't allow negative reviews, failure to deliver purchased groupons, total scam
★★★★ jisha Santochan 4/18/2026 v26.6.1
Dear team , I have to raise a complaint : I tried to buy 3 tickets from Groupon application for sahara centre Adventure land tickets. 1) 1 ,I brought using tabby and is redeemed. 2) 1, I used my emirates nbd card with Groupon app, and is redeemed. 3) While I am purchasing another 1 using my another email id using my same emirates nbd card, I didn't received the mail and money deducted twice from my account, I have the evidence.
★★★★★ John Murray 5/8/2026 v26.7.1
Maybe good for what you want,but search for a certain item and it comes up with everything and anything instead of saying item not available.
★★★★★ Lori Schick 4/21/2026 v26.6.1
I ordered approximately 17 shirts off Groupon. Once again, it went on my credit card. Instead of through the Groupon bucks then I've only received Five out of those shirts, and it's been 20 days, i've tried to communicate with groupon, about not being able to get a hold of the merchants.Can't return my merchandise can't exchange it for different sizes.Can't get a whole of anybody
★★★★★ Doe 4/18/2026 v26.6.1
