1. [R4] Groupon 1/5 · US Don’t bother no support no purchases for CC only debit cards.: All AI bots, no support if there’s an issue. Decline credit cards then requests you use Apple or google pay bit if you use a credit attached to Apple Pay it’s declined only accepts debit cards or Apple or google pay that has de it card attached. You can find reals deals elsewhere online
2. [R9] Groupon 1/5 · US This app Trassshhhhh!!!!!: If you ever get scammed out your money, just call your bank and cancel it! Because this app has no real live agent to assist!!! Full of AI’s that’ll act like a live agent, and will have you keep repeating the same process every day until you can’t get your refund back.
3. [R41] Groupon 1/5 · US Worst: Don’t expect them to help they will tell you to contact them with no luck there a third party that had no pawer over nothing point blank period.
4. [R33] Groupon 1/5 · US No visa!??: Hours to make a purchase
5. [R35] Groupon 1/5 · US Rip off: Groupon charged me twice for one coupon and then refused to refund the price back to my bank account. They only offer more Groupon credits. Please be careful that they don’t double charge you because you cannot get your money back.
6. [R49] Groupon 1/5 · US Be careful they’ll rob you: More than once, they have taken the money from my account and then said the payment failed and never refunded me. There is no option for help if this happens, they just have your money now. And also!! They do have scam merchants on here. I purchased a wax and the seller did not respond to anyone according to google reviews, just collects money for appointments and never
7. [R7] Groupon 1/5 · US Sea world: Did not honor at Sea World San Diego
8. [R8] Groupon 5/5 · US BEWARE: My review is only a 1 they won’t post a review under 5 We purchased our tickets to Comic Con. We then did everything it said to activate our tickets 3 days before the show. Only for the morning of it said that the tickets had expired. I had messaged Groupon was told that we would get a refund and it would take 24-48 hours to get our money back. They then told us we had to purchase tickets
9. [R11] Groupon 1/5 · US Bad Experience: i bought coupon from Groupon and didn't use it as service was more expensive than without coupon.. they are not refunding or adding Groupon money.. let me to deal with vendor
10. [R15] Groupon 1/5 · US Too many hidden requirements: Too many hidden requirements, too much small, fine print. Many coupons are not available to use during certain times and certain dates. They do not make it obvious at all. These fine prints are hidden in some corner. After I purchased it, they will refuse to refund it. Then you realize the dates you were planning to go are part of the not available dates under the fin
11. [R13] Groupon 1/5 · US This app is a scam: Tried to get a refund on zoo passes that weren’t used. And instead of giving me a refund to my card they automatically refunded me “Groupon bucks” then refused to give me my cash back. Lost a customer. Watch out for the BS on this app. 0 stars if I could
12. [R17] Groupon 1/5 · US Bad service: I got a group and was unable to use it at the vendor and Groupon did not refund me
13. [R23] Groupon 2/5 · US Groupon sucks: You can’t ever just get something. It’s always extra fees. You can’t get a refund . You can’t talk to anyone . It is so much trouble to save a few bucks . I’d rather pay full price than deal with this bull. Just beware it is a major headache .
14. [R31] Groupon 1/5 · US Don’t use this app!!: I purchased a Groupon to a merchant who required an appointment for their service. I made the appointment. I received an email telling me that they cancelled the appointment. Fine no problem. I requested a refund from Groupon. They refuse to refund my money back onto my debit card! I spoke with customer service who assured me a resolution would be reached within 48h. 7days la
15. [R1] Groupon 1/5 · US Not like before: It’s been years since I used Groupon. If I can get what I paid for today within the next 24 hours, I might stick around. After you pay, you’re told it will be hours (in my case 3-4 or 24) before you get the key. Had I known that, I would have purchased direct. All this hassle to save $7. And then there are other glitches… SMH
16. [R25] Groupon 1/5 · US Very glitchy: Used to be a great app. Purchased a few items on there in the past with fair to great results, but now it just shows the items available and won’t even load it into your cart. It used to do that occasionally in the past, but the last “update” in early June 2026 seems to have broken the app completely. Very sad.
17. [R27] Groupon 1/5 · US Complicated: I would rather have paid full price to nord vpn than to deal with your confusing system. At least I’d have it installed by now. Last time I use your service!
18. [R29] Groupon 1/5 · US Horrible search engine!: I put in Oceanside, California and all of a sudden I’m getting Chula Vista and Newport beach, which has nothing to do with Oceanside and the distance is ridiculous. So why in the hell would you put those when I put Oceanside??? What a scam.
19. [R19] Groupon 1/5 · US Stop selling coupons for scam businesses: 0 stars actually! For selling coupons for Modrn Sanctuari massage- They literally scam you on websites like Groupon, charge you extra for rescheduling and don’t even refund for not providing the service! Posted wrong phone numbers on google and groupon! I genuinely like the service when I first had it but my experience without them is horrible…. Scammers
20. [R43] Groupon 1/5 · US Feeling scammed: The listing did not have non-refundable rule policy explicitly visible upon purchase. I did try to locate it upon the purchase, apparently it was somewhere in the fine print. The expiration date of the groupons I purchased is within less than two weeks. I contacted them asking to cancel or award Groupon credit and got a blanket refusal. Disappointed old user.
21. [R47] Groupon 1/5 · US Scammers: I purchased two 40 unit Botox deals with two different med spas and only 1 of the 2 purchases is showing up on my account and the other one isn’t…. However they are both showing up on my PayPal credit card. They don’t have human phone call customer service, only email. The email is slow, only 1 or two responses per week. They keep deeply misunderstanding me, sending me all kinds of bull
22. [R52] Target 5/5 · US Amazing: Love the free pick up

I love the Target brand, the clean and organized stores, and the convenient app that makes shopping so easy.

24. [R58] Target 5/5 · US The best dept store: Target always has a good price, good customer service. Cleaner and we’ll organized than Walmart stores. Keep it up.👍
25. [R62] Target 3/5 · US App glitches and lags constantly: I love the convenience of doing my whole grocery order in the app for pick up, but it is CONSTANTLY lagging when I try to get my order together.
26. [R69] RetailMeNot 5/5 · US Real Savings!: I started using this tool during Black Friday and Christmas sales last year. From Nov-Dec I managed to earn $106 back that I was able to cash right out and use for whatever I needed as soon as the New Year started. RetailMeNot is legit and I’m here for it!!

30. [R80] Tripadvisor 5/5 · US An Absolute 10/10 Experience with Danger’s Boat Tour!: Our trip with Captain Joe and his incredible crew was hands-down fantastic. From start to finish, the crew went above and beyond, the two crew ladies, Morgan and Deny, were absolute lifesavers, helping my daughter with a rubber band and coming to the rescue with the perfect sun protection. Morgan even learned our names. ❤️ Here are the highligh

32. [R84] Tripadvisor 5/5 · US Stayed at inner banks inn Edenton NC: Had a group of family members occupy 5 rooms. We stayed in 2 of the houses. These are historic buildings so you get the feeling of how it was living a hundred years ago. The a/c thermostat adjusted to cool down in area summer temperatures. The dining room , breakfast and staff were very accommodating. The managers and owners wanted to verify that all was
