Groupon.com Account deactivation

My account was suddenly deactivated by Groupon for no reason. I was not able to sign in or reset my password, and it said my email address wasn’t affiliated with any account. I contacted customer service via chat and email and they will not disclose anything to be besides saying that they shut down my account for violation of terms or service. When asked what terms were violated, they would not disclose this information. I had $1200 in Groupon Bucks on my account that I now lost due to the deactivation. They literally said they will not address me anymore and and attempts to remedy this will be useless in an email. This is not outrageous!

Desired outcome: I want an explanation and my $1200 back!!

I am a Groupon merchant and I started to notice all my vouchers were redeemed but I never rendered services. This started may 17th I asked someone from the support team why is my Groupon being redeemed they told me it was a glitch in the system.

Someone went in and changed my bank account. Please help

Desired outcome: Payment for the clients I provided services for

Groupon.com Voucher for leafwell medical marijuana card

Paid $81.18 on credit card for voucher containing redemption code for cost of medical marijuana card. Process to provide voucher was supposed to take 1 hr. max. 24 hrs later, when I try to retrieve voucher Groupon says "processing" Cannot get response to emails to Customer Service which only provides auto reply saying could take up to 24hrs to get response. Cannot contact anyone by telephone. Feels like I am being scammed by Groupon. I want contact by company and provision of voucher with redemption code I can use with Leafwell.

Desired outcome: Redemption code to get Leafwell medical marijuana card.

Groupon.com Deleted account

My account was also deleted/hacked/deactivated whatever! I know my password is correct, email from groupon states No account associated with my email. I have over $200 in Groupon bucks, I get notifications to use them! I’ve chatted, sent several emails and they just send their script requesting info on voucher, cc #, etc. The issue is “lost in translation” then there’s crickets.

Desired outcome: I want access to my account and my money!!!

Groupon.com Customer service

I even tried a neighbor address, didn't work.I asked for refund since I can't buy from them, basically told tough luck.

Desired outcome: A refund or upgrade the system

Groupon.com deactivation of account without consent or explanation.

According to the representative this morning, my account was deactivated due to a security issue. I purchased two groupons on Friday the 23 with Groupon bucks for beauty services. 12/18 I went to redeem those groupons only to be told my account does not exist. I had close to $250.00 in groupon bucks. When emiling the specialists after the lve chat, Danilea said my account was terminated due to a "terms of violation" reason. No explanation, no nothing. When I live chatted an agent this morning, he/she wouldn't even send me the "terms of service" for review. I have screenshots of the conversations, and emails. I have contacted the better Busness beareau and I will keep digging until I get a refund of the money in my account. I want to know what happened, why it was deactivated and no notifications were given to me, and I want my money back (for purchased Groupons and Groupon bucks.)

Desired outcome: Refund me the $250.00 in my account.

Groupon.com Login problem; terrible customer service

I have been a Groupon user for many years. I regularly receive ads from the company. Recently I responded to one of the ads and placed an order. When I tried to log in, my password didn't work, although it was on autofill. I tried to reset the password, but got the email that my account did not exist. When I tried to created another account, it pointed that the email was already in use. I tried to use the 'chat' support, but was left hanging in the middle of the conversation; the rep had simply disappeared. I emailed the support, and got a response from Account Specialist Prasad T, who, after a few email exchanges, advised to contact my bank as my credit card and the address didn't match the Groupon records. That was almost offensive, as my address was correct, and the rep just did not care to look into the real issue. I read online that other members had similar issues with this company. I must say, that Groupon does not have an adequate technical support, and their account specialists are quite ignorant.

Groupon.com Account deactivated with $59 groupon bucks

How convenient is this for Groupon? Closed the account with groupon bucks on it, and customer service not helping at all. Same answer: "someone will contact you by email" Are they real people or bots? I have a refund number, emails, purchases, credit cards used. What else do you want?

I tried to log on to my account and my password did not work. i was asked for my email and groupon would send me an email to reset my password. I received an email from Groupon that they have no record of my account. I then went to the Help and opened up a conversation: Something is very wrong--

Desired outcome: have someone from Groupon rectify this error--

Desired outcome: I want my account back with my groupon bucks on it ($59.40). I want to be able to use my groupon bucks, and forget about this company for good.

Groupon.com Account deleted after making a purchase

Groupon deactivated my account hours after I made a purchase. There is clearly a pattern here. Specifically, I purchased a Sam's Club membership for $20. The purchase was "processing" for several hours.

I logged in the next day, and my password didn't work. I chose forgot password, put in e-mail and received the message "We received your password reset request, but unfortunately, there is no account on file with this email address."

Groupon is clearly trying to lure users back with fake ads for discounted memberships and other products and services. What a scummy company. If, by chance, reps from Groupon.com see this: F*ck all of you mother*uckers. Seriously, you are pieces of [censored].

Groupon.com Groupon deactivated my account and i have 100.00 credit still on it from a gift.

I have had a Groupon account for many years and have used it through the years. I had a 100.00 credit left from a 400.00 gift on my account. I tried to log on to my account and my password did not work. i was asked for my email and groupon would send me an email to reset my password. I received an email from Groupon that they have no record of my account. I then went to the Help and opened up a conversation: It is obvious that whom I was corresponding with was either not educated or not familiar with english as many many of the words were misspelled. i forwarded this person my last order with my email--they stated they have no record -this went on for a while ending with the fact that they do not have any record----My account and money is gone -----i am probably not the only one to have had his or her account ,with a credit or gift money still on the account and Groupon deactivate the account---- Something is very wrong--

Groupon.com Account Deleted with no notice and existing Groupon Bucks

[protected]@yahoo.com - My account was deleted with no notice and I have existing Groupon Bucks and unexpired Groupons totalling over $100. I have reached out to Customer Service several times and I am told I have to be logged in which is ridiculous since my account has been deleted. I have talked to the chat representatives and was told there is no telephone number to talk to a live representative. I even sent screenshots from my email address with correspondence and that has not helped.

Desired outcome: At this point I just want to be refunded the money I put into the account and I will never use Groupon again.

Groupon.com Groupon services

I was due to get married this October 2022, so I went on Groupon a purchased a chapel an a hotel. Once I purchased both I was due for a email back with more instructions on my reservation. The page told me a two hour wait for the email. As the 2 hour window passed an still no email, I kept checking my Groupon profile to see if it said available yet. Waited another hour (a total of 3 hours) by the 3rd hour I went to check my emails then my Groupon profile on app an it was all deleted without my consent. When I tried to put in my email it said that it didn’t exist. I emailed Groupon an they told me to get ahold of them in the app an never said anything again. Well if I can’t get into the app how am I suppose to get ahold of them? I’m very disappointed an sadden that this is happening a month before my wedding . Something told me to not use Groupon but my family has never had a problem like mine. I also tried calling the hotel an they claimed that the days I picked where in the computer but under someone else’s name. -all around horrible experience for us. Also have all screenshots of purchase.

Desired outcome: I need a explanation to what’s happening to my card an personal information. I want to know why my account was deleted

Groupon.com Virtual Coupons

Several businesses on Groupon do not accept their deals during COVID. Or are shut down completely. Neither of which is specified by Groupon anywhere on the website/app. I have bought several deals where the business ended up not honoring the groupon. When reaching out to the company the only solution they are offering is cash back in their own "Groupon Bucks." However, now I'm looking to close my account & would like to receive an actual refund for the almost $500 I've spent on the website without any services.

Desired outcome: Full cash refund for current account's statement of credit.

Groupon.com Unauthorized charge

I was sitting in my dining room talking with my brother at the table when my phone went off.. My bank balance went to -79.99. I then had an email pop up saying I purchased a san Diego Seaworld ticket for 79.99. I did not make this purchase. I filed a complaint, put a stop to my credit cards, changed my groupon information, and a lady responded saying that this is a FINAL SALE, NO REFUNDS. This is [censored], I don't care what it says, I DID NOT PURCHASE THESE TICKETS. I did not authorize someone else to purchase this ticket. I need someone to refund my money before I get charged an overdraft fee. I did not purchase this, I do not want it, I did not do it. Please refund me my money.

Thank You, Katharine Klapp

Desired outcome: Please give me my $79.99 back.

Groupon.com Account closed

I am emailing you as a last resort to my problem. I have had a Groupon account for many years and currently have several active Groupons that I cannot access. When tried to log on a few days ago, it said my password was wrong. When I tried to reset it, it said my email was not on file. I have chatted with representatives several times and have been emailing account specialists over the last two days. The last message said I violated your terms and so I could never use Groupon again. I am a 70 year old woman living in Kansas - a retired teacher, mother and grandmother - and I have never done anything illegal or anything to violate any Groupons. I only have used them for restaurants, spas and merchandise. I have always left positive reviews and never had any kind of problem. I think it is extremely unfair that I cannot access my paid for Groupons without any explanation. am hoping someone can assist me. Thank you.

Desired outcome: Access to my account
