You can only refund only if did not view the voucher. It just seats in your groupons and you print/ view when you want to use it. Or refund it.

That kinda defeats the purpose. What if I printed out the voucher but never used it?...

Why do you need to print it until you know that you will use it? I buy just in case and keep it unprinted until I decide.

All I'm saying is if that's the clause then it diminishes the offering of the "Anytime" refunds. Let's say I was hoping to go out with friends and use a Groupon coupon, so I print it out. Then we decide to go somewhere else. I can no longer get an "anytime refund".

They revised/removed the Groupon Promise so that:

A. they could start charging for Groupon VIP (which includes a similar feature).
B. They no longer offer a cash refund, now they just have to give you Groupon Bucks, which cost them less than giving you a cash refund.

If you have iphone or android go with your friends and when you need your groupon, just view your voucher on your phone. Reg. Groupon promisse. Did you ever try to get a refund from them? Not as simple as it sounds at all.

Groupon promise used to work, it's only after their IPO that the problems started...

First time groupon buyers can get 5 off a ten dollar gift card to shell. But absolutely no other coupons or codes etc can be used with this purchase

I hate this master thread. If I wanted to check every groupon I would just go to Groupon. A thread title let's me see if its interesting.

Deal should be grouped by what they offer, not by who offers them.

For someone to go through every deal on the groupon.com website from every city would take quite a while. Most of the deals are not of interest to DDF members. Every time there's a deal that would be of interest someone can post it here. I dont see why it bothers you to have a master thread.

they have pouches for like $30 for 6. They all seem to be ou d, however.

Only product that does not have puffed rice is ALMOND CASHEW + FLAX in cases of 72  bars. I don't know, however, if puffed rice needs to be bishul isroel, because I have no idea how it's made. Owner of the company http://www.kindsnacks.com/our-founder

Do you remember what the deals forum looked like before this thread? Every other post was a groupon 'deal', and it was mad cluttering. Grouping a deal by what's being offered isn't a terrible idea on it's own right, but you'd still need a dozen master threads for that, so when each of those has a post or two it'll clutter the other deals in the deal forum.
