Top Rated Groupon Alternatives
I love the user interface and easy search results when using Groupon - it helps to break discounts down by category and is always super lively to look at. All your discounts in one place? Count me in! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Groupings pages can seem a little jumbled at time and have a lot of information crunched down into small boxes - having layout options would be super useful but otherwise it functions well and performs exactly how it should. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

absolutely nothing. I have had horrible experiences. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I purchased a groupon 2 months prior to being able to use it for a horse and carriage ride when I took my mom on a trip to New York. We followed all the rules and made an appointment. When we arrived they weren't there and wanted me to come back a few hours later, which wasn't possible due to our tight itineary, so we paid DOUBLE for a different ride and then I tried to get my money back. Groupon has this absolutely RIDICULOUS policy that it's only refunded after three days! Well it was 2 months later because I'm a planner and now I'm out the money and have to spend it with you because your policy is THREE DAYS. WHO USES ALL THEIR GROUPONS IN THREE DAYS!? You can rest assured that I WILL NEVER USE YOUR SERVICE AGAIN after I redeem my "refund" Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Groupon is a platform where new and established vendors (for physical products and services) offer their products at a reduced price to new customers. I discovered groupon 10 years ago, when it was virtually unknown where I lived. I have since used it to get to know- and test/compare- offers in my area for a reduced price, budget for food whilst traveling, as well as discover and try new activities and services fairly risk-free.
Groupon sites exist for many countries, the UK, the US and so on. When I travel to a new country that has groupon, I first check out activities that I dont know as yet, or look for reduced movie tickets, when I have a bit of spare time. I also buy restaurant coupons. A failry new feature, at least for me, are the coupons- generic reductions on sites like viator for new clients. Also an exellent feature, and I will soon have my first viator tour 30% reduced thanks to groupon!
Since I am also a Local Guide on Google Maps, and occasionally make youtube videos, groupon has also allowed me to discover things that do not exist in my country, and cover them.
They have recently also made the "give back" feature a lot smoother.Exchanging or cancelling groupon vouchers used to be more difficult, now you just cancel and it credits your account with the value. Summarizing: I love Groupon! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
They have recently improved many features that were not so consumer friendly, like the option to credit and cancel an already purchased coupon, so nothing comes to mind really. I am satisfied. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
You can find a discount coupon or deal for almost each and every e-commerce website on Groupons. Also, Groupon's strength is its emphasis on promoting local businesses. By featuring deals from nearby establishments, it encourages users to discover and support businesses within their communities, contributing to the local economy.

Most of the time the discount code is expired or invalid. Also, Interacting with Groupon's customer support can be a bit unpredictable. Although they do provide channels to help users with their concerns, it can be difficult to get a satisfactory resolution or timely assistance. This can leave users feeling frustrated or like their concerns aren't being properly addressed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
A wide range of offers and discounts are available on Groupon in many categories. I enjoy having the chance to find new local establishments and sample novel experiences for less money. Finding and redeeming offers is made simple by the user-friendly website and app. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Deals can include exclusions or limits, such as limited availability or deadlines for redemption. More clarity on these restrictions would be beneficial to prevent misunderstanding or dissatisfaction. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Groupon has so many different deals to choose from. I have purchased a mani/pedi and online courses using Groupon. I really recommend this to anyone who wants to save money. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Some of the programs that you purchase are only a trial offer. I paid $5 for a fitness app and was asked to pay tge full price of the app after three months. Also, there are not enough services in my area. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Simple to use, variety of offers, variety of locality. That is good description for the offer and frequent offer too. You can activate the mailing list and how update are sent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Some time offer's conditions are not very clear and then you can purchase the service and finally can't exploit it because the vendre has defined specific conditions which are not available Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
They offer AMAZING discounts/coupons for specific services and products. I wanted to go skydiving for the first time, and they had a great deal I could use. This helped me decide to go for it and saved me a good amount of money on my skydive. They also offer many usable coupons such as oil changes, restaurants, bowling, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I noticed that many coupons are repetitive, and while they are helpful, it would be nice to see some new ones occasionally. Besides that, I have no complains since it's been a very helpful tool for me to get great deals! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Groupon has a variety of deals that can also be localized to where you are. This is especially helpful if you are travelling to a different city in the US. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
When buying products, you need to read the very fine print for returns. The return process is cumbersome and sometimes just not worth it. Buyer beware. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I love Groupon because whether you're looking for a good deal on a product, or if in need of a service, they have it all! The app is very easy to use. Usually, there are a multitude of options in different locations as well for those services. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
My main dislike is the redundancy with services. Seems when you're looking for a service, there will be several to choose from that are very similar... it'd be nice if some of the options would have different variations to make each one stand out. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
