Recently a person in Chicago that I talk to online asked me if I had Groupon
because he just signed up for it. I had seen the name but didn't think to
look at it. This person is a lawyer and very cautious by nature so I
assumed if he did it, it must be a good deal.

So I took a peek. Not for me for starters because the coupons would most
likely be for Seattle proper and I never go there. Also it was not as he
said for stores and things but mainly for services such as salons, and for
various events like sports. Apparently there are some restaurant coupons
there as well.

The catch? You don't just get the coupon. You have to BUY it! Say what?
But it gets worse. You can't just buy it outright. You sign up for it and
if enough other people sign up to buy, you can get it.

However, I also checked the various review sites. Soooo many complaints
both by the businesses who lost money on them and customers who were far
less than satisfied. Often they bought coupons that were useless because
the businesses refused to honor them. Sounded like a real scam.

There were a few people who claimed to love them. But they were probably
shills.

Business who lost money issued too many coupons. They are obviously
not good business people. If a business refused to honor the coupon,
*obviously* it had expired. You have something like a year (12
months) to use it. It's clearly explained. I'm surprised you're so
indignant about this! Groupon is the best known, but there are *many*
others.

Groupon is not a problem. Think about buying a meal at auction only
you know how much your going to pay for it from the beginning. They
set a "reserve" number of Groupons that people need to reserve before
it kicks in. Buy a $10 Groupon to pay for a $25 meal. I don't do
those sorts of things, but many people do and it's not a problem
unless you never use it. Same goes with meals you'd buy at a charity
auction.

There must be something to it as the creator turned down some
outrageous buyout offer from Google. I mean billions.

Google May Acquire Groupon for $6 Billion, and It Would Be Worth Every
Penny


Forget the rumor that Google acquired Groupon for $2.5 billion; the search
giant is about to close a deal for the group-buying service for a whopping
$5.3 billion to $6 billion, according to multiple reports.

It would be worth every penny.

The deal is worth $5.3 billion with an additional $700 million earnout
based on performance, according to All Things D. The New York Times
reports that a deal could be completed as soon as this week. With a price
tag almost double that of DoubleClick, Google’s biggest acquisition to
date, there are still plenty of ways for this deal to fall apart.

Earlier this year, Yahoo tried to snag the group-buying company, but
failed. Google, with its $30+ billion cash reserve, reportedly then
offered Groupon $3 billion to $4 billion. However, it was rebuffed, so the
tech giant upped its offer.

Groupon pioneered the group-buying model through its deal-of-the-day
business model. Launched in November 2008, the company has grown from an
offshoot of ThePoint to a multi-billion dollar empire with thousands of
employees worldwide. In April 2010, Groupon raised $135 million from
Digital Sky Technologies, setting its value at over $1 billion.

If the Google deal does go through at a $6 billion valuation, that would
mean that Groupon’s value has grown by more than $625 million per month or
more than $20.8 million per day. That skyrocketing value is simply
mindboggling.

He thinks it has a lot more possibilities. I'm thinking, Dude, take

I thought..... "I'd take the money, buy an Island and just kick back for the
rest of my life. Maybe start an International Security Contractors business,
open a couple or 17 deli's, buy a couple of farms and run black faced sheep,
Berkshire pigs, and Dexter cows........"

You could do a lot with $6b !!!

Text messages are another charge with Verizon. I turned it off
because other than texts once or twice a year from my kids and niece,
the only messages I got were from Verizon trying to sell me something.
It was an easy $3 to lop off my monthly bill.

I use Groupon. I've saved a bunch of money. They actually had one to
my favorite restaurant last week. $10 for $20 of food. Not quite
that much savings for us as I buy a few hundred dollars of gift certs
a year, and they offer $120 credit for every $100.

Day before yesterday we found that one place we bought a Groupon for
several months ago went out of business. We need to get credit from
Groupon for that unusable one.

I use Groupon, Living Social, and CrowdCut. The savings is enough to
get us to try new restaurants we'd never otherwise hear of and/or get
to. <shrug> And sometimes they provide a good deal to a place we
already frequent. I've never been stung, though I HAVE let one expire
before I used it. Drat. Now I set reminders on my calendar, starting
about 6 weeks before the expiration. I've found no downside to any of
them.

Yeah, like 6 of 'em. LOL! Good for them!

I use the first two, and our version of CrowdCut is St. Louis Post-

The whole thing is unsustainable. More and more the USA economy is

I've had good experiences too. I've bought opera tickets, biycle
tuneups, dog wash coupons for those DIY hound laundry places :-) Really
fabulous deals, all. No disasters.

I've used the Aussie version about 6 times now, and saved well over
$1,000.00

It's all about businesses selling their product at a reduced rate (and
certain number) so that hopefully they garner some return business from
the people who buy the vouchers.

I bought Entertainment books twice. I did manage to get my money back with
grocery store money off coupons, but there were no other coupons I would
ever use. The places they were for were just too far away for me to be
interested. So why did I buy them? One was through my daughter's school
and the other was through a local business I wanted to support.

I have no need for restaurant coupons. We tend to dine at the same places
and often just side dishes so a coupon wouldn't apply.

I received a Groupon coupon for an ethnic restaurant from our daughter
as part of my birthday gift. The restaurant owner gave us back the
coupon after subtracting it from our bill, and said "Use it again
whenever you want, no expiration. Copy and give it to your friends."

Too bad the food wasn't great enough to hurry back for, because that was
a pretty good offer.
