  • Does it matter what city you by it for? Afterall there are only a few stores in the list that are not participating.

    I get daily emails for Edinburgh and Glasgow and I live in Dunfermline. I clicked and 'bought' 2 vouchers from the Glasgow page instead of Edinburgh (though I would not be travelling to Edinburgh as Dunfermline store is closest) so will this makes any difference what city you buy from- surley it will be a standard voucher we get sent through and will not list the specific stores within the city????
  • I bought from bath but we live in salisbury so was wondering the same thing? Will be watching this thread closely as not bought from groupon before so used paypal to pay.

    Also if I go to my groupon account I have 3 vouchers pending with the message: Asked for deal, payment method to be verified

    I did have multiple attempts to pay with paypal but as far as I am concerned only one went through, anyone else have this?

    Yes, 25 times!! Gettng a bit worried now. This was before I put my paypal password in though so hoping it doesn't mean anything.

    I don't get it either! money for 1 voucher went out of my paypal account 1 hour ago but still no email to confirm or voucher number.

    It does say that the voucher will be e-mailed to you once the deal is closed.

    Hey everyone,

    Never used Groupon before, can anyone tell me what happens if you buy a deal from a City that you dont live in?

    Pants to bodyshop who are offering a free £5 body butter if you spend an extra £10, what about those people who dont like body butters?
    p.s. thanks to the person who found this out for us.

    Impossible!!! :rotfl:

  • im a little bit worried now!
    mine said this
    "Deal accepted, waiting for the necessary number of customers."
    iv had a flick thru the past couple of pages on this to find if someone else had mentioned it but i didnt see it! (possibly missed it)

    has anyone ever had any experience with getting that message before on either this deal or others?

    I am a bit worried too - I wanted a voucher for Oxford, but I didn't notice the list of cities at the top of the page, and I don't even know which city I bought one for! I had just registered so hopefully the site would have automatically directed me to Oxford but I don't know.

    EDit - I had an email from Groupon, they say it doesn't matter where you buy the voucher, they are valid in all participating shops. Phew!:D
