groupon?

quintwins

sorry if this is the wrong place

can someone explain groupon to me what does it mean when it says

if the deal doesn't tip you won't be charged?

also it says you can only buy 1 but more as gifts so can i buy 2 for my 2 brothers?

*Scottish*Lass*

I've only just joined groupon (for the Bodyshop voucher) but it's my understanding that 'tip' means if they don't have the right amount of applicants? I think they must have to meet a target before they can sell the deal.

As for the only buying one but more as gifts - from what I understand that means the vouchers would go to the recipients email address and be under their name as a voucher, do perfect for presents.

Not sure where the best place is to ask this TBH, but if it's not right then someone will move it for you

thank you, i recemmended my mum and got her to buy one (there are for my bro's afterall) but it says the £6 i got for recommending her is delayed whats that all about? this is very confusing lol, all this to send 2 ungrateful teenaers go karting lol

I don't think you get the £6 until the voucher is spent as you get 7 days to return the voucher (unspent obv.) and get your money back, so if they gave you the £6 then the voucher was returned and refunded they'd lose out

Sorry to hijack a thread but it was the only one that came up when I searched and I wasn't sure where to start a new one.

I have just bought my first Groupon (for a haircut in Birmingham) and was just looking at the 'universal rukes' which apply to all groupons:

One of the rules says:

How much should I tip when I redeem my Groupon?
Please tip on the full amount of the pre-discounted bill.


I'm confused, are we supposed to tip them too?

Only if you normally would- it's basically just reminding you that a tip isn't included. So if you would normally tip a hairdresser, and you're happy with the "do" then tip them.

I had a groupon "do" a while back but I didn't tip as I found the salon incredibly unhelpful with booking- no appointments for groupon but could fit me in anytime if I paid full price....and I also didn't agree with being charged £5 for straighteners when I wasn't told there was a charge. My normal hairdressers don't charge for straightening, and wherever I've been before, will always tell you about additional charges. So I didn't tip.

Restaurant deals however, ,we've tipped as we've had some great meals.

Ah right that makes sense thanks. Charging for straightening is shocking. I would have hoped that would have been included in the 'finish'. Hope mine is lol.

Er, yes groupons work- you buy the deal and as long as the minimum needed are bought, you get emailed the voucher. If you look on the referrals board you can get someone £6 for joining through their link- and for anyone you refer you can then get £6 also in credit.
