    Does not seem to doubling up now? It says £2 for £2? Am I missing something?

    Found what I was missing!!!

    Donations will be matched pound-for-pound up to the total overall value of £70,000

    I want to join groupon to take advantage of this. Before I go ahead, is there any kind of bonus / offer that I should know about for new members.

    fab idea - thanks for posting - have shared it on hukds (naming you as finding the deal) so more people might donate - thanks

    I put it on there but it was removed as they don't allow any 'deals' supporting charities. Utterly ridiculous, the mods on there can be rather annoying at times!

    If you get a referral the person referring you gets a £6 bonus to spent at Groupon in the future.
    Also cash back at Groupon is 6%, there's no mention this is exempt from that but I personally wouldn't mind if it doesn't track on this occasion.

    Groupon are offering to double all donations up to £70k for the Red Cross disaster relief for the next 28 hours:

    Not the usual consumerist grabbit (which I'm partial to myself!) but it will double any donation you want to make and maybe give you a warm fuzzy feeling at trying to help in some small way.:A

    It's a great deal, but I posted it on here last night:

    Good on Groupon for doing it.
