I know this Living Social deal has been on for a while, but I am wondering if anyone in the Ozbargain community has used it and can explain how and if it works.
I know you have to buy a deal and then send a link to your friends. If 3 of them buy the same deal you get it for free. But since LS has already charged your credit card for it, do they reimburse your credit card or do they credit your LS account with the value for you to use on another LS deal?
Thank you to anyone that can shed some light.

    LS will credit the credit card used to make the original purchase. I have recently just completed a purchase and referred 3 friends. Right after the 3rd person made a purchase, I received an email from PayPal advising a refund from LS to my credit card registered with PayPal. Funds were credited back to my credit card within 24hrs of notice. Great deal.

      That is good. What about paying by credit card directly without paypal?

        same deal…they credit your credit card regardless if paid via paypal or credit card direct

          Thanks autumnbuy
          You show as "associate" do you work for LS?
          I think that if you buy with PayPal, Paypal will take the money out of your paypal linked credit card or bank account. Then if the refund goes to your paypal account it stays there. Paypal does not put it back on your cc or bank account

    I'd like to know how to get my money back from a failed deal, not site credit!

      Sigh. I hear ya. I bought 2 for a restaurant that then shut down… Been trawling for 2 months now hoping for something else to use "deal bucks" on. Will stick to Scoopon and Groupon from now on!

        I'm thinking I might just have to do a chargeback

    Does anyone know - if three of your friends purchase using your referral link and a discount code, will you still get yours free?
