And Groupon still make a little profit.
feel sad for the shops.
Technically it's an advertisement for them.
But I know what you mean.
Groupon and group buy websites have been around long enough for them to know the downfalls.
It's a form of advertising and advertising costs money, it's part and parcel of running a business and always has been. This is just a more recent method to bring in new business.
it puts people in the seats or shops. if they make nothing at all or lose some, its still okay.
Not to many customers will walk in to an empty restraunt or shop.
My purchase was $3.32 after the coupon but the cashback only tracked as 41c (~12.5%). I went though the shopback app so it should have been 20% :-/
Hi Underlord,
Could you please send over a private message with the email address you're using on ShopBack? We'll take a look into this for you.
I had the same issue. I've sent a message via the App, but will PM you my email too.
Hey jtb, thanks for supplying your email. This has been fixed now :)
Not to worry now, we've done some magic on our backend and it's fixed now :)
Seems it always be the case. I had this before, does not look they always pay what is the published cashback rate.
Hi ozlian,
If you believe you are getting the wrong rates for some transactions, please drop us a private message with the details and the email address you're using on ShopBack and we can fix it up.
Is that 20% on travel/accommodation too?
Hi chenkrys,
Yes this applies to travel/accommodation too!
But maximum discount $40? $40 cash back discount or $40 total with Groupon code itself?
Thanks
Hi Edsanwong,
The maximum $40 discount applies to the Groupon coupon code discount itself, the cashback itself isn't capped.
Time to switch to shopback from cr
i know SB will always (or most of the time) fixed issues if we reported them, but to be honest CR has less issue.
SB, you really should hire more programmers and do testings before releasing codes. cant be that hard to do random tests? make sure the code working, the % is correct, etc.
Which costs more $$ meaning lower rewards for us!
Any chance to post the validity? today's only?
Hi hanofee,
This is valid till tomorrow.
Wow, really thinking of signing up today.
Hi rep
Why does the discount not change for multiple quantities of the same item?
My discount is remaining the same for 1 item or for 4 of the same.
Hi deveshwar0,
As listed in Groupon's terms the code only works on one item at a time. You'll need to checkout in separate transactions. Remember to click through ShopBack again each time you're making a new transaction.
Terms here for reference:
Enter code at checkout. Cannot be used with another discount promo. Discount will be applied to a single voucher in a transaction. Unlimited redemptions per customer (across separate transactions). Maximum discount of $40.
I've noticed when I call the company for additional information and I say "going to buy through groupon" 90% of them are like…. don't buy through groupon, just pay when you get here". Thinking groupon charges them alot if a customer pays online.
Groupon take about 33-35% from what I have been told so fair enough as it is already a significant discount already. Many dont realise we that get additiinal discounts through groupon and cashback site though
Most of the businesses only get a few return customers through groupings either.
Damn missed it! Waiting for this bargain to come up again =)
20 and 15 percent disc, that's a lot
