Is Cashrewards still having problems with Groupon?

I made a pretty large purchase a few months ago on Groupon through CR despite seeing other people having issues and of course, turns out that I did as well. Cashrewards sent me the same email they look like they send everyone, mentioning Adblockers (all turned off, I know the drill guys!) or other cashback programs (definitely didn't use one of those) or clicking away from the page when making my purchase (out of paranoia I specifically made sure I immediately checked out because I was so sure that the complaints were misattributed user error but now it's happened to me, I'm furious). Or that I used an off-site coupon (nope, just the one I found on the CR page).

I'm suspicious that this is GROUPON'S fault, maybe something they do with large orders so they don't have to pony up the money, but I have no evidence for that. All I know is if I knew the sale wasn't going to be validated, I wouldn't have purchased in the first place..

It was Black Friday or something and the half a dozen or so sales from different websites I made on that day all got processed just fine through CR. Except mysteriously the big ticket item from Groupon. Like out of all the purchases I made the correct way, I somehow only fumbled the ball on the biggest one.

Has anyone else had this happen to them with Groupon specifically?

    For big amount purchase, just contact the business and quote the price you would like to pay for the same service on Groupon.

    Groupon takes 30-40% cut so that most business may agree to skip the middleman, especially if you speak to the owner directly.

      I actually asked this of the place I got the groupon for and she said she would be fine to honor that price the next time I go too. Good tip!

    Hi Dju. Are you please able to turn on messaging in your settings and shoot me through a PM with your CR email address. I’d like to check a few things with your clicks to Groupon. Thanking you in advance :)

    Thanks to TA, got this sorted and groupon finally acknowledged the purchase. For anyone looking at this post in the future though, think hard about whether you are relying on a huge cashback from Groupon to make the deal worthwhile, I know I'm probably not gonna use Groupon again..
