Local Deals
One neat little thing that they do is instead of focusing mostly or entirely on deals with large chain stores or restaurants they offer the opportunity to save money on many local places that are your typical mom & pop type small stores! They offer these deals for a very wide range of goods and services like restaurants, golf, bowling, theme park, and many other goods and services that are sold in a store near you!
How to use their vouchers to save money!
Once you’ve found a product or service that you are interested in and have bothered to purchase it through them, you still need to actually redeem it in order to receive your purchase if it wasn’t an online product or something that is shipped to you. When you go to the merchant for whatever item you purchased you need to show them your voucher, whether you printed it or use the mobile app to show it. If you didn’t print it, use the mobile app and go to the “My Stuff” section. Then, press “My Groupons” to show all of your available vouchers. Press the offer you want to redeem and then on “View Voucher”.
Show the voucher to the merchant and they will redeem and provide you with whatever product or service you purchased. They sometimes provide extra savings on certain items you can apply an extra coupon of theirs. You can also further increase your savings by making the purchase by doing it from another app like Ibotta or Samsung Pay that regularly gives cashback deals on certain categories of goods sold on there.
