Groupon back-pedals on Windows 8 Pro deal

Cancel the damn deal and complain to your bank so you can get the charge reversed...

Why the hell are people just going "Oh well, I guess I learnt a lesson"... you have options to get your money back, ESPECIALLY because Groupon lied.

I agree. In the past I complaint with Groupon until they refunded me.

Bought from them twice and both times, I was unhappy. Wouldn't buy from them again.

It's easier to lodge a dispute with your credit card company than trying to get a refund from groupcon, they don't respond to email, and don't answer their phones.
 
Groupon must get reported to the agency that handles false advertising.

They blatantly lied again. How many times will people fall for their BS though?

Won't help, ASA will state its a civil matter, and if they even do rule in your favour, the deal will be long over.

(I tried before with their continued false advertising of delivery times, where 4 weeks becomes 12 weeks or longer.)
 
I've tried the ASA before with Groupon and their fake iPod Nanos...

Nothing happens, the ASA feks around and then rules in Groupons favour.
 
Under the CPA should Groupon not be obliged to honor this price?

Honour what price? The problem isn't the price - its the fact that they advertised a FULL install (which isn't currently available) - and are selling an UPGRADE.

Sorry that's what I meant a future upgrade if and when it becomes available.
 
I was just about to remove all trace of Groupon from my life, when I got an email from them for a two-for-the-price-of-one at an expensive pizza place in PE. Decent. Bought 7 coupons. Think I'll keep them around a bit longer.

Tbh I'd rather eat a home-made cheese sandwich than give them my money again, no matter how fancy the pizza.
 
Glad to say, Groupon refunded me on my CC within 4 days without any issues. So at least that went well.
 
I don't need GroupOn, got a nice link from MyBB & bought Windows 8 Pro (Upgrade) for R130.

So, to summarize, there are much better "deals" to be had on MyBB. :D
 
Just had my hail-damaged car properly fixed in less than 30 minutes for R250 the day after it happened, thanks to a Groupon voucher I bought a while back. No complaints from me.

But in fairness to the OP, this is a different matter.

Well guess what? Went with my family for cheap pizza courtesy of Groupon, and discovered that the savings weren't anywhere close to 50%. At least I learned to stay away from Groupon while saving some money.
