All Groupons
If I don't use the full value of the Groupon in one visit, can I use the remainder later?
No, but we try to design Groupons to be about the value of a trip to the business.
How long do I have to wait to use my Groupon once I've purchased it?
You can use most Groupons the day after you purchase them - our featured businesses typically request we hold back the masses on the first day while they see to the phones.
You can print your Groupon as soon as your order is processed, which typically happens a few minutes after placing your order, but can take up to a few hours if we're slammed (we'll email you when your Groupon is ready).
Can I combine this Groupon with other offers?
Nope, including discounts and specials (unless the business tells you otherwise).
Can I give this Groupon as a gift?
Yes - you can give your Groupon to whoever you want, or use the gifting options to email or print it for a friend.
The fine print says "Limit 1 per person" and "May buy multiples as gifts." Can I buy myself some Groupons as gifts to myself and use more than one?
No. If the fine print says this, you can only redeem one. If you buy more than one then you have to give them away as gifts to other people.
Restaurant Groupons
Can I use this for alcohol?
Yes, and enjoy! (Unless the Fine Print explicitly says you can't, in which case, well, you can't. Sorry.)
Will this include tax and tip?
No - restaurant deals never include tax and tip. And for Pete's sake, remember to tip on the pre-Groupon price!
