4/3/20

Me and my friends booked a hotel in New York City for a weekend in April before the Covid-19 pandemic. After NY announced a state of emergency/stay-at-home order, we contacted Groupon to let them know we will be cancelling our hotel reservation. They let us know that we needed to contact the merchant (hotel) to see if they will honor the refund which they were happy to honor given NY's current state. After informing Groupon that the hotel was ok with refunding us, they then asked us to instead move our dates. After many back and forth emails with Groupon, they went back on their original word and refused to give any type of refund or credit because we had exceeded the window in which this could be processed' after 3 weeks of communication with their customer service team. Their only solution was to move our dates knowing that we are completely unsure of when it will be safe to travel to New York in the foreseeable future.
It was completely disappointing that Groupon was unwilling to work with their customers during an already confusing and difficult time. Even after the hotel was willing to work with us and agreed to provide a refund, Groupon was contradictory in their word. The inconsistency in the customer service was not only confusing but extremely frustrating.
It is very likely that I will never be using Groupon again and especially to book any hotels.
