Groupon – Deals & Coupons

What is Groupon – Deals & Coupons?

The Groupon mobile app allows deal-lovers to search and grab deals on-the-go, directly from their mobile device. With Groupons, users can save up to 70 percent with deals for local restaurants, fitness, activities and travel.

The Groupon app is rated for users twelve years and older, and is free to download and use; while the app does not feature advertisements, such as banner ads, the platform is meant to advertise businesses and attractions.

 
 Users search the Groupon app by zip code and can either perform a keyword search if looking for a deal for a specific place or search by category.

The Groupon app is especially helpful when traveling or vacationing as users can pull up any deals available for the area they’re visiting as well as add restaurants and activities to their itinerary with significant savings.

Groupon users should be careful to read business reviews off of the site, from another reputable site, such as Yelp, to get an accurate feel for the business. Groupon users have expressed concern for the reviews listed on the site, some going so far to say that the reviews listed are fake and misleading.

Keeping in mind that the site reviews can be misleading, it’s important to note that the Groupon app also offers Groupon Goods and Groupon Getaways.

Groupon Goods functions a lot like Zulilly where users can shop merchant items through the app, purchasing at a discounted rate directly from the manufacturer. Groupon Goods, in this sense, is simply doing marketing for the company by offering a “deal”.

 
Groupon Getaways offers travel discounts for hotels, cruises and resorts.

Again, it is recommended that you check third party reviews before purchasing these “deals”.

Apart from some dicey deals, there are some great values to be found on the Groupon app, specifically in terms of activities. Museum and sightseeing discounts are pretty reliable, and can help add to a vacation itinerary without breaking the bank.
