I purchased a voucher from LivingSocial for a $20 voucher at *** for movie rentals. I followed the instructions to register/redeem the voucher at *** online. However, when I entered the voucher # and pin I was given from LivingSocial, I received an error code saying that the voucher had no balance. Apparently, I spent $12. to buy a $0. voucher. For several months, I have been emailing LivingSocial in order to get this resolved with absolutely no progress. I have copies of all the emails I have sent and received. They apparently have no phone number to contact them and the emails I have sent generate generic responses that don't address the issue and, blame it on ***. I asked that they either refund the money I spent or reissue the voucher with a valid amount on it. They said it's against their policy to refund my money as I purchased a voucher that was a final sale and they said they couldn't reissue the voucher either since they concluded it was *** fault. Either way, I paid for something I didn't get and they refuse to help me. I have talked to *** 3 times and they have told me that LivingSocial (which is now Groupon) generates the codes for redemption and that they have no way of helping me as they don't generate the codes needed. I realize that this is not a king's ransom in monetary terms, I just want what I paid for and I'm tired of getting the run-around from LivingSocial.

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID, and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me.
Sincerely
This complaint involves a customer service and product issue. I purchased a Livingsocials coupon that didn't work after the expiration. It was worth over 100 dollars, but after the reservations it was reduced to about 60 dollars. I have tried several times using the promo, I've contacted the Jus Juice company, and I have e-mailed Livingsocials about it several times. The last e-mail stated if I didn't get satisfaction, to contact them as the last resort. I followed the steps and no satisfactory results as of yet.

Just so you're aware, after 3 days from purchase, we only issue refunds if there is an unresolvable issue with the business. Keeping that in mind, I'm certainly willing to *** if you're having trouble using your voucher; I just need to know a bit more about what's happening.Thank you again for your patience, and please let me know if you have any other questions.Thanks,***SupervisorGroupon Customer Support
Purchased a voucher for services at a salon. The phone number listed is not to the salon but to an indivi6that says she does not work for that company and does not accept living social vouchers, nor has she ever been affiliated with living social.I have emailed living social as there are no phone numbers to contact anyone and I never get a response.

I purchased a Living Social deal for *** of America on September 24th, 2015 for $339. I attempted to use my voucher. The first time I went to use it my balloon ride was cancelled. The next time I tried to use it the balloon company denied me being able to use it. They stated it was because of an unrelated balloon accident across the country. This was extremely frustrating but they extended the expiration date on the voucher due to this issue. The next time I went to use this voucher I was unable to because the company has disappeared. There was no way to contact them and venders had not received their money. I had been unsuccessful with any contact to them too. I had contacted the Revdex.com when I started to have problems but then they were unable to do anything once the company had disappeared. I contacted Living Social on 3 occasions. Twice I was told that my issue was being forwarded to management but I was never contacted again. I had another online chat with them today and I was told that I couldn't get a refund because I was past the expiration date of the voucher. However, due to the circumstances there is no instance where I would have been able to utilize the voucher I paid for or receive my refund. I find it unethical and unfair that I am not allowed a refund when I was refused the ability to use my voucher. Since the balloon company extended the expiration date of the voucher , this was past the deadline for me to receive the refund from Living Social. However, I wouldn't have contacted Living Social for a refund at this point because I was still under the impression I would be able to redeem my voucher and was not expecting for the balloon company to disappear, leaving me with no voucher and no refund. I would like to resolve this issue with the company by receiving a refund for what I paid for the voucher, $339

For about a year, I received many promotional emails from LivingSocial regarding its "Restaurants Plus" program. Under the program, I was promised 100% cash back (for various amounts) for purchases made at certain restaurants. I've tried to contact LivingSocial multiple times through several means, but still have not received approximately $70 in cash back, as promised by LivingSocial under its terms. I spoke to *** of Customer Service in the Fall of 2016, and she said she would process the refund for the missing the cash back. I sent her all of the transaction information via email and through LivingSocial's Help webform (as she instructed) to no avail. I've contacted LivingSocial via email, phone and social media, numerous times since then, but I have yet to receive response other than, "we can't do anything." It's been almost 1.5 years, and LivingSocial still hasn't paid the cash back it promised.
Hello ***

Regarding your complaint: I apologize for the trouble you have experienced with Restaurants Plus Program.
I have reviewed your request and have issued $70.00 in Deal Bucks to your account. This credit will never expire, so take as much time as you need to use it. Unfortunately, since its been over a year and half since this issue began we would not be able to issue this amount back to your credit card.
I’ve provided more specific instructions in my direct email to you. If you have any additional questions, please reply to me there.
Thank you for your understanding.

I don’t believe that this company fairly advertises their expiration dates when making a purchase. Purchased a voucher and thought that it was still good, and when I went to use it today I found out it already expired two months ago. Which was like just one month after purchasing it. When I contacted them they wouldn’t even consider extending the expiration date or refunding me my money. Therefore I have paid money for absolutely nothing. I believe their business model is inappropriately trying to trick people out of their money so that they can make a cut on giving vendors cash for no product or service in return. This just does not seem right.

Complaint: ***
I am rejecting this response because: While I definitely appreciate the response, it was in the fine print and I don’t believe it is made very visible to customers. I also do not wish to have store credit as I will not use the services again. So I am respectfully requesting a refund. Additionally in the confirmation email that I received there is no expiration date. I would highly recommend that you add that to your messages back to customers so that when they refer to their email to use their purchase it’s clear it has an expiration date. I hope my feedback is helpful to the company for further business with other prospective customers.
Sincerely

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID, and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me. I appreciate the follow up to provide a full refund and have seen the funds deposited. Additionally, I still would recommend to the company that you emphasize expiration dates to reduce confusion to consumers for your sake (I.e., this info to the receipt and confirmation emails etc. ). I appreciate your patience with me as I truly did not see the expiration date and appreciate your time.
Sincerely
I purchased a Groupon for an 8:00 PM performance, and received a voucher for an 11:30 PM performance. I did not want to miss the deal, so I went to LivingSocial to buy it there since Groupon had made an error. (I submitted a complaint in that case, as well; ***)
However, just like with Groupon (I have since learned they are owned by the same company, which may explain the same error), when I got my LivingSocial voucher, it said the event was at 11:30 PM. I did not select an 11:30 PM show, nor was an 11:30 PM show advertised. I have pictures (which I sent to LivingSocial) of the voucher I purchased, and the incorrect voucher I received. One picture is the screenshot of the page where I bought the LivingSocial (clearly stating that it starts at 8:00 PM), and the other is the confirmation which indicates the show is at 11:30 PM.
I just want my money back, but LivingSocial refuses because tickets are nonrefundable. I would not need my money back if I had received the 8:00 PM tickets, but I did not receive the item I purchased.

I purchased an allergy/nutrition test through Living Social (a 3rd party coupon website). The voucher was for results with Allergy Test Laboratory. I submitted my samples to the company and waited for their advertised "comprehensive results". The results were inaccurate-based on recent blood work that I had, and not comprehension or sufficient. Listed indicators for allergens were uncommon, unknown items. I contacted the company directly to express my concerns with the service and request a refund of the service paid. We continued sending emails back and forth with them directing me to Living Social. A representative indicated that Living Social would contact them and they would agree to a refund request. However, upon contacting Living Social via a chat I was told that no refund was available.
Hi Sharmia, Thank you for reaching out to us through the Revdex.com. I have reviewed your most recent comment and all internal LivingSocial correspondence. I responded to you a moment ago via email from [email protected] your complaint with the Allergy Test voucher, we appreciate you raising this concern to our attention that results differ from the recent blood test you had. We didn't mean this to cause you confusion,Please be advised that we put most of the pertinent information in the Fine Print section, and we also include other resources. As stated in the Fine Print of this deal: "The test does not measure type IgE allergies.”Results may have differed since an immunoglobulin test measures the level of certain immunoglobulins, or antibodies, in the blood compared to the test you had which uses hair as a sample. I hope that we are able to clarify your concernRegarding to you desired settlement, we apologize but any redeemed voucher is not eligible for refund. For any local deals, please be advised that Merchant’s are solely responsible to purchasers for the care and quality of the advertised goods and services. We definitely appreciate your time and feedback for this would help us improve our services.I’ve provided more specific instructions in my direct email to you. If you have any additional questions, please reply to me there.Thank you for your understanding.Regards, Daniel B.ManagerGroupon Customer Support
Two days ago I paid $425 dollars for a airfare and hotel voucher for a vacation to Venice. The website tells you to redeem these vouchers in 2 days so I quickly clicked the links to activate. Then the website told me to go to the affiliated travel merchant's website and once I did the 2 vouchers for my partner and I that I had purchased were coming up invalid.
After that, I emailed living social's customer service and they told me they couldn't offer refund for invalid codes as they had been redeemed. I tried to explain that I paid and received nothing for my money and they told me there was nothing they could do.
I've also contacted and created a dispute with paypal.com since that was the method of payment and yet livingsocial has not responded on the dispute claims either.

I have been a LivingSocial customer since they opened in 2012, when I purchased a few vouchers from them. I have not made purchases since, but chose to keep my account active.
About a week or so ago, I signed in to view some items and made several purchases. Shortly after I received multiple emails stating that my purchases were being refunded and that I can view messages regarding why on my account. When I attempted to log in to my account, I was denied access. I reset my password but was still denied, and notified that my "account does not exist."
There are no telephone numbers to reach anyone to discuss, and emails prove to be futile. I explained that they are asking for EVERY purchase I made and the credit cards it was made with. I made several purchases, over 20 vouchers, and with multiple credit cards because some purchases were declined at times.
I requested a call back to discuss as it would be easier to confirm all the information via phone, they attempted one time, and left me a voicemail with NO phone number to call back. When I requested they retry to call me back, I was told that they cannot schedule a callback for me and I would have to log in to my account to request a call - the account which was clearly explained that THEY have deactivated.
They do not seem to be concerned with resolving the issue, which understandably is their concern for potential fraud. However, when it was not fraud, it is truly frustrating for the customer (ME) to not be able to have the matter resolved!

Purchased a $40 voucher through LivingSocial for $15. Expiration date of voucher was August 1st, 2017, but LivingSocial and the contract Instacart signs states the voucher is still good for the purchase price after the expiration date. Attempted to use voucher for the $15, but Instacart's site wouldn't accept the code. Contacted Instacart's customer service and requested a new $15 code to be issued and dealt with 7-8 different CS agents who couldn't solve the issue and instead gave me the runaround.
After trying to deal with Instacart, I contacted LivingSocial and have not received any response from them.
At this point all I want is a $15 cash refund since this company doesn't appear to be able to function effectively. _______ Instacart Good for $15 towards: $40 Value The promotional period for your deal "$40 Value" ended August 1, 2017. The amount paid ($15.00) will never expire and may be applied toward the original goods or services specified on this voucher.

I purchased an online deal for an acne treatment. The deal did not describe what the acne treatment was but specified a particular salon. I found out it was for a facial which goes against the medical advice of my doctor who only wants certain products used on my face. Also, the person doing the facials is not with the salon advertised. So the deal was misleading as well. Even though the person doing the facial agreed to cancel the deal, living social will not. I did an "online chat" with a supervisor who said there was no one higher than him that I could speak with.

I purchased 4 tickets using a promo code. The promo stated 25% discount up to $50. My discount was only applied to 1 of the 4 tickets. I had an online chat with *** that told me I was correct and discount would've been applied but was needed to be done individually. I asked for a supervisor to assist and apply the discount since I qualified at the time of purchase. *** came on the line and said he couldn't apply discount. I do not feel this is good business practice since it was tricky to apply the discount. Basic customer service would be to honor what I qualified for at the time of purchase. Please advise.

I purchased tickets to *** Group from Livingsocial.com. I purchased the tickets from my cell phone. The information displayed on my cell phone was apparently not all the same information as the full website (according to living social's customer service). The fine print did not include an age restriction. Apparently individuals under the age of 5 are not permitted in the theater. Half my group is under the age of 5. HAD THAT IMPORTANT INFORMATION BEEN AVAILABLE, I WOULD NOT HAVE PURCHASED THE TICKETS. A "final sale" cannot be final if pertinent information is omitted, whether intentional or not. It is not the consumer's job to ensure the text of a merchant's website translates properly across all mediums. I have photographic proof, overlapping screen shots, showing that the age restriction was not on displayed on my phone under the fine print section. I reached out several times to living social without avail.

Complaint: ***
I am rejecting this response because: as previously stated MANY TIMES, the information available on the webpage while purchasing on the iPhone DID NOT include the age restriction information under the “what you’ll get”. I have photographs, overalapping screenshots of the information that was provided and displayed.

Hello ***Thank you for reaching out to us through the Revdex.com. I have reviewed your most recent comment and all internal LivingSocial correspondence. I responded to you a moment ago via email from ***@livingsocial.com.Regarding your concern, we reviewed our deal page on a mobile device and we were able to confirm that the age restriction cannot be located nor indicated on our Fine Print. We will raise this concern to our account specialist to avoid confusion to valued customers like you. We apologize for any trouble that this may have caused you. This is not the kind of experience we want you to get from LivingSocial.We investigate further regarding the age restriction set by the merchant and from their FAQ https://www.blueman.com/faq, under "What is the appropriate age to bring my child to the theater?". Please be informed that they have some restrictions for very young children due to the percussive music, movement of the performers/props in the auditorium and as a courtesy to other patrons.With your desired settlement, the deal is a Final Sale and we are unable to process a refund back to your original form of payment however, we can issue a deal bucks credit of $190.00 on your account and this will be available immediately and expires 180 days after being issued. Any credit you have will automatically apply to your next LivingSocial purchase.If you have any additional questions, please reply to the email we sent you a while ago from ***@livingsocial.com.Tank you for understanding.Regards,***ManagerLivingSocial Customer Support
Complaint: ***
I am rejecting this response because: I called the theatre and spoke to ***. He said they were fine with the transaction being refunded but it had to be processed by living social. So there’s no reason that living socials can’t refund the transaction given its own failure to properly inform the customer of all pertinent information and the fact that the theatre is fine with the transaction being refunded. A sale can only be final if the consumer is well informed of all the restrictions and information necessary to make a decision.

In November I purchased a voucher for services while living in another state. Upon learning I was moving, I contacted Living Social ("LS") to refund or exchange the purchase. After several conversations, they exchanged it for "Deal Bucks" (a program through which I may utilize the amount paid for other goods and services). I purchased a like-kind service in the state I moved to. I did not move for over 6 weeks after that time. Upon trying to utilize the voucher purchased through the Deal Bucks, I was informed by the merchant that I could not use this voucher as I had also purchased one through Groupon and the voucher is only good for "new customers". Although the *fine printsays "Good for new customers only", this does not state whether it is the merchant or the LS policy. Merchant told me they would allow a refund. When requested, LS refused and has further refused to exchange my purchase for additional Deal Bucks to purchase other goods and services. They further expressed I may "gift my voucher to a friend or family member." As that is not a term of the fine print, this option is not legitimate and they are making up the rules as they go. Furthermore, they have offered me Deal Bucks and, therefore, set precedent that this is an acceptable practice. Without such exchange or refund agreement, they have stolen money intended for the purchase of a service which cannot be rendered.

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID, and find that this matter has been resolved, less than satisfactorily! They have no right to take money from patrons and then not issue a refund or trade REGARDLESS of their ambiguous "fine print". The language does NOT state it is their policy or that of the merchant, ergo not their decision to refund or not and should ONLY be that of the merchant.. Additionally, if money is paid for an item or service pay they must either return or exchange it, not steal it!
Sincerely
I ordered a cleaning deal from Living Social and when I tried to use it, the company POC kept hanging up on me. I found out later that she said she didn't want to honor any voucher from Living Social because they discounted it without her permission. I wanted to get a refund but was told to trade it in for another deal. I traded it in for another deal on their site but that particular company was in a different state (although the deal popped up as part of my choices even though my location was set to the right place). I was so frustrated with all the issues, I asked for my money back. I was told that because I already traded it in that it wouldn't be possible. I was tricked! Had I been informed a refund was possible initially and would not be possible after I traded it in, I would have opted for the refund. Living Social did not disclose this info! Furthermore, there is too many hassles associated with their service.

I purchased two different vouchers from Living Social for different printing companies. In both situations, the websites were difficult to use, and the items were not as advertised. I tried to get refunds since these items were CLEARLY NOT AS ADVERTISED. after a total of over 4 wasted hours of time, I was given a "credit", not a refund, on one of the vouchers. The other, I was completely out of my money on. The product that arrived was extremely inferior and not what I ordered.

I purchased a discount at a restaurant which closed before I could use it. They gave me a credit for my purchase. I have been waiting to use the credit and when I went to do that, they told me that it had expired and took my money. Very inflexible and total lack of integrity at this company.
