They have never done it with Groupon. That is impossible.

They did the promo with LivingSocial. Amazon owns a significant chunk of LivingSocial so I don't understand why they're running Amazon Local. I guess this daily deals business is way too easy to copy. I can see GRPN stock tanking in the next few years. If you want to lose some quick money, buy some of that stock.
