Groupon says contact United and United states they want an email confirmation stating purchase. I haven't gotten a confirmation number or email that lists cost of purchase from Groupon.

Any advice or feedback? Is this happening to anyone else?

After 2 emails, only 1 of which got a response, my AA miles from May just posted. I sent in the information through the AA shopping portal site. The confirmation number is under the 'my stuff' then 'my groupons' tab.

Groupon Monday!
 
UR is offering 20 extra points for every $1 spent on Groupons, today only. So if you get the $50 Groupon for American Apparel (worth $100) that's 1000 UR points. Any other good nationwide Groupons today?

Does anyone know if I use Groupon gift card will that qualify me to earn points? OR I need to use the my Chase Sapphire card?

jcmitchell21 Nov 14, 2011 7:45 am

AFAIK, you can use any card through the UR portal.

-Portal specifically says,

"Please note these terms & conditions:
Special increased earnings now through 11/14/2011! Not eligible on the purchase of gift cards, but eligible on purchases made with a gift card. Not eligible on orders using Groupon bucks or rewards."

Great deal, no hot deals to be had right now though.

Just today. I've been finding their offers are less interesting over time. If I see 1 a month I like, I am surprised. 12 visits to a local gym for $25 that usually costs ~$75 a month was good and half off massages can sometimes be worth it, but the restaurants they tout are often terrible deals to start with so the discount isn't so special.

The best Groupon deal may be puts on their stock, too bad other people have the same idea. Last I looked it cost over 4% to get a put that is over 20% out of the money.

Grrrrr, I just bought a Groupon for something for my wife yesterday via MR mall -- it was the best offer for me for 6x MR points. Today, this -- and the Groupon she wanted was available for another two days. :mad:

I've been looking forward to this bonus day for a while now thinking that Groupon might have some interesting deals but after looking for about 45 min I have to say I am pretty disappointed. I knew 20UR/$ was mostly too good to be true!

AmericanApparel isn't bad if you need some clothes.

The best deal on Groupons is getting 15% cashback through the shopdiscover portal. Ofcourse you would need to use a Discover Card. The cashback has always posted within 4-5 days.

mase Nov 14, 2011 12:50 pm

are you sure this is today only? I think I've seen this for at least a week now, but I may be wrong.

Groupon/ Living Social monitoring
 
Which site do you use to monitor all deals? I currently use dealnews.com, but they don't have some major sites included.

Yeah, I also had difficulty getting my miles to post. First time making a groupon purchase via an airline portal, and only did it to keep my mileage acct active. After 2 emails to the airline, and almost 2 months after the purchase, the miles still haven't post. We'll see.
