Happy New Year Readers.
I would like to introduce you to a website that I have been testing for the past year. I have bought goods and saved money throughout 2011 with this website and have had no problems doing so.
After the expense of Christmas we could all do with saving money on our purchases so I would like to introduce you to the website called Groupon
Some of you may have heard of it, looked at it and just thought it is some sort of scam website I urge you to take another look register and keep an eye on their subscription e-mails in your inbox. Groupon is no scam and you are not forced in any way to buy neither do you have to pay a subscription charge. Rather than me trying to explain how the system works I will extract a little of their website into my blog below.
How does it work?
General information
What is Groupon UK?
Each day, Groupon UK features an unbeatable deal on the best stuff to do, see, eat, and buy in your city. By promising businesses a minimum number of customers, we get discounts you won’t find anywhere else. We call it "collective buying power!"
I like todays deal - how do I get it?
Just click "Buy Now" before the offer ends at midnight. If the minimum number of people signs up, we’ll charge your card and send you a link to print your coupon. If not enough people join, no one gets it (and you won’t be charged), so invite your friends to make sure you get the deal! Groupon is also fun to use with parents, grandparents, children, partners, neighbours, teachers, colleagues, school friends and comrades, and men who wear monocles. Work together to live your city for less!
What happens if the deal doesnt reach its required minimum number of purchasers?
If not enough people sign up, then the deal is cancelled, and you wont be charged. Better luck next time! So if you really want the deal, be sure to either beg or threaten your friends and family.
Do I need to make use of my deal the same day I buy it?
Quite the contrary, though most coupons have an expiration date.
I bought a deal - how do I use it?
Once you’re charged, you’ll receive an e-mail with a link to sign in and print your voucher. It has redemption instructions and a map right on it! The best option however is to print your coupon through the My Orders tab, accessible by clicking My Account in the top right corner once you are logged in.
Can I buy a Groupon deal as a gift for someone else?
Yes. We communicate with all the businesses that we work with that coupons can be gifted, and unless the fine print specifically states otherwise, gift away!
Is Groupon safe?
Extremely. Your credit card number is transmitted by SSL directly to a secure electronic vault. At no time is your credit card information stored on our servers. Nonetheless, this security only applies if you log out of your Groupon account after use! It is your responsibility to keep your Groupon account secure
Today's deal is an excellent choice for the beginning of 2012 for you or a loved one. You can make a new years resolutions come true because Groupon is offering up to 63% off E-Lite electronic cigarettes and these I can personally recommend. The E-lite cigarettes have been featured on the BBC's EastEnders show on many occasions and are used as an aid for given up smoking.
