**How it works**
Groupon offers daily deals, also known as "Groupons", which are vouchers for products, services or experiences. Subscribers can browse through the website or app and select a Groupon that interests them in their local area or for online shopping. Groupons typically have a limited time window for redemption and usually require a certain number of people to purchase the deal before it becomes active.
**Categories**
Groupon features various categories to cater to different interests such as:
- Local Deals: Deals on restaurants, spas, salons, gyms, and other local businesses.
- Goods: Discounts on electronics, clothing, household items, and more.
- Travel: Vacation packages, hotel stays, cruise deals and local experiences.
- Coupons: Promo codes from top retailers.
**Refund policy**
Groupon offers a refund policy which states that customers can return any purchased Groupon within three days of purchase for a full refund unless there are specific limitations mentioned in the deal.
**Benefits**
One major benefit of using Groupon is the potential for significant savings on various products and services. It also allows users to discover new local businesses and to try new experiences at a discounted rate. Additionally, it helps small businesses get exposure and attract new customers.
