Groupon

Groupon is a US local deals and experiences marketplace covering spa and massage, restaurants and dining vouchers, dental and med spa, auto repair and maintenance, home services, fitness classes and studio passes, escape rooms and comedy clubs, karting and paintball, museum and attraction tickets, wine tours, hotels and vacation packages through Groupon Getaways, and shippable goods across home, electronics, appliances, fashion, and beauty. It is one of the widest US catalogues for local experiences and gifting.

Groupon (Nasdaq: GRPN) is a publicly listed US local commerce marketplace that has operated since 2008 with a large merchant network across every major US metro. Local experiences typically deliver as eGift or printable vouchers redeemed at the merchant, goods ship physically through standard carriers, and Groupon Getaways travel bookings issue standard hotel confirmations. Individual voucher terms (blackout dates, participating locations, expiry) vary by deal; read the fine print on each listing before checkout.

The five biggest US Groupon categories by shopper volume are local experiences (spa, massage, dining, fitness classes, escape rooms, comedy, karting), things to do (attraction tickets, museum passes, wine tours), Groupon Getaways travel (hotels and vacation packages), goods (home, electronics, appliances, fashion, beauty), and services (auto repair, home services, professional services). Health and beauty (dental cleanings, med spa, laser hair removal, teeth whitening) and online learning courses round out the catalogue.

Groupon US accepts major credit and debit cards, PayPal, Apple Pay, and Google Pay at checkout. Gift cards and Groupon credit apply directly to the balance.

Local experience purchases deliver as an eGift or printable voucher available in the Groupon account and app immediately after checkout, ready to redeem at the merchant. Goods ship physically through standard US carriers, with shipping speed varying by seller and product category. Groupon Getaways bookings issue a standard hotel confirmation and any package inclusions once the reservation is confirmed.

Spa and massage is one of Groupon US's deepest local categories, with Swedish, deep tissue, hot stone, prenatal, couples massage, facials, and med spa packages listed across every major metro from NYC, LA, Chicago, Houston, Phoenix, Miami, Dallas, and Seattle down to smaller regional markets. Multi-visit packages typically undercut a single walk-in booking at the same studio. Start from ShopBack's Groupon page above before checkout so the spa or massage deal can earn Cashback.

Groupon US carries dining vouchers across steakhouses, sushi, hibachi and teppanyaki, brunch spots, breweries, wineries, tasting menus, and family restaurants in every major US metro. Vouchers work well for date nights, group dinners, and trying a new spot the shopper has been meaning to visit. Check the fine print on party size, weekday windows, and beverage inclusions before buying, and open ShopBack's Groupon page before you pay so the voucher can earn Cashback.

Dental cleanings, teeth whitening, Invisalign consults, laser hair removal, Botox, filler, chemical peels, microneedling, and CoolSculpting are among Groupon US's most-purchased health and beauty listings. Bundled packages (multi-session laser, series peels, whitening plus cleaning combos) typically undercut booking each session individually at the same clinic. Read provider reviews and check credentials on the listing before booking a med spa or dental package, then start from ShopBack's Groupon page before you pay so the package can earn Cashback.

Groupon US lists oil changes, brake service, wheel alignments, tire rotations, detailing, ceramic coating, and mobile car wash across the auto category, plus HVAC tune-ups, duct cleaning, carpet and upholstery cleaning, gutter cleaning, and pest control across home services. Bundled packages (three oil changes, seasonal HVAC plus duct clean) typically undercut booking each service separately. Activate ShopBack US on the Groupon page above before clicking through to Groupon to earn Cashback on the paid amount.

Groupon US carries intro-month and multi-visit passes for yoga, pilates, barre, spin, CrossFit, boxing, kickboxing, martial arts, rock climbing, and dance across independent studios and small chains in most US metros. Intro-month bundles typically undercut the studio's own walk-in drop-in rate. Check the class schedule and studio location on the listing before buying. Passes bought after opening ShopBack's Groupon page can earn Cashback.

Escape rooms, comedy clubs, axe throwing, karting, paintball, laser tag, indoor skydiving, wine and cocktail tastings, boat tours, and dinner cruises are all core Groupon US entertainment categories that work well as birthday, anniversary, holiday, and group gifts. Multi-person and combo listings typically undercut buying single admissions at the venue. Prebook peak weekend slots ahead during Mother's Day, Father's Day, Valentine's Day, and the December holiday gifting window. Gift purchases can earn Cashback too when you start from ShopBack's Groupon page before you pay.

Museum passes, aquarium tickets, zoo admissions, observation deck tickets, Broadway and off-Broadway shows, wine country tours, city walking tours, and seasonal attractions (holiday light drives, pumpkin patches, ice-skating) all list on Groupon US. Prebooking dated tickets before peak weekends and school holidays typically avoids on-the-day sellouts. Start from ShopBack's Groupon page above before you pay so the tickets can earn Cashback on the amount you pay.

Groupon Getaways is Groupon's US travel arm carrying hotel-only bookings and hotel-plus-inclusion packages (breakfast, resort credit, spa credit, park tickets) across Las Vegas, Orlando, Miami Beach, New York, Chicago, Napa Valley, the Poconos, Sedona, the Smoky Mountains, San Diego, and Puerto Rico, plus international destinations across Mexico, the Caribbean, and Europe. Packages typically bundle a discounted nightly rate with property credits that increase effective value on-property. Check blackout dates and package inclusions on the listing before booking. Getaways bookings started from ShopBack's Groupon page can earn Cashback too.

Groupon Goods carries home essentials, small appliances, kitchen electronics, bedding and mattresses, patio and outdoor furniture, gardening supplies, fashion, jewelry, watches, beauty devices, personal care electronics, and toys shipped physically to US addresses. Category refresh cadence is heaviest around back-to-school in August, Black Friday and Cyber Monday, and post-holiday clearance in January. Check seller ratings and shipping windows on the listing before buying, then start from ShopBack's Groupon page before you pay so the order can earn Cashback.

Groupon US lists lifetime and multi-year access bundles across web development, data analytics, project management, design, digital marketing, language learning, and personal development, plus certificate-track prep bundles for common IT and PM certifications. Lifetime bundles typically undercut annual subscriptions at the same course library. Check the platform, provider, and access window on the listing before purchasing. Course bundles can earn Cashback when you start from ShopBack's Groupon page before you pay.

Groupon US typically issues rolling first-order promo codes for new-account shoppers on local experiences, Goods, and Getaways, plus seasonal themed code drops around Mother's Day, Father's Day, Valentine's Day, Memorial Day, Fourth of July, Labor Day, back-to-school in August, Black Friday, Cyber Monday, Christmas, and New Year. Codes typically apply site-wide with category caps or to a specific category (Local, Goods, Getaways). No code needed: go through ShopBack before you pay and part of what you spend comes back as Cashback. See the current rate table above.

Groupon US runs rolling first-order promotions year-round, with themed sale windows around Valentine's Day (couples spa and dining), Mother's Day and Father's Day (spa, gifting, restaurants), Memorial Day and Fourth of July (Getaways, local experiences), Labor Day (Getaways and Goods), back-to-school (online learning, Goods), Black Friday and Cyber Monday (deepest annual site-wide discounts), and Christmas plus New Year (gifting vouchers, Getaways). During these windows, the sale price is what you pay at checkout. Going through ShopBack before you pay is an essential step, and part of what you spend comes back as Cashback. Check the rate shown on ShopBack's Groupon page before you buy.

Groupon typically wins on breadth of local experience categories, national metro coverage, repeat-purchase promo code cadence, and combined access to local, Goods, and Getaways in one account. Yelp Deals wins for shoppers already anchored on Yelp reviews since the deal sits next to the review page. Restaurant.com specialises purely in dining vouchers and can be worth cross-checking for restaurant-only spend. Fandango is the movie-ticket specialist for cinema chains. Gilt City lists Groupon-style upscale local experiences in select metros with a lifestyle skew. Costco is stronger on bulk travel packages and attraction ticket books for members. For most US shoppers wanting one account across spa, dining, dental, auto, entertainment gifting, and travel packages, Groupon carries the widest catalogue. Groupon booked after going through ShopBack US earns Cashback at the current published rate.

Go through ShopBack before you pay and the Cashback tracks to your ShopBack account. Sign in to ShopBack (new members join free at shopback.com/signup), open the Groupon merchant page above, click through to Groupon and complete the purchase there. The current rate is published in the rate table on the ShopBack Groupon page above.

After clicking through to Groupon from ShopBack US and completing a purchase, the order is submitted to ShopBack by Groupon and typically appears as pending Cashback within a few days. Cashback confirms after the merchant's return and refund window closes and the order is finalised. The current Cashback rate is published in the rate table on the ShopBack Groupon page above.

Groupon runs its own promo codes, category sales, Getaways package pricing, and first-order offers. The price Groupon shows at checkout is what you pay, and opening ShopBack's Groupon page before you visit Groupon lets the purchase earn Cashback. The Groupon page on ShopBack shows which purchases earn Cashback and the live rate.
