Although I have never purchased from here, I have to say I was very disappointed at my mailbox being bombarded with emails. I didn't even sign up for an account, I stupidly entered my email address to "get todays deals" & the next day I had email after email from them. And none the links to "unsubscribe" worked on any of the emails, neither did the link's address, and I couldn't change my preferences on the website as I didn't have an account! So I ended up emailing them & I did have a reply with in an hour saying I had been unsubscribed...and no emails since.
They do have some good deals & I would have been happy to subscribe if I got an email every few days, not 5+ in one day.

Stay clear of this company. They are okay until you have a problem and then there is no way they will give you a refund or help you out. Their competitors, Cudo, Groupon, Livingsocial all offer no questions asked refunds, yet Scoopon will never give you your money back even though they state they have a refund policy on their website, They will make every possible excuse they can come up with when the time comes, to not honour their refund policy. They are a scam company.

I know that. The service supplier didn't deliver which was why I asked for a refund for my OTHER unused voucher and Scoopon did everything possible to avoid giving me a refund. I took the issue to Consumer Affairs and they clearly said Scoopon was WRONG and they contacted your manager to tell him that he has violated consumer rights and had to refund me. Not to mention I received such rude emails from you help centre staff.

Scoopon is pretty much single handedly saving my "date night" committment this year.
My husband and I struggle sometimes, as I think many people do, to get any "us time" so we decided to implement weekly date night on a Tuesday. We do the usual video night (cheap night at Blockbuster), cheap movies at cinemas and all that, but much of it gets old pretty quickly. Enter scoopon.
Sometimes there is really nothing of interest available, other times I buy 6 vouchers in a month, but either way, it is always good fun to check it out.
When I first started using the site (or app on my phone now) it was pretty much just vouchers for activities, which I really loved. Now they have products and stuff, which I actually dislike, they have lost focus a bit, but it still has useful things on it.
We have come across heaps of different things, which is the best bit. Buying random vouchers have been us try out heaps of different cafes, breakfast bars and restaurants, but also try different activities like comedy club shows, brewery tours, photography tours and canoeing on the river.
Not everything works on our Tuesday night, so sometimes we have to be flexible and transfer our days, but we are having a lot of fun, and saving heaps of money, which we desperately need to be doing at the moment.
The only thing to be aware of is that they all have expiry dates, and it can be a bit easy to miss them. There is no warming or anything like that provided by the site, so we make sure we print them out and attach them to the fridge with a post it note of the expire date so that we can make sure we book by the required date and don't waste the money.
Also - make sure you read the small print. Been tricked once not reading it properly and ended up wasting about $40 because the voucher didn't cover what we actually needed and we had to buy extra stuff to use it at all.
Worth a look at next time you are online, even if you don't end up interested.

This sounds quite incredible and I'll certainly visit the site. Now I know your secret for having such a diversified variety of WOMO reviews :)

I've had a few interesting encounters with this site. I've purchased some amazing restaurant coupons, but sometimes they've closed my account for no reason. Also, because it's linked to catch of the day, when they are having a massive sale, it's impossible to log onto my scoopon website. Other than that, they do have pretty amazing deals, just watch out for their customer service.

I bought a voucher for a trip to the snow with some friends. I found out shortly after that the bus my friends were booked on was full. I sent a polite email to scoopon asking for a credit to use on another offer as I could not go with my friends and didn't want to go alone. After a few emails exchanged, they would not refund me the money.

They are money hungry with no loyalty to customers. DISGUSTING.

Approximate cost: $54

Scoopon offer an amazing variety of high quality deals! I'm hooked and love checking my email to see what they have on offer each day. I have purchased a range of products/services/meals and haven't had a negative experience yet! I've found some of their deals to be a great way to try things that I wouldn't otherwise be able to afford to do at full price!

Love Scoopon! The best of all the group buying sites.

I have bought multiple scoopons and fantastic prices and have never had a problem with redeeming my vouchers.

The app also makes it more tempting to spend more money on scoopons.

Great daily email deals delivered to my inbox especially the beauty therapy ones

have brought several deals to give as gifts which were appreciated

This is definitely the best of the discount websites. It has a easy to use phone app and offers some great deals from dining to travel to beauty experiences. Once I needed to call up customer service.. I was waiting on hold for faaaar to long (they need to sort that out!!) but when we finally got thru they were very helpful!

scoopon is definitely the leader in this type of promotion, offering coupons daily for different things. without a doubt the best website of its kind.

Talking of vouchers and coupons, heard of VouchPouch .... I’m a coupon addict and I’ve been desperately needing this for a long time now. A consolidated view and the reminders have been extremely helpful
