Well, my friend got a refund to his card, but he was just one day outside Groupon's 7-day cash refund window. I was at 11 or 12 days, which is why they probably refunded me via Groupon Bucks credit. I still haven't gotten a response to my second e-mail to them. The only reason I signed up for Groupon was because of this deal. There's no way I can get $229's worth of value from Groupon considering most of the "local" deals are around 60 miles away in Syracuse. If I don't get a response back from them by the end of the day, I'm going to call my credit card issuer and dispute the charge.
