Is this free to join and is it beneficial. We were in a pub today that does B&B but only via groupon

[granny grump]

Thank you

[Prudie]

You do get absolutely inundated with e-mails though

They would refuse custom unless it was via Groupon ? Seems a strange arrangement to me. Maybe Groupon has more power than one expected.

[granny grump]

Yes they said that they have a deal with groupon and it works for them

[Old_Geezer]

I had a phone app for them once. One can waste a lot of time looking at "bargains" but I never did get anything via them.

We have had some excellent B, B+EM deals in hotels. Some hotels find Groupon is a way of making sure they fill the hotel at what would otherwise be a quiet time, so they can stay open and keep staff on.
The catch is you have to buy the voucher from Groupon for a deal and then ring the hotel for availability so it's better to be flexible regarding dates than have a definite single date as it may not be available

Thank you all for your time
