Fun Fact Friday

I am a self proclaimed Groupon fan.  Every day I discover ways to whiten my teeth, relax my tense deltoids with an hour long massage and remove unsightly hair.  Realistically, I just buy deals for new restaurants and mini adventures in Chicago.

Through the years though, I screwed up.  I bought Groupons that went to waste as the expiration date ticked closer then passed.  Money down the drain! (noooooo.)

Then today, per a recommendation from a friend, I called Groupon's customer service department.  From what I can tell it is a young, fun group of people who probably don't love being on the phone but do a pretty good job of pretending they don't mind.  I spoke with a bubbly girl and explained that "I'm an idiot whom allows perfectly good Groupons to expire."  From here I earned one of two options:

1.) Use that Groupon as cash at the business
2.) Refund the amount back to my Groupon account to be used on a future Groupon purchase

Already stated, I am a Groupon fiend and excitedly opted for option number two.  Now I possess $73 to spend on a future purchase I may or may not need.

Lesson learned, your money is not lost.  Ask the question and you shall receive.  I feel as rich as Scrooge McDuck right now, swimming in intangible Groupon credits.
