In reply to Cindy Brick. No such luck Cindy. I tried that approach and it didn't fly at all. They said tough luck the policy is the policy. It was certainly worth the effort to call though.

In reply to Ruby Leigh. @Ruby Leigh - That is a nice aspect of Groupon. Especially compared to similar collective buying sites.

Don’t give up on that gift card! Just contact the president of the company the card pertains to…make a photocopy of the gift card, explain that you meant to use it but are the mommy of a new baby, didn’t have time, etc etc. I would say the odds are very good that this person will pull some strings — and you’ll suddenly be able to use the card. Especially when you mention you host a popular blog.
Trust me on this. I’ve had several iffy situations like this work out when they realized I was a writer, had a blog and wrote for other people, as well. It can for you, too…

Ok, and then make sure you’ve got the expiration list updated! (It’s a good idea…) Good luck.

I lost a couple LivingSocial vouchers due to ill planning – super frustrating. Groupon is nice enough to send you a reminder e-mail. Also, you can still use the value you paid for it post deadline.
