7 Tips for Navigating Group-Coupon Sites

Know the Drill Ahead of Time

If there are a few different group-deal sites that you might buy from, it’s always wise to familiarize yourself with their basic purchase policies from the get-go. “If you already know what’s included and you’re on the train to work and you see a good deal, you don’t need to wait to get to your desk to read more before you buy it,” says Julie Mossler, director of communications for Groupon. Take a few minutes to understand the site’s overall rules and return policies so you can click Buy with confidence. (This doesn’t get you out of reading the fine print on each deal you consider purchasing. That’s always a must.)
