FAQs
What makes GBU different? Most group buy sites only list a single deal a day – which is awesome, but not awesome enough. We thought – why not list all the cool group buy deals on one page – and make it easier for people to get the best deals! That’s what we’ve done!!
I want in. How do I buy the deal? Each group buy site has its own method of accepting payment, mostly by credit card. It’s really easy to print out the vouchers and take them to the store to use! If for some reason the minimum number of sales is not met your purchase will not go through.
What makes GBU's daily e-mail so AWESOME? Because its your one-stop-shop for the daily group buy deals in your city. Don't miss out on that deal you've been looking for and be confident you've checked all the group buy sites.
E-mails are filling my inbox! By law e-mail subscriptions must contain a link to unsubscribe. If you don't want to receive our e-mail then simply click unsubscribe.
Ok, what's the cost? There are no extra costs to group buying. Accessing deals through our site and our daily e-mail service are free. To purchase a deal you only pay for the voucher you receive.
How do I know this is safe? GBU is safe because we never ask for personal information. If you subscribe to our daily e-mail we will not share your address with anyone else (as per our privacy policy). Furthermore any purchase information is processed by each individual Group Buy Site and they do not provide any of this info to us. We also try to ensure only reliable group buy sites get featured on Group Buy United. If you have any issues please let us know and/or leave a comment on the community forum.
How do I make sure enough people buy the deal I want? Share the deal with your friends and family. Mention the deal on your social networking sites. Buy one as a gift. Doing things together is always more fun.
How do I use my voucher? For the most part, simply take your voucher to the vendor to claim it. Please be sure to check the details on the group buy site before you make your purchase.
Why should I care about other cities? Going traveling? Check out the deals for your destination city before your trip to maximize your experience and your travel dollars.
I clicked 'buy', but I don't see the deal on the deal page. What's going on? If you don't immediately see the deal, please see if there are any 'side' deals on the page. Also confirm that the 'city' is the city you want it to be. Finally, if you still don't see it, sometimes deal sites 'rotate' deals throughout the day so try using the 'search' function on the deal site. Still no luck? Contact us.
I heard a friend got some GBU credits (and vouchers) for free. How!? We reward our users for spreading the word about GBU. If you do the same (i.e. via facebook, twitter, an email to your office colleagues, etc.) let us know and we might just buy you your next voucher!
This FAQ sucks, I have more questions!! Unfortunately we can't anticipate every question for this FAQ. Shoot us an e-mail at info@groupbuyunited.com and we will try our hardest to get back to you as soon as possible. Thanks for visiting.
