I got an email about a Groupon class action a few months ago.
tldr: If you bought Groupons between 11/2008 and 12/2011 that went unused/expired you could get 130% of their value in Groupon Credit.
Cons:
-You have to provide details about the expired Groupons, you can't make them up
-You don't get a cash settlement, you are paid in Groupon Credit
-It is Groupon
After searching through my gmail it doesn't look like I purchased any Groupons during that time frame so this is a no-go for me. Figured I'd share it in this thread anyway in case it benefits someone else.
