Doesn't look like it's a $50 gift card, it says you're buying $25 off $50. And it costs $25.

your cost = $25
you get a $50 gift card

So you have to buy two groupons to actually save any money?

:awe:

 

[shocksyde]

I'll just go ahead and trust you guys and forget about it.

Not an option. My only goal for today is that you become a mathlete.

 

[DisgruntledVirus]

Guess you failed the ASVAB?

This, we can't really comment unless we see what the deal is on the site.

If it is really $25 off of a purchase of $50 or more, then yes, there is no point.

If it is $25 and they give you a $50 coupon, then I agree with everyone else.

you get a piece of paper "25 off 50"

you go to store and buy something for 50

you give store groupon

you leave.

exactly what we're all saying .. OP is silly.

But that doesn't make any sense. You still have to buy 50 dollars of stuff so you're out 50 bucks.

that's wrong lol


the groupon deals say $25 for $50 worth of _______

 

[ahenkel]

People are making this a lot more complicated than it should be.

 

[calvinbiss]

To simplify:

You are going to pay groupon $25 for a $50 bill. Thing is, only one particular store will take that particular $50 bill.

 

[TuxDave]

I'll just go ahead and trust you guys and forget about it.

I still demand a link to see it

 

[Ns1]

i am going to put my neck on the line and say that the deal structure is going to work the same no matter how it's worded.

"Groupon -Deal of the Day~ Save $25 off $50 at GAP off clothing & Accessories~EVEN SALE ITEMS! One Day Only!"

which actually leads to this

"$25 for $50 Worth of Apparel at Gap"

$25 for $50 worth is different from
$25 off $50 worth when you are paying $25 for the coupon

save 25 off 50 is correct but that wording is needlessly complicated

you give groupon $25

you get a piece of paper "25 off 50"

you go to store and buy something for 50

you give store groupon

you leave.

in that scenario you are paying $50 for $50...

trollin trollin trollin (me thinks)

no, there are people that are actually this stupid.

 

[spidey07]

Epicness in the making.

 

[surfsatwerk]

I'm sorry, I still don't understand what happens when you fuck a stranger in the ass.

 

[zinfamous]

now you guys are fusterclucking yourselves.

that it?

 

[Wyndru]

I see now, here is an example:

$25 for $50 Worth of Shoes, Fitness Wear, and Accessories at New Balance Charlotte

Basically you give them $25, they give you a coupon worth $50, like everyone in the first 1/3 of this thread were explaining. OP worded it like you were getting $25 off of a $50 purchase.
