How long does Groupon take?

[Leros]

I bought something on Groupon over a week ago and it is still pending. When the heck do I get to use this coupon?

Depends on when the deal ends, did it have enough buyers? Most of mine seem to be good the next day.

I bought it on Feb 4th. Over 10,000 people bought it.

Was it the $20 to BN? I got mine in less than a day for that. Maybe they are trying to weed out the scammers...

Yeah it was. It was my first time to use Groupon.

Still says pending...

Takes up to 24 hours.

if it's like the amazon deal it'll take a bit longer, because of the flood of scammers from places like slickdeals.

Why does it take longer? Are they manually approving people or something?

people try and sign up for multiple (sometimes hundreds) of them, and it floods the servers, plus they have to weed out the multiples.
