Thats how I assumed it worked from a dealers perspective. I figured Groupon kept a % just in case for refunds etc.

Its a little like the electronics rebate scam. You pay up front - the problem is with the rebate scam only about 33% of people actually claim the rebate - with this I am guessing they have over 90% of people cashing in on the Groupon.

I have always wondered if there was a way retailers could limit purchase to certain postal codes. You would think a retailer in the deep south would prefer to have deep south clients rather than the coupon cutter crowd parachute in when they will not likely be a repeat customer.
