Don't you need your Groupon account anymore? You haven't used it in months or are just undertaking some housekeeping and deleting the old, unused accounts. Irrespective of the reason, it's better to delete if you last used yours long ago.

 

Groupon is a platform that enables its members to get coupons from their website for local use to purchase products or services at much lower prices. Apart from providing several other discount offers, the platform stores all kinds of personal information. This includes your credit/debit card information, email address, phone number, and log-in details if you've signed up and purchased a product from Groupon. 

 

/If you do not want to buy anything from Groupon anymore, you should delete your account to prevent your personal information from exposure.

 

If you are looking for different ways to delete your Groupon account, remember that the process is challenging. Most people complain about being unable to go through the deletion process.

 

 Unfortunately, there is no straightforward way to delete your Groupon account permanently. You need to submit a request to their support team and have them delete your account for you.

 

How to Delete Your Groupon Account

 

Even though Groupon's deletion process is not that straightforward, it is possible too. Below are steps to make your deletion process more accessible and remove your personal information.

 

  1.  Go to Groupon.com.
  2.  Log in to your existing account.
  3.  Tap on the "help" link in the upper right corner of the website.
  4.  Choose any of the given help topics at the bottom of the page.

 

In the help search bar, type "Delete Account" and perform a search.

 

  1.  Tap on "Contact Us" from the "Deactivating Your Groupon Account" dropdown menu.
  2.  Choose your preferred way to contact the customer support team.
  3.  If you opt for "Live Chat," a chat window will appear on the lower right side of the Groupon website. Start the chat and follow the instructions given by the support executive for removal.
  4.  If you choose "Send us an Email," a form will appear on the website. Fill out the required details and hit "Send." Groupon will follow up with further feedback.

 

It's crucial to remember that deleting the account through live chat services is much easier and faster. You can instantly contact a customer service executive and complete the process within a few minutes.

 

If you prefer doing it via email, it can take Groupon up to 3 business days to process and answer. They may ask for additional data to delete your account. In case you have yet to receive a response within three days, make sure to follow up.

 

If you no longer use your Groupon account, you must delete it. We submit a lot of personal information when we create a new account. The more funds we make, the higher the risk of a person falling victim to a data breach or hack. This, in turn, can put your private information at risk.
