We applied to Groupon and LivingSocial in San Antonio and were turned down by both. Reason was we didn't meet their profile. I get that.
Heard a story on NPR about these coupon services. Small businesses, especially restaurants, hate them. They find that their regulars buy up deals and the non-members who come in on a dal usually don't come back. And then the split kills them. Give 50% off a meal and with the Groupon 25% cut the restaurant gets the remaining 25% which doesn't cover their costs. We've got coupons up on our Google Places page and our Yelp page. Neither has gotten any response even when we've tweeted out the coupon page. Our coupons are for Daily Desk (drop in) not for member desks or conference room. Cheers!
