I concur with Candyflip. Here in Asia, businesses have gotten smart.
1. groupons are extremely time-limited. no more 6months to a year. It's a month or two at most
2. groupons are no longer for discount amounts like $100 worth of food for $50. It's $50 for specific things with an arbitrary MSRP tacked on, so a customer is less able to accurately weigh value. For example, a hamburger joint does a special burger that isn't available on the regular menu, with a stated value of "$10", even though the burger could be a $4 burger any other time. As Candyflip said, it's not their signature burger / core product
3. customers may need to jump through hoops to claim the groupon, such as the redemption center for products in farther away places.
