Groupon and FTD Offer Refunds

If you bought a Groupon for $20 good for $40 worth of flowers from FTD and suspected you were being overcharged, you thought right. Seems a glitch in the system charged Groupon users full price on sale items, but both Groupon and FTD seem eager to resolve the issue, although there were probably some burned and spurned flowerless customers this Valentine's Day.

The FTD deal, offered Feb. 10, stated the Groupon could not be used on sale items. Customers who selected those items were charged the non-sale, original price of $5-$10 higher. Complaints started popping up on Groupon's community site almost immediately about the price discrepancy. This, in addition to negative feedback prompted Groupon to pull the deal a day early.
