Group buying - from sceptical to looking forward

When i first saw these companies like everyday and groupmore selling great discount coupons, i was a little sceptical about it. I was wondering how could the company make profit if they are selling coupons for 50%-90% discount? How secure was the payment process? How was the process of receiving the coupons after payment, printing it and using it?

After using it for a few months, i liked it so much and keep looking forward to it's new deals every weeks. Coupons that i liked the most are coupons on dining, hotel and massaga/spa. Purchasing coupons via those websites are easy and flexible, payment can be done using internet banking or major credit cards. Best food voucher i bought is 1 KG crab from Pang seafood restaurant for RM29 and best massage voucher is the Danai spa in Eastin hotel.

Here are my favourite group buying coupon selling website:

1. Ezivoucher (this is paperless, just copy down the voucher code)

2. Groupon (this will remember your credit card so it is easy for future purchase)

3. Everyday (buy and share, can earn some small $$)

Hope to see more of such group buying coupons which is win-win to both consumer and merchant.
