Update: Within just a few hours of contacting Groupon’s Customer Support, I’ve received a refund of the $16 paid for the CVS gift card.Gift cards bring delight to shopping & gifting! As far as I’m aware it’s only CVS gift cards that have been affected by this issue, but please let us know if you’ve had issues with other recently discounted brands like Saks, Dunkin’, Grubhub, etc. I’ve reached out to Groupon to get a refund, but it looks like we’ll have to be very careful with purchases from Groupon and LivingSocial in the future. As you can see above, the card was activated on Septemwith a $20 balance and was then redeemed many months later on April 10, 2018. Several people have reported this happening on the cards they bought and the same thing happened with mine. Instead, it looks like Groupon and LivingSocial are selling old gift cards that got redeemed many years ago. It turns out that the card had a zero balance that can occasionally happen if there’s some kind of activation issue, but that wasn’t the reason here. Like many others, I bought a $20 CVS gift card for $16 recently. They’ve all been low denomination cards – $5-$20 – but there seems to be something wrong with their sourcing of at least one of those brands.

Groupon and LivingSocial have run a number of decent gift card deals recently, offering anything from 20% up to 80% off gift card for select brands.
