Hi Michael,

After consistent requests from customers and merchants, we have decided to pilot certain types of firearms-related deals in specific markets on a trial basis. These are limited to skeet and target shooting deals, as well as shooting range deals.

It’s always our goal to offer the kinds of products and services that our customers are interested in, and feedback like yours helps us accomplish that.

Thanks again for voicing your feedback. If there’s anything else I can help you with, please let me know.

Regards,

Just sent them a letter thanking them for reconsidering their policy and I turned on my account notifications again.
As much as it was a bad decision originally, just like raising children, I think you should reward them when they do the right things and punish them for doing bad things.

Thanks for the update Wes.

Groupon has always aimed to offer deals driven by local consumer preference and request; at this time, enough consumers have asked us to eliminate the category that we believe a review is warranted.

Hi Jason,

Thank you for reaching out to us. We appreciate your feedback and take these inquiries seriously.

Gun-related deals, including shooting ranges, conceal-and-carry, and clay shooting, are on hiatus as we review our internal policies for the types of deals that we feature. Groupon has always aimed to offer deals driven by local consumer preference and request; at this time, enough consumers have asked us to eliminate the category that we believe a review is warranted. A decision has not yet been made.

Please note that all existing purchases for gun related Groupons are still valid and deals that were previously offered are not being canceled.

Per your request, I've unsubscribed this email address. You will stop receiving Groupon promotional emails within 48 hours. Let me know if you would also like me to close your purchasing account permanently. Please note that once your account is closed, you will no longer be able to access previously purchased Groupons, and any existing Groupon Bucks will be voided.

Thank you again for contacting us and please let me know if I can do anything else to help.
