What are Groupon Bucks? How can I use them?

Each Groupon Buck equals a dollar. Once you have any amount of Groupon Bucks in your account, your Groupon Bucks will be applied automatically to your next purchase of a Groupon deal. It's as simple as that.

For example, if you have $10 Groupon Bucks and the deal you want is $20, you'll end up paying only $10 with your credit card. On the other hand, if you apply the same Groupon Bucks to a deal that's only $3, your remaining $7 Bucks will be applied to a future purchase automatically.
