Here is another interesting article about Groupon. http://lightspandigital.com/the-real-cost-of-groupon-and-what-it-means-to-your-marketing-planning/ Duaine, What you told everyone about Groupon was in accurate. They charge WAY MORE than 1.8 % = 0.15 per transaction. That's what I am addressing. Read the article I attached below and then type in Google "What does Groupon Charge?" You will get a whole lot of information on the first page as to why you shouldn't do it.

The device is free, the ap is free, and they only charge something like 2.75% of each transaction.
