US Groupon

Has anyone bought deals from US Groupon for their attractions?

Not sure if you still need this information but just sharing that I used a few US Groupon deals when I was there.

I booked the Emperor Norton Walking tour at San Francisco, booked a Golden Gate Bridge cycling tour and something else in LA (can't remember).

How were you able to book through the US site? Not sure if they allow foreign CCs.

Yes, I paid directly though my DBS credit card. No issues whatsoever.

You obviously got charged overseas currency usage. How much was it?

Not too sure how do you add a non US based credit card to your account?

the emperor norton walking tour was USD19, my credit card charged SGD24.22
the cycling trip for 2 was USD55, my credit card charged SGD70.12

I'm not sure about any overseas currency usage charge, it's probably factored into the converted rates already.

Honestly, I was just able to add my DBS credit card into the US groupon account without any problems. I don't know how I was able to do so, but I did and it just as easy as signing up for a SG groupon account.

I think Groupon has no restriction on credit card usage. My family is heading to Australia for a holiday and I also bought a couple of Groupon vouchers from Groupon Australia, using my Singapore credit card for payment. No problem at all.

Just tried again on US site. The state/province is a compulsory field, for which SG doesn't qualify for. Or am I missing something?
