groupon credit card problems?

[nomadchica]

Anyone else had problems using groupon? I have tried my credit card and debit card and neither work (they are both from the US).

same problem with my cards from ireland.

if you set up a pago facil account (kinda like paypal i guess), you can lodge money in nearly any pharmacy, and use it to pay.
although it usually takes a few days, so you might have to just keep your pago facil account topped up so you can buy whatever it is you want on the day.

I haven't used mine yet actually tho so i'm not completely sure...
i called in to lodge money to my account once and the lady said i hadn't enough digits in my account number so i kind of gave up after that... i might try somewhere else this week tho, so i'll reply again if i've any luck.

You can only use cards from Argentina, unfortunately.

AmEx works (although they'll charge you 3% exchange fee). Rapipago is the next option. Print out the coupon and you'll have 5 days to pay it in any location where Rapipago is accepted (google for locations, there're plenty).
