@ Karl: I've probably purchased coupons from all the sites out there. I also have about a dozen in a folder, with the expiration date circled and in chronological order. The ones that speak to me are restaurants (i.e. why pay $40 when you can be $20?) and fitness classes (i.e. pole-dancing and bootcamps at $5/class versus $20/class). Especially since I'm not working right now, I'm still able to go out and have a social life with my budget.
In terms of getting refunds, one of the business got shut down (Blini Czar) and everyone got refunds, regardless of whether the coupon was used or not. I had already eaten my 2 blinis, so it was nice that they were free :) I've also called the DealFind office and had no problem getting a refund.
But yes, it's important to read the fine print BEFORE you make your purchase. Usually the deals are pretty good and restaurants do allow weekend usage.
