    I had to check out this topic to see what a Group On was. It sounded fun. Oh. Its a coupon. Nevermind.

    That would be "per person", right?

    No, when we saw it at $133/room/night we booked for 10 nights then jumped up screaming like that crazy old lady at the bingo hall.

    I just calculated our trip cost (flights + hotel) for 10 nights, flying from Kelowna, BC, Canada. Using today's US/Can exchange rate it comes out at US$2628 in total which equates to US$132/pp/night. Sweet!

    Group on has a lot of bad PR for misleading advertising and heavy restriction

    ''
    Read the fine print — if you can find it

    Another important difference from most hotel booking sites is that the Groupon value doesn’t include taxes, which can often be significant. Depending on the destination, length of stay and dollar value, consumers could find themselves with a bill for an extra $100 or more at checkout.
    To make matters worse, Groupon Getaways puts all of this fine print on a separate tab that most users will miss.''
