How to Stop Groupon Emails
Quick answer: To stop Groupon emails, open a recent Groupon email and unsubscribe, then go to your Groupon notification settings at https://www.groupon.com/faq/account-basics-and-troubleshooting/manage-email-subscriptions-location-preferences and switch off the categories you don't want. Groupon controls its email by category, so one unsubscribe click usually stops only a single type. To clear the backlog, search from:e.groupon.com in Gmail and bulk delete.
What Groupon actually sends you
Groupon sends daily deal and promotional emails (deals near you, by city), personalized deal recommendations and remarketing, and transactional and administrative emails (order confirmations, account notices), which continue after you opt out of marketing. Its email comes from mail@e.groupon.com, groupon@r.groupon.com, noreply@r.groupon.com. The reason your inbox fills up is that these are often separate lists or notification types, so switching off one doesn't stop the rest.
How to stop Groupon emails, step by step
- Unsubscribe from a recent email. Open a recent Groupon email and use its unsubscribe link.
- Turn it off at the source. Open Groupon's email or notification settings at https://www.groupon.com/faq/account-basics-and-troubleshooting/manage-email-subscriptions-location-preferences (Log in to Groupon > My Stuff > Email Preferences > check or uncheck categories and cities, or use 'Opt out from all Groupon emails', then save. For location deals: Email Preferences > Deals Near You > Add Another City) and turn off the categories you don't want.
Does unsubscribing from Groupon actually work?
Groupon is a retailer with multiple separate email categories, including per-city 'Deals Near You' lists and different deal categories. Unsubscribing from one email or one city does not stop all Groupon email, because each is its own subscription. The reliable way to stop all marketing is the account Email Preferences page using 'Opt out from all Groupon emails'. Changes may take a day or two. Even after you opt out of marketing, Groupon still sends administrative emails about your account and transactions. That's the part most "how to unsubscribe" guides miss, and it's why Groupon email often keeps arriving after people think they've opted out.
Clear out the Groupon emails already in your inbox
Unsubscribing stops new mail. It doesn't remove what's already there. On desktop Gmail, search from:e.groupon.com, click the select-all checkbox, then click "Select all conversations that match this search", and hit the trash icon. Empty Trash to reclaim the storage.
If Groupon is just one of many senders crowding your inbox, MailMop ranks every sender by volume so you can bulk delete and unsubscribe across all of them in one pass, in your browser. MailMop users have cleared over 2 million emails this way.
A couple of Groupon-specific tips
- Use the central Email Preferences page (My Stuff > Email Preferences) and 'Opt out from all Groupon emails' rather than the per-email unsubscribe, which often removes only one city or category list.
- If you set 'Deals Near You' for more than one city, remove each extra city, since each city is a separate subscription.
