I purchased a $99 Groupon Coupon which states on the Groupon site the following when you purchase it "$99 for carpet cleaning of a two-story home with up to 2,500 square feet of carpet (a $530 value)During 1.5- to 3-hour appointments, the certified cleaners remove stains, odors, and allergens from carpets using steam-cleaning techniques.".
When the technician came by to do the appointment, he said it would cost an additional $45 to treat a couple of stains in the family room, and the stairs. I showed him what the website states (above), so he ran and called the owner Jeff.  I spoke with Jeff's answering service girl/ Sarah, was her name I believe.  Even though that's False Advertising to state what's stated above to get you to purchase the groupon, Jeff told Saran and the technician that he would stick by the statement on the actual printed voucher which states stains may be extra.  
I cancelled the appointment.  
Once again - this is false advertising.  The technician claims Groupon shouldn't put that on their site.  However, if that gets Thunderbolt Carpet Cleaning extra business, they should honor what's stated.

Dear Customer,

Customer satisfaction is our number one priority and we would like to address this report.  Below you will find a copy of the Groupon Voucher to which the customer made reference.  In the voucher, you will see the voucher is for a two-storyhome with up to 2,5000 square feet of carpet.

In the fine print section of the coupon, it states, "Extra fee for cleaning of non-carpeted areas, pet stains, dark-color stains, and rust stains.  Extra feel for additional sq. footage exceeding 1250 sq ft. for 1 story or 2500 sq ft of 2 stories.  Must use promotional value in 1 visit." The customer's request fell into the fine print stipulaitions, thus the technician was correct to tell the customer additional fees will be charged to complete his/her request. It is unfortunate the customer was dissatisfied; however, we must honor what is printed to be fair to all customers.
