Groupons are just like regular BN egift cards. They have identical starting sequence. The only reason people are being denied is because all the stores got the "memo" from headquarters warning them about Groupon gift cards. If you have them and in a hurry just go to your local store, tell them you accumulated egift cards and would like to buy something. If you can, just wait it out. In a week or 2 groupon deal will be forgotten, restrictions will be lifted and BN would be back to its old normal self with overpriced stuff
