Really? You probably did this when the Groupon first came out or over the weekend. You are lucky. Maybe I should have just brought the Groupon forms which I was thinking of doing. I just didn't think about having them call a corporate supervisor. I generated eGift cards out of the 14 Groupon forms I received (as was recommended at the Slickdeals.net site) and when I presented it to the cashier, the manager went over as soon as she heard that I'm paying with my eGift cards. Then she said they received a memo that there have been people generating eGift cards from the Groupon deal and she said that my eGift cards have the Groupon numbers and are fraudulent. She confiscated them! I asked for it back and she said that they have to be destroyed. Maybe I should have done what you did by bringing in the Groupon forms and have them call corporate. In my panic that they might void my codes, I hastily used them all online to purchase 14 items worth ~$20 and plan of returning them for a GC or credit back to my CC (which would be sweeter!). Had to subscribe for the free 2 month membership at BN.com to get free shipping. Used 3 accounts to avoid suspicion. It sucks that I have to go through these hoops while some people got theirs with no hassle.

The thing is, there is really no difference if they use the numbers from the Groupon forms or the barcode generated Gift cards. They are equally legit and will both stack, otherwise, the system will prevent the cashier from entering more codes in a single transaction.
