Very cool to see this. It vindicates a report we made over two weeks ago: http://coinfire.cf/2014/07/01/1-800-flowers-reports-bitcoin-acceptance/ (http://coinfire.cf/2014/07/01/1-800-flowers-reports-bitcoin-acceptance/)

Groupon faded a lot, but they still have a good user-base. They might not be able to accept BTC since the related merchants for every daily deal would also need to accept BTC.*
*Unless they make a HUGE investment in Bitcoin to help recover their massive stock value losses.......lol?

well, i would never use this service -- i prefer to do it locally if i can, and otherwise usually go on a recommended service. but it's always nice to see more BTC merchants.

I believe they pass business on to local providers. Either way another win for bit coin.

This place is terrible. More on the list of 'shitty business trying to cling to relevance with one last burst of PR from the bitcoin world.'
Well, except that they are also the industry leader :/

It certainly is. It certainly seems that at least once a week or every other week we are hearing about another major player taking BTC.

Exciting times for sure.
