Since Groupon is less of a social media site and more for online shopping, there aren’t many account settings to toy around with. However, it’s always a good idea to know how to change your Groupon email address, password, and credit card information.

When you select My Profile, you’ll see a page similar to what you did while signing up. This page allows you to change your address and your preferences so that Groupon can tailor deals closer to you and your interests.
For example, click the drop-down menu under “A Few Basics about You” to select if you want to see more deals geared towards men, women, or both. Or, click the heart buttons underneath “Deal Preferences” to ask to see more deals based on a particular theme.
You can also get more deals from stores close to you by telling Groupon about places you frequent. Click in the text box underneath “Where Do You Want Your Deals?” and type in an address. Then click the drop-down menu beside it and select what that place is to you (e.g. home, work, or a favorite hangout spot). Finally, click Add. You can also get rid of any address you’ve already added by clicking Delete beside it.
Those are a few of the major settings that you can change in Groupon!
