Question:

How can i assure my card will still be safe to use if i decline the offer, yet have input the card number and pin?

Answer:

Hi Brian, good question! When you are listing a card with Raise, you are actually not selling the card to Raise directly, but rather placing your card on the marketplace for other members like yourself to purchase for the price that you set. The reason you have to input the card information is so we here at Raise can verify your card and its balance. This is to avoid selling any invalid cards to a member on our marketplace. Again, members will not be making offers or placing bids, they will be purchasing your card at the price that you set. Of course, if you have any other questions please don't hesitate to give us a call! We're happy to help.

Question:

I just got a restaurant.com $100 for $6.00... how is that work?.

Answer:

Hello! That's a great question. In order to redeem your Restaurant.com card, you enter the card number on the homepage where it says "If you have a code, enter it here." You will also enter your city or zip code to pull up restaurants in your area that will accept a Restaurant.com voucher. Although you paid only $6 through Raise, you will have $100 worth of credit to use on Restaurant.com. As always, if you have any other questions or concerns please don't hesitate to reach out to us at 888-578-8422!

Question:

Is my social security number needed to make a purchase from raise?

Answer:

Hi Amber. Thanks for reaching out to us! As an online marketplace, our member's privacy and personal information are a priority. Social Security Numbers are not asked of people when placing an order. The only time a Social Security Number is needed is when we are verifying a seller's direct deposit payment. This is used to verify the bank information to ensure we are paying the correct person. I hope this helps! Please let us know if you have any other questions.

Question:

Can i buy an abercrombie gift card and use it right after?

Answer:

Paul, Great question! We do ask that you allow 1-24 hours for your order to process. After the order is processed it will be delivered to your Raise account, or shipped to you if you purchased a physical card. As soon as you receive your Abercrombie card, it will be ready to use!

Question:

Raise seems like they have really good deals but i am extremely hesitant to make a purchase because it seems like the verification process is a huge invasion of privacy with no guarantee that they can protect all that information. why do you need an id card and the social security number? i don't get why it matters as long as the card is paid for- if you were to buy a giftcard from target or walmart, they just sell it to you.

Answer:

Beverly, what an important question. Thanks for asking! Raise takes Member's data very seriously, and we only take information we need to ensure a protected and safe marketplace for all. All Member's data is protected or destroyed per law. Social Security #'s are not taken from Members who would like to buy, and are only used to verify bank account information so we can send ACH payments to sellers.The verification process should not take more than 24 hours in most cases. It usually involves a call into our office to ensure you are the one making the purchase. We may ask for some additional materials, including a state ID via email. Once a verification is done, orders should be expedited or go faster than before.
