Raise

Bought 5 gift cards in all in order to buy a gift from Macys, saved $100 off of $500. Turn around time for ecodes was about 10-20 minutes unless it was your first purchase. Everything worked (used it in the next hour) so I'm pretty happy.

Like the reviews say, they do call you to verify some information even if you're a buyer, but it's no big deal since it's to fight identity fraud. Besides, they're just confirming information that's already in public databases anyways, no reason to be paranoid about your data.

Purchased a gift card from them weeks ago. When I tried to redeem it I received a message "authorization failure." The charge was processed on to my credit card weeks ago when I made the purchase. I have emailed them repeatedly and provided everything they requested such as screenshots of the receipt, the gift card delivery notification, and the message I receive telling me I cannot redeem it. Regardless of all of this, every single time I receive an email from them thanking me for reporting the problem and promising to resolve it and that is all I ever hear from them. They do nothing to solve the problem. I have already paid for the purchase on my credit card, but still receive the message "Authorization failure." The screenshots I send them are all inclusive and perfect. They simply will not do anything but promise to get back to me. I have resigned myself to the fact that I will never get this money back and I am just glad that it was only $25.

I purchased a $200 restaurant gift card ( I paid $158.00) through Raise.com that I gave to friends as a gift. I called the restaurant's customer service to verify the card had $200 on it, and it did. I gave the card as a gift, and by the time my friends attempted to use it two weeks later, the card had a zero balance.

I called Raise.com's customer service, and was told that I would be refunded the purchase price of $158 - I am out the $42.00 difference because I now have to buy a $200 gift card to replace the one I had given to my friends.

So, not only am I embarrassed by giving my friends a gift card that didn't work ( they found out after eating their meal, and attempting to use it), I'm now out an additional $42.00.

If my card had the full amount on it when I received it, and then the amount disappeared within two weeks, it can happen to anyone else. My recommendation is to not be embarrassed like I was, and DON'T USE Raise.com.

While we were very disappointed not to receive the KFC gift card we ordered due to the shipper not sending it, we were very pleased with Josiah's settling of the matter when I called Raise. Our refund was issued quickly with no hassle. It's good to have a go-to company to buy gift cards at discounted prices.

I have been selling gift cards at Raise for some time now and have so much good to say about them! I get a great payout, the cards sell quickly and the staff is so nice! They will deposit directly into your checking account which saves so much time. So many companies give gift cards for rewards and you can sell them there get a great payout! The payout here is the best on the market for every card I have sold! All the best to Raise and the staff! I plan on buying gift cards here also. They help a lot of people!

I used them a few times, then it wanted me to verify myself, I sent in a copy of my photo ID and then they suspended my account. It's freaking me out because wrf are they doing with our personal info

I without a doubt recommend raise.com to anyone! Not only have I saved myself a bundle.(I believe I've saved nearly 2k in last couple months since signing up!) they truly have amazing customer service! Top notch! We bought so many gift cards from a single vendor there was a slight hiccup when we went to use them all in a single order. Granted there was 39, lol.& I don't necessarily rec doing that, unless over the phone perhaps, since most checkout systems aren't set up to accept that many. That said, it caused a major issue, the vendor thought it was fraud. It fortunately did get resolved. Raise customer support was right there for us throughout the process. When it finally all got worked out, 1 of the gift cards turned out to have been used by the original purchaser, according to the vendor. Raise.com *instantly* refunded us, no questions asked. My husband & I both are thoroughly impressed! They stand behind their GCs & their customer! Bravo Raise.com, bravo!

Ordered gift card for restaurant Seasons 52 for $200.00, went to the restaurant and it never worked... innumerable emails, 10 days later still waiting for my refund check. Ordered a Petsmart gift card, 3 weeks later that card never came, waiting for credit on my original credit card. Company willing to give me 5.00 off for my troubles! What a joke.

I dont understand I paid over 200 dollars for cards and did not receive them or a note that they were delayed or back-ordered... I emailed them and got no response... Is this company on the up and up?

I bought $300 worth of cards for Whole Foods. When I tried to use them at Whole Foods, I was told they were stolen. Raise refuses to refund my money. I have since discovered that it is against the terms and conditions of Whole Foods Gift Cards (i. E. it is illegal) to resell them without Whole Foods permission. Raise illegally sold me gift cards that didn't work! Furthermore, the Raise customer service rep asked me not to contact Whole Foods again and to just accept the loss. Seems clear Raise understands what they are doing and that it is wrong, with their advice that I not contact Whole Foods!

If you had asked me 6 months ago what I thought of Raise I would've given it 5+ stars. It was a great place to sell my unwanted gift cards, rarely had any issues with buyers, and got paid in a somewhat timely manner. That's all changed lately though. Now they're asking for very personal information including my Social Security, and holding my money hostage until I give it to them. I'm sorry, but I don't just give out my SSN number to websites.

Raise it probably a safe place to buy gift cards. I was a very reputable seller, and would never try to rip off a buyer. But I wouldn't recommend selling there. If u do sell there take your money out as soon as possible and don't trust them to hold your funds. They're liable to make you choose between your money or the risk of identity theft.

I had been purchasing gift cards from the site and everything was great. I was saving lots of money. Then I bought one card and when I called to check the balance, it didn't have any value on the card. I was very concerned because it was a high value card. I called customer service, and Fawn, who was very friendly and efficient, quickly refunded my money. I will be letting all my friends know this is a business that stands by its product and its customers.
