Raise

I have purchased gift cards worth $3400 to purchase appliances for my new home. I didn't even get half of them in 14 business days which they have mentioned on their website. Tracking information that they provide on the website is completely inaccurate. Tracking information from raise.com shows that some of the cards have been scanned at some USPS location but I got them already. We can't track the cards with USPS website and they themselves don't know where exactly the cards are. Whenever I chat with customer care, they simply point me to the tracking information on the website which is complete nonsense and ask me to wait for 30 days. This is the worst online shopping experience. As of today its already 18 business days and I haven't got all of my gift cards. I have sent emails to support team to investigate what happened to the remaining gift cards which I suppose to get in 14 business days but no response from them. I wonder why they are charging money from the sellers if it is like craigslist.

I was new to Raise.com and was pleased with the results. I had placed 2 orders and was placing another for a Kohl's card. I received the following notice-

In order to further verify your account, please send in two images of your ID, and attach it to this email. For quicker verification we request that two pictures are taken at different angles (90 and 45 degrees), all four corners are clearly visible, and the background is a normal setting to assist in confirming the security features of the ID. Scanned or faxed copies are not accepted at this time. Images cannot be submitted in compressed (zip) format.

At this time we accept the following forms of ID:
1. State Issued Drivers/Operators License;

Once verified, any open orders that you currently have with us should be processed within 24 hours.

If you have any questions regarding this verification, please give us a call directly at *******065.

Thank you,

I have a USA passport but they only ask for non USA
I don't work for the state, I am a professional with my own practice.
I am not going to send a copy of my DL that can be duplicated.
When I called to inquire the reason for the need of verification to purchase gift card for a clothing store, I was told no further orders would be processed w/o verification.
Guess I won't be ordering anymore.
Beware.

I have just been scammed. Bought a Red Lobster gift card on May 4,2015, waited until May 16,2015 to receive it, then checked the card number at Red Lobster before I gave it as a gift. The card had been closed; no money. Now I have the hassle of connecting Raise, and checking with my payment card about this transaction. NEVER AGAIN!

I purchased over $2300 in gift cards thru Raise. At first they were fine, but I tried to use one at Outback ($200) and it came up invalid. After six months of fighting (BBB, State Attorney, Federal Consumer Complaint, writing numerous emails, and mailing letters to their head of PR), I finally got a refund, only for it to happen again yesterday! Longhorn gift card was $100, when I called to check it came up invalid, so I called back and spoke to someone, they were helpful in telling me the card was purchased with a fraudulent credit card and the funds were removed and I would have to deal with the 3rd party reseller (Raise.com) So I called and got nice rep, but of course they couldn't help past the "100 day guarantee) then I asked to speak to a manager, and got the same line. I am determined to fight this in the hopes they change their policy to help us all that have been cheated.

I buy a lot of discount gift cards and have been buying them for YEARS. I have never had such GREAT customer service as I did today from a gal named Blair at Raise.com. When I needed QUICK service and an understanding representative no other online discount card site came through as quickly as Raise.com. I am disappointed in other sites, but this site gets a five star plus review from ONE HAPPY CUSTOMER! Buying cards from them, IS A PLEASURE!

Let me say first that in a month and a half, I've already saved over $300 in cash! I've told countless people about Raise, and I stand by how amazing it is.

Recently I had ordered $100 worth of Taco Bell and KFC gift cards, and for the first time I received cards that didn't work. I informed Raise, and in less than 24 hours I had a full refund.

All I can say is that you have NOTHING to lose and EVERYTHING to gain. Consider it saved money, risk free!

NEVER EVER EVER Use this company! I sold my gift card on this site and they still haven't paid me. Everything upfront was smooth sailing. I listed them, they sold but when it came time for them to pay me all the games started. They wanted to know where I got the cards, what i did for a living, do I travel for work ect... But odd they didn't want to know any of this BEFORE I sold them it was only a concern when it came time for them to PAY ME, Still waiting for my money! I will NEVER use this scam site again!
