Raise is Awesome
February 16, 2016

Most gift cards I buy from Raise work just fine. Once in a while I get a dud. When I do customer service is great, they credit my credit card immediately.

I save a lot of money with Raise.

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!

Waiting time is typically 45 minutes to 1.5 hour nowadays. Good selection of discounted gift cards though

Raise's guarantee was absolutely flawless in my experience. Within an hour of receiving my Taco Bell gift card, I checked online the balance only to discover it has a zero balance. After getting on the phone with Raise, they were able to check the gift card balance on their end and they confirmed the same thing I encountered. Immediately after seeing this they issued a refund. The safety and confidence in the Raise system the reason I will return.

SCAMMER
February 14, 2016

Purchased a Petco gift card of $155. Went to use it and the gift card actually had $0 balance. So I called raise.Com and they said they would refund me but will take 3-5 business days. I said ok (I had no other choice). So I purchased another gift card for $155 for Petco (Petco was having a 20% off sale on their dog food so I wanted to stock up). Went to use the second one and that too had a balance of $0. So I called again and was told I would receive a refund.
3-5 business days later, I recieve one refund for $155. Did not receive second refund. So I called and was told that they refunded both and that my bank rejected the refund. Called my bank and they said they did not recieve second refund and would not have rejected it anyways. So called raise.com back and they said it was refunded. The rep wanted me to call my bank 3 way, I guess to prove that I wasn't lying (which I didn't mind because I didn't recieve refund, but some people would not like having to do so).
So I called and my bank told them they only received one refund and not a second. Not even an attempt for the second one. Raise.com said it has been refunded. What the heck! So what do you do from there?
My bank is doing an investigation and rasie.com said my account will be suspended for their mistake. They are very rude and does not care for the customer problem at all. This person had gotten so fresh with me that I couldn't even believe there was a complete at out there treating customers like this.

I have enjoyed many purchases from Raise and have been treated with respect and concern anytime I had any issue. The company backs the product they sell and are concerned with customer satisfaction,, its refreshing to do business with a company who actually values your business. I will continue to make purchases from them and tell others about their great customer service.

I have been purchasing gift card through your company and now i feel uneasy due to my $300 petco gift card received through mail was a fake. Customer service should at least compensate for what has happen and figure ways to verify seller information before selling it online. I feel customer service is nice but should make buyer happy.

I was having trouble ordering a specific gift card I saw on the Raise website. Levi was very good at explaining what had happened. He was very kind and patient.

They have a horrible customer service. I had 2 orders from them for Wholefoods. Because of some policy change at Wholefoods i was unable to use most of those gifttcards. When i requested for refunds, they said i will get a refund of about $210. What i got back was $40 and they simply say that i have used up all my other giftcards which is totally false.

I had a question about one of my cards. They warned me I was selling to low and fixed it right away. I sold my card at a higher price minutes latter.

Raise is AMAZING
February 11, 2016

I love Raise.com and my Raise app. And I tell EVERYONE about it. It's been an amazing cost savings to my family. Super easy to use, and the notification/alerts are so helpful so I know what's going on without stalking the site/my app for gift cards I need every second. I LOVE it! I also have had a few minor issues with gift cards (2% in the grand scheme of all my thousands of dollars of purchases), which were resolved very timely by the Raise staff. The Raise guarantee is true and they do back up their service with people who care.

Sergio was great in helping me solve my problem. He told me exactly what to do and it solved what I had done wrong. Also, I thought it was wonderful that I got a call back and didn't have to hold on forever until someone answered. I will keep using Raise for the excellent discounts I get.
