This is review of another fraud cinemark card, I chat with Jane, and she give back the refund and get it processed in one chat session, great service and response
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!
Lily was outstanding! She quickly and efficiently identified the cause of my issue, corrected it, and communicated the solution back.
Waiting time is typically 45 minutes to 1.5 hour nowadays. Good selection of discounted gift cards though
I love gift card sites and Raise is my absolute favorite! I have had to contact customer service a few times and a m always pleased with the results.
You can get great deals, You should check it out before making shopping. I had a problem with my card since I did´nt get the amount I bought but in an instant I got my refund.
Josiah was very sweet and helpful. He answered all my questions and introduced me to the company as I am a new customer
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.
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.
Not being sure, (actually no idea) how to use egift cards, I called and spoke to Levi. He was very patient and helpful. Walked me through the entire procedure. I couldn't have asked for anymore than what he did for me! Amazing!
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.
Answer: I had a problem with the lowes gift cards i purchased from Raise as they did not work at lowes. It took upwards of 10 calls and over 3 months before I received my over $700 back. I will never buy anything on Raise again
Answer: People should unite and file a class action lawsuit against these guys, any attorneys reading this?
Answer: You check the balance on the business' website. For instance, if you have a McDonald's gift card, go to McDonald's website to check the card balance.
Answer: The usual issue is that someone will buy a gift card with a stolen credit card and then sell it to Raise (or others) for cash. Usually within 100 days the gift card issuer will find out when they have been charged back for the stolen card purchase, at which point they invalidate the card and zero the balance. Raise.com will refund you the unused balance on the card prior to it being zeroed out, but only within 60 days of your order. Their short protection policy limits their exposure if a high value card is invalidated and you come looking for a refund three months after you bought it. Every gift card reseller has a different policy for refunds. Some are as short as a few weeks, others last 100 days or more. Raise.com's 60 day policy is shorter than many of their competitors, which is why I don't use them much anymore. The lessons I have learned is only order cards you will use entirely within the next month, never gift them to others, and keep a spreadsheet if you order a lot of cards so you can keep track of balances. In all, I've had about 3% of the 200 cards I've ordered suddenly zeroed out. The majority were for improbably large amounts, which is why I now try and order lower value cards. One site suddenly listed 10 $100 gift cards for Jimmy Johns, a sub shop. One has to wonder who would order gift cards like this in the first place, only to put up for resale. It turned out the original buyer used a stolen credit card to buy them all and turned the proceeds into cash. The cards were all zeroed out. I have learned to be suspicious when a large number of high $ value cards in the same amount suddenly go up for sale. So while it may make sense to buy a $100 gift card for Sears, it usually isn't to buy a $100 gift card for Dunkin Donuts.
