Raise customer support
May 21, 2015

Working with raise customer support was a pleasure. My cards order took forever from the seller. I issued a status update and Finn followed up with me until I received my cards 2 weeks later.

Been Scammed!
May 19, 2015

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!

My account was suspended because I didn't call them back. Every call to them took me at least 20 minutes to get to speak to the representative. Will never shop with them again!

Raise Rocks!

Each time a problem with a gift card occurs Raise customer service addresses the issue promptly and with a spirit of compassion. April in particular has worked to rectify a few issues that were completed in a very professional and expeditious manner. You Go Girl!

Great Service
May 15, 2015

Gift Card showed as shipped, but nothing arrived after waiting the allotted time period. Finn double checked and after a day, the item updated with tracking information. Item arrived and I am very satisfied. Will continue to use Raise for all of my gift card needs.

Great Customer Service
May 15, 2015

I had ordered 3 gift cards and had only received one. Customer service investigated and determined that there were 3 shipments. I subsequently received the two cards. Thank you.

Help from April
May 10, 2015

April did a fantastic job of helping me - a new customer - when the e-mail came back "invalid recipient" and no one was manning the chat line this morning. April made sure I was taken care on the phone... and did a great job of comforting my nervousness! Thanks much!

Poor Customer Experience
May 7, 2015

I bought my very first gift card last night... On the app said that my order was "pending". I called to ask about the $5 discount for brand new customers, when the rep told me that I need to talk to another rep. The new rep started asking me regarding my past billing addresses and such... I mean I have never gone through this sort of questions except when dealing with government websites and insurance companies... When I asked her why I was being questioned, she couldn't answer in a professional manner... I honestly didn't have a good experience... So I will not be shopping from this website anymore!

Lizzy was amazing
May 3, 2015

Lizzy was such an amazing phone rep. She's a great asset to your team. After she found out it was my first time using your site, she walked be through the entire process, and even checked to make sure there was nothing delaying the transaction. The transaction went through in no time. I will recommend Raise to my friends!

GREAT service from Ashley
April 27, 2015

I had a problem with a Subway card I ordered that was shipped with a zero balance. I contacted Raise and spoke / chatted with Ashley and got a full refund very quickly and without any hassles.

Finn was exceptional!
April 26, 2015

Finn took care of my issue and taught me how to deal with it if/when it happens again!
He even sent me a follow up email telling me to enjoy my meal this evening, so personal!

Thanks for the help!
