Raise Reviews & Product Details

Finding ways to reduce our Cost of Living is what brought Raise to my attention. I can buy discount gift cards on Raise for things that I am going to spend money on anyhow and save money. We buy discount gift cards for groceries, clothes, going out to eat, going to the movies, etc. When I know I am going to be spending money I can visit their website and find the appropriate discount card most of the time. Raise provides a great service and they are prompt in getting your cards to you, electronically. And they sometimes run specials to give you even more savings on particular cards. I highly recommend Raise, for saving money. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ability to purchase gift cards in bulk for discount. I can get plenty at once avoiding major taxing issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The discounts are low I would rather see 30%-50%. I only see discounts for 2-6% that just covers tax. Also theres no points system to reward for being an active customers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Wide range of vendors and good stock. One person's discard is another person's treasure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Once I did have a gift card that did not work. Raise refunded my purchase without trouble, but I found out when I was at the merchant and it was awkward and I ended up paying full price cash on that occasion. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Before I buy anything, I always check Raise to see if I can buy gift cards to lower my final price. After coupons, sales, and apply Raise gift cards, you can really lower the final price to everything you buy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't like the margin difference between the gift card and the actual sale price but the sellers need to retain their money too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that I can purchase discounted gift cards to popular merchants, such as Starbucks and Target, which allows me to save money at the register or online. The discount is typically larger than what the merchant offers during special sales. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't like the fact the Starbucks gift cards cannot be transferred in the Starbuck's app; however, you can use them to buy a transferable gift card in the store itself. It's an extra step but it's worthwhile. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Its very easily to pick and choose your choice of occasion you are looking for and so many different options to choose from and always have deals and have deals Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish that their deals lasted longer than what they offer sometimes but other than that there is nothing else that is to complain about or don't like about it Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only thing I have found raise to be helpful for is the exchange of gift cards with a sense of confidence. Assurance of the balance, validity and seller is not necessary and the platform isn't hard to navigate payment and payout acceptance of information the concept Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I absolutely adore Raise! Most brands are on sale for around 5% off and they often run sales that help you take off additional amounts! Their site started in 2013 and I have used it since 2015 and still continue to use them until this day and it's now 2019! They have 100-day money back guarantee and awesome, super personable customer service! I have saved on all sorts of brands - anything from Target to Groupon and beyond! You aren't just limited to stores - there are also restaurants and activities/experiences available too! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some brands are not available to sell unless you're qualified to sell in bulk. I do not know what it takes to get that certification but be sure to check if your brand is available to buy or sell if you are interested in doing either of those actions. They do take around 12% of the total sale but that is down from their original 15%. You should also discount your item too - overall, still a great way to convert unwanted funds to cash. Your money will take a few business days to transfer to your account as well via direct deposit or PayPal. It is also important to mention not all brands are always on sale. You do also need to validate your account with a credit card for selling and you need to have an active US cell phone number for making purchases; they do validate your identity for your safety and others.

Simplify check out to pay with pay pal or venmo. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love that they have discounted gift cards for nearly everything! I try to check Raise before going to a store to see if a discounted gift card is available. Their selection is great and the discounts can be pretty significant! The delivery times are very fast, usually under an hour for electronic cards. The site can also store your billing information, making future checkouts super fast and convenient! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes I find a gift card that I want and then see that it is a physical gift card and would need to wait to have it shipped to me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Almost Instant delivery. I can actually walk in the store, look how much i want to buy and order the gc to get them instantly!

They have a great collection of GC. Very cost effective too! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

At this point, selling gc on raise is not cost effective. Unless you have a GC that you want to take cents on dollar. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the ability to search through the offerings and filter by price and discount. It's pretty easy to use due to an intuitive interface. I also like the ability to go back through my purchase history to see where I've been saving the most money. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

If you forget your pin, you have to call in and that's a huge pain. I've been using other software since I don't understand the extra layer of verification. Why should I call in when I will be finished with the transaction through someone else's mobile app? Also, the inability to know if gift cards were used or how much is remaining through their interface is not very friendly. I would prefer to have that tracked on their platform.

There is nothing I dislike about the Raise application Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
