"Give Yourself A RAISE!"

5/5

What do you like best about Raise?

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.

What do you dislike about Raise?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Raise:

They also have a new feature called Raise Pay. You can buy gift cards for the full value needed for your purchase and spend the same amount you would normally, but get instant rebates for doing so! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Raise solving and how is that benefiting you?

I always look for deals when I shop online. I combine online coupons, cashback sites, and discounted gift cards from Raise and find the best prices when I do all these things. I have saved easily hundreds of dollars. I honestly think Raise is the best and most secure site of all similar marketplaces. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Save your money with Raise!"

5/5

What do you like best about Raise?

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.

What do you dislike about Raise?

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.

Recommendations to others considering Raise:

Raise is a quick and easy tool to use before going shopping, out to eat or anywhere really! The gift cards are all discounted and the savings add up fast! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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