Caution: Fraudulent, Unethical, Shady Practices
"Raise stole $173 from me. Unfortunately, this company has unethical and fraudulent practices. They have no customer support phone number and they claim Live Chat but I have never successfully used it.
Recently, I listed a ~$173 Best Buy gift card to be sold by Raise after it was 'approved' by their screening process. Two days later, it was sold and I was sent a congratulations email. Great!
Not so fast, a day after it sold they said there were no funds on the card and that they checked (after they approved it through the initial process).
I called Best Buy, and they informed me that the balance was cleared 10 minutes after it was sold on Raise and was used to purchase an Apple Watch in a state I don't live in. I presented this evidence to Raise in the 4th support ticket and this time they didn't even respond.
I filed a police report for the theft and will be pursuing all legal action possible. I do not recommend transacting with this company."

Worst company. Total RIP-OFF
"Had a terrible experience with Raise.com. I bought a used Kohls gift card from them two weeks ago. However, when I tried to use it immediately after the purchase, the gift card was invalid and could not be used at Kohls. I contacted them immediately. At first, they denied that the gift card was invalid. Then after many emails with screenshots, they finally agreed it was invalid and agreed to refund me. However, after 2 weeks, I still have not received a penny of my refund from them. I contacted them many times but no response. Finally, after 10 emails, someone replied and said the transaction was reversed and there should be no charge. I then sent the person my credit card charge history. They just denied it was their transaction. After I sent them the screenshot of the email confirmations, they stopped responding. So, now, after 30+ emails, I still have not got my money back from them. NEVER buy any gift card from them. If anything goes wrong, you WON’T get your money back. Their so-called one year guarantee is a total joke."

Use it quickly!
"I bought an Outback gift card on Raise in late 2019 – pandemic hit, couldn’t use it for a while – finally went in 2022 and it’s invalid. Raise states 1-year guarantee passed. True – but it’s a pandemic – so it was invalid sometime during the time the restaurant wasn’t even available! Perhaps the credit card company will set them straight – we’ll see. Outback says don’t use fraudulent third party sellers like Raise. Lesson learned – if you can’t use it quickly or redeem it into an app – don’t buy it as it might be fraudulent!"

They will ban you soon or later
"Don't waste your time with this company. I sent endless message and even went to BBB Complaints. Raise will deactivate your account no reason whatsoever it's in they terms. They ask for your ID making it seem like you are getting your account back reinstated but no they want to steal your ID get a selfie and ban you. The customer service there is no customer service they won't help you at all. First time purchase I was deactivated because my card didn't go through. I told them the reason it was a new credit card I got like most credit card the 3 security code on the back but Amex security code is on the front etc so they said all I need to do was verify my ID. I sent my ID and Selfie everything match my card name everything.... Sent me a email saying "internal security not going to activate your account and is final case close" .....they basically treated me like a criminal but didn't state what I did wrong.. I went over the terms and it just say they allow to just ban you with no cause at all... So save your time don't bother.. they mentally drained me the experience was very awful."

Raise motto GARBAGE
"Usually, I don't leave reviews, but when I have a bad experience, I let others know. Around 1;30 AM, I ordered two gift cards. The same day, I received a verification message asking for my ID. Anyway, they told me to contact a live agent. It took me 10 minutes to contact a live agent.. Once connected it took the agent six seconds to disconnect, REALLY? I contacted again and asked to just cancel it, The rep didn't bother to ask me what the reason for my disappointment was, simply saying "OK" and I stated I would be refunded. This is how RAISE.com treated their customers, I would never use them again. Even though I've had bad experiences with many companies, I've never experienced bad customer service like this."

DO NOT BUY HERE!!
"Well go ahead if you dont mind getting ripped off. I purchased $100 worth of AMC movie gift cards. 4 days later when I went to redeem them, all that was available was $5.48. I immediately initiated a request for a refund. They apparently needed a ridiculous 10 days. 15 days after not 1 email or response, I sent another email. Again not 1 response. I initiated a chat 17 days into this and the response I got was appalling. Apparently they will take their "Brand's" word over yours. In my case the "Brand" told Raise the gift cards were used while I had them. Thus Raise then needs PROOF you didn't use them. Be prepared for a wild circus where you either will get so frustrated with the lack of responses or the requirements to PROVE you didn't use the cards. OR just die of anger over it. Either way are going to win and you are going to lose."

Oh please don’t buy any gift card on this website, there gift card they were selling are all used gift cards.
"I bought 450 dollars of gift card on this websites. The first 100 is okay but the other 350 I bought is empty. And when I call there customer service it takes me 30 minutes and nobody is answering my call so I sent them an email and it takes three business days before someone had reply back to me., they said they investigate what happen and they will send me an email again for 14 business days. But until this moment nobody has replied back to. This websites is a scam, so people of internet beware."

$2,000 gift card was invalid but Raise won't refund my money!
"After purchasing a $2,000 Princess Cruises card on the site, I went to utilize it to pay for my cruise which had to paid for by that evening. The card would not go through and when I checked the balance on the site it said the card number was invalid. I waited some time and tried repeatedly with the same outcome. Thus, I had to pay for my cruise with a credit card. I filled a card problem with Raise and received no response. I called and a half hour of waiting on hold repeatedly, I was told it would be resolved. After no response, I emailed regarding the fact that it had not been resolved but received no response from the company. So, I phoned again and after 41 minutes of waiting on hold again, was told that my refund for this invalid card was denied even though they state a Money-Back Guarantee on invalid cards. The reasoning is that now they have supposedly added the funds to the balance of the card, but even if that is true, it was not valid when I needed to use it. Having a balance now does not help me in any way. They did not provide me with the product I purchased and did not stand behind their Money-Back Guarantee. I as the customer received an invalid card, had to email and call repeatedly due to their mistake, had to have both their gift card cost and the cruise payment charged to my card at the same time due to their error and now I am denied the promised refund. That is fraud and false advertising. Don’t believe their guarantee."

Sold Gift Card - Never Paid
"Do not sell your gift cards to Raise, they will not pay you back! I have complained to the BBB and the FTP already but I feel compelled to write on this platform to warn other consumers..
On June 21, 2019 - I listed a gift card on Raise, it sold pretty quickly and I was given a withdrawal receipt once I withdrew. They claimed that it was going to be in my paypal account within 48 - 72 hours. I waited and nothing.
I reached out to ****@**** and reached a person by the name of Rhys - who claimed she couldn't help me at all unless I called. I told her I couldn't call because I was in an area with poor cell reception and even downloading those google call apps did not work for toll free #s.
She never responded, I emailed her over and over again with no response.
Finally, I got really frustrated and tweeted Raise and messaged on instagram. Raise responded via instagram and we have been going back in forth for the last 4 days with nothing being resolved.
They keep letting me know that it was sent in paypal but I spoke with paypal via chat and they saw nothing pending.
The instagram person stopped responding.
So I filed a BBB and FTC complaint.
So I sold a giant corporation my gift card i got from my birthday that I couldn't use because I am in the military and they took my money and will not return my emails.
They are scammers. I will continue to spread awareness and file as many complaints as possible to make sure I am heard. Just because you are a corporation does not mean you get to treat your consumers like idiots."
