Raise Gift Cards Legit | Saved Over $11,000

About this video

The creator explains Raise, a website/app for buying discounted digital gift cards, and how he uses it himself. He says he previously used it heavily while doing Amazon FBA and flipping shoes bought at Marshalls / T.J.Maxx, purchasing about $4,000 worth of shoes and buying gift cards at roughly 14-15% off, sometimes, as he claims, 20 to 23% off, which boosted his profit before other sellers caught on and those cards disappeared quickly. He shows his account and claims his savings to date are over eleven thousand dollars. Now he says he mainly uses Raise for food: he sits down at a restaurant such as IHOP, Olive Garden, Starbucks or P.F. Chang’s, checks the discount in the app, and buys a card for roughly what he will spend — for example, spending 21 dollars for a $25 gift card. The card takes a little while to populate on his phone, then he taps ‘use gift card’ to reveal serial and PIN numbers, writes them on the back of the check or shows them to the server, and can leave the tip on the card as well. He notes site promotions, a referral offer where both sides get five dollars, and that tax record-keeping was harder when using the cards for business inventory.

Key takeaways

• Buy discounted gift cards on Raise before paying, rather than paying full price at the register or restaurant table
• The creator claims restaurant discounts around 14% in the examples shown, e.g. paying 21 dollars for a $25 card
• Buy the card when you sit down because delivery to the phone takes a little time to populate
• To redeem, open the card to reveal its serial and PIN numbers and give them to the server or write them on the check; the tip can also go on the card
• The creator claims he once stacked T.J.Maxx card discounts on about $4,000 of shoes for Amazon FBA, but warns that popular discounted cards sell out once others catch on
