This site is quite annoying. Why the "earned" $10 off $100 doesn't work with this new SUNNY7 code is beyond my ability to process the world.

Wait until you have to try to contact customer service... one issue they wouldn’t fix offset almost all of my lifetime savings using the site. It was a nightmare trying to get through to them just to reach a dead end.

when i signed up a long time ago i (as always) put in my home phone # that is only connected to an answering machine. Zero spam/sales calls on my cell phone  

So download the app... they require a TEXT message to "verify" the phone that has been on the account forever. Have to call CS to get them to change the phone number to send a text message to be able to log in the app... and then call CS again to REMOVE the cell number.

yeah, i'll stick to logging into the website once every 6-8+ months to buy 1 discounted gift card.

One promo code per order?

Did you chargeback after they were no help? I've used raise for a long time and never had an issue but one bad purchase could erase all my savings too.

Far too lazy to try a chargeback unfortunately, just took the loss and stayed bitter.

I had a couple issues with invalid cards, and here is the trick to get your money back fast and easy.  Snap a photo of the error, then call them.  When you talk to a rep, say my card is invalid, and I have a screenshot of the error, and I want a refund.  They will ask for the photos there via an email they send you and you can immediately send them those photos.  They will then process the refund right there.  Takes about 24 hours to get it.

I've never had any issues getting refunds, but I will admit each purchase is a risk lol

Just got an email from Raise letting me know they put $5 into my account since I hadn't made a purchase in awhile, so everyone should check their email/account balance if you haven't bought anything in a while. Got $20 eShop code for $13.80

Got the same email, and picked up the same amount of credit for the same price. Not bad.

[Z-Saber]

I unsubscribed from emails, but checked my account and still have $5.

[Super Strider TurbulenceEX]

I have the $5 as well until the 30th. Any promo codes work with this?

[Daisydog]

That's awesome. I didn't get one , probably because I just bought from them during their last 7% sale.

I don't think there are any active promo codes for current users right now.

[bee01]

Stay away from Raise.  Sold me 2 invalid PSN codes and they won't reply to any e-mails sent to customer service.

[heatison777]

This one is active for 8/28. From Slickdeals for 7% off gaming cards.

Sorry to hear that.
Did you at least get the automated, "We've received your inquiry" email? Maybe they are looking into it and it's just taking a while. Like SpraykwoN said, you should take screenshots of the error message you got to help with your case.
Hold times aside, calling is definitely faster, and they're usually pretty helpful over the phone. Just make sure you get the person's name if they promise you anything.

Nice! I'll add that to the title and main post On slickdeals someone said it can be combined with the freebie $5 they sent out yesterday.

New customers may still be better off using 40RAISEAF to get $10 off $40+ orders first. And then using the 7% off code on a 2nd order, if you want to purchase more.

Yes, it can be combined with the $5 freebie.

[postaboy]

Nice! Got $5 as well. Now debating whether I should use it on the $20 PSN or ESHOP.

[TheLegendofTyler]

Dang! Should have waited and gotten an extra 7% off. Oh well, this site is such a gamble I wasn't sure if the $5 would work with promo codes.

[postaboy]

Grabbed $20 eShop digital code for $12.48 with $5 and 7% promo code. Redeemed the $20 eShop right away and it's good. Thanks for the heads up.

[Daisydog]

SLICKSEVEN - 7% off Nintendo, Xbox, Fanatics, Playstation and Dominos.

 

It said it was for August 28th only, but the code still appears to be working.

No, they haven't sent any kind of e-mail, automated or otherwise.  I can't even take a screenshot of the error code now because once you report the card, it removes the card code from your order.  I'm just going to dispute the charge and be done with these clowns.

I've bought thousands of $ in cards from them and only ever had an issue with 2 PSN codes which I chalked up to scammers generating and using the codes before I could due to wallet limit.  They refunded them without issue after calling.  I keep tons of shop $ on the app with them when sales like this happen and have never had an issue for what it's worth.

That's great.  I gave up on calling them after being on hold for over an hour.  Also, they don't call you back if you select the callback option.

[Aryss]

I have never had any issue contacting them.  They have helped me right away with the 2 issues I have had with them so far.

0 success contacting them over a 2 week period.

 

I'm not doubting that others have had plenty of good experiences with them, but it only takes a bad transaction or two to sour you on them.

I literally had to call them today about a PSN card I bought 2 months ago and they immediately picked up.  Are you just trying to email them or something?

And having phone support doesn't excuse them from completely ignoring e-mail.

 

Anyway, I've voiced my complaints/warnings, so this will be my last post in the thread.

Raise only takes Paypal when purchasing through the app. Kind of annoying, but it does work.

The first email from them is automated, so if you didn't get one of those they probably didn't get any of your emails. I'm sorry things didn't work out for you.

 

 

 

gamestop.com does fyi. and they dont have the same customer service issues bee01 had with his orders on this site. honestly i'd just go with them instead.

Gamestop won't sell you a $50 eshop/PSN/Xbox card for $36, plus give you $5 off your next purchase. Most people will not have problems with their orders.

Labor day weekend: Use code LDW5 for extra 5% off site wide. Not valid on cash back gift cards. Expires 9/2.

[Daisydog]

New code for current users:

BESTDEAL - 9/6 only. Extra savings on clearance gift cards (7% extra off Eshop. 5% extra off Gamestop)

 

This makes:

$20 eshop cards $17.48

$35 eshop cards $30.60

$50 eshop cards $43.24

 

1st time buyers will still make out better using the code 40RAISEAF for $10 off $40+ orders on their first purchase.
