Many of us are taking advantage of the offer from Topcashback and Raise to get $10 per gift card listed when going through the portal. This really takes the sting out of the commission cost of selling gift cards and makes Raise the best option temporarily to sell gift cards.
It’s now being advertised that the promo ends in 6 days.
Note: Last month, they also indicated that the offer will end soon, but they ended up continuing it. We hope this will happen again. That said, the offer is extremely generous and it has to end some time; this may be the real end now.
Also note, that we all got the cashback from July uplifted to the proper rate of $10 in mid-August, which gives us more confidence that they will pull through for the August cashback as well.
I saw this and got excited and order 5 SW airline GCs to list on Raise, just to learn they have a 45 days hold to their travel gift cards, for fraud prevention? What the hack? Has anybody else had this crap told to them? Now I am stuck
I’ve been waiting for $140 in hotel bookings rebates from topcashback since November, 2014.
That is 10 months and a hefty file of emails worth of waiting. And as long as they remain deadbeats, I continue to buy nothing else through them. They appear to be masters of feigned ignorance and willfully woeful institutional memory and their habit is to make up the rules as they go along. Enron was the same way until the indictments.
I noticed that they changed the wording to indicate that payouts will happen at the beginning of next month, as opposed to at the end of this month. At least they’re being more honest about the timing of payments.
Wish i had learned more about Raise sooner. Does a $50 GC posted qualify for the $10? o does it have to be over $50 in the sold price? Terms seem like its just the GC value but i was hoping someone could confirm before i post any more.
Regardless of what you sell it for, as long as the value of the card is $50+ then it qualifies.
Thanks, so should i not post another GC until i see the tracking on TCB?
I think you should wait until it posts until you list another gift card.
Any confirmation this is actually working? I know the $10 up-lift has been confirmed, but curious if anyone can confirm the up-lift from $1.50 for a $50 GC selling for less than $50. The information I can see on TCB only shows the list price for my $50 GCs so skeptical I am going to see $10 per card.
Chuck, how do it work, do you get $10 for listing, or must it sale before time is up? Also, when I went through TCB and got to sell page, noticed Raise has a promo that is available (SELL10AF or something). Would using that promo mess up TCB thing…, what is benefit of using it? Thanks.
I believe it can sell after the promo is up.
If I’m not mistaken, the two promos can work together. Check the fine print on TCB and see what it says there.
Say the standard “may.” “Please note that the use of a Raise promotional/coupon code not posted and approved by TopCashback, may affect your eligibility for cashback.”
does Raise GC purchase qualifies as 5x on Ink cards ?
Not that I’m aware of.
Not everyone got their $10 uplifted to the proper rate. I have not and topcashback’s response is that they will do an investigation that they say “will take months” as they are sending the inquiries to raise in batches.
I simply will cease using both raise and topcashback until its resolved. Topcashback does not have a good rep on properly tracking, I was hesitant to use them. Even if its corrected, if it takes months Not sure I will again simply not worth the hassle
Sorry to hear it wasn’t automatic for you.
Mine did not track at all either. Perhaps my $1000 in purchases precedes me.
