BBB Warns Against Buying, Selling Gift Cards Following Christmas Holiday – NBC Chicago
I think this is a little too blanketed of a statement. While there are scams and bad sites out there I feel pretty comfortable buying from a site like Raise, with their 12 month guarantee. I guess there is always a chance they go out of business, like some others have, but that is why I don’t buy pre-owned 3rd party gift cards unless I have an immediate use.

Even with raise, the savings have to be at least 10% for me to take the risk/bother of buying a 3rd party gift card. In 2019, staples gift cards at raise were always at 7% and with the numerous promotions raise ran, I regularly got them for 12 – 15% off. But in the last year, staples gift cards are at less than 1% off. Even with a 5% promotion, that is not worth it for me. It seems like raise discounts are much lower in the last year.
It does seem like there have been almost no sales on Raise this year. I wonder if they are getting enough business from people trying to save money that they don’t need to push it?
