Thank you

If you don't mind me asking ~ have you had any issues with Raise? I'm hearing more about it and in theory it makes me nervous but I'd love to save a few more dollars!

I heard about it on here a couple of weeks ago. I tried ONE to start with because I was also skeptical. However...it went through on the Target site with no issues and my red debit card took the 5% off. Since then....I have done 4 more.... and they all work.. The gift cards from Target arrive in a few day and I even checked them to make sure they were activated. ALL WAS PERFECT. I am going to KEEP doing this every month..... to save for our next year's summer trip. We are leaving in 2 weeks so I am not buying anymore until we return. I had purchased a few at Target prior to learning about the RAISE site but now I see no reason to do that anymore.

That's the exact message I'm getting when trying to buy 2 Disney Cards. There isn't even a cart number listed. I'm wondering if they're out of stock already.

Yay! I just bought another one! Now to stalk raise for good deals!

For the PP asking about issues with raise... I had one gift card that I bought and then when I went to use it didn't have a balance. I checked on Target's site and it had been used in Cali (I am on east coast) just after I bought it. Sent a screen shot to raise and they refunded my money right away. They really have great customer service.

I had that happen twice yesterday. I used a different browser and it worked. Try logging in and out again.

I love that SITE. I have gotten 5 from them.... so I ended up paying 229.79 for 250 in Disney gift cards!!
12.50 of that was red card savings....the rest from Raise. Every little bit helps.

Thanks to both of you. I'm all about, "it all adds up" - trust me I just get a little nervous with it feeling like I don't have control over it but good to know they have good service.

I'm confused....
250 - 22.50 = 227.50
how did you wind up paying MORE than what the target discount gave you?

TYPO SORRY!! Should have read 12.50 NOT 22.50 and the rest was RAISE savings. I paid 229.79 total and got five 50 buck gift cards.

What's the normal percentage you guys see as the discount on Raise? I just bought $190.36 worth of cards for $182.74 and turned around and bought $200 worth of disney cards from target (5% red card discount). Have like $0.30ish left. That was 4% off on the target cards through Raise. Does it get much higher than that?

4% is a good percent off. If I stalk the site (checking an obsessive number of times a day) I can find some at 5% or higher off. I have only gotten a handful at higher than 5% off, and they are usually for less than $50.

I am hoping to have the full amount for my package in a Disney Savings Account to earn the extra 2% back through that, so I am being pretty obsessive about it. This is our dream trip (last one was a bit of a bust), so I am doing everything I can to be able to afford it.

Awesome, thanks, I will keep checking. And I hope your dream trip is everything you are hoping for!!!

I think I remember reading somewhere about an extra discount for your first Raise purchase? Does anyone know anything about that, or did I dream it?

Never mind! Found it! Use promo code MYRAISE for $5 off a $60 purchase - new customers only.

Oh bummer. Guess I should have looked for something like that before making my first purchase today.

I missed the deal too...... I made my first purchase without that awesome discount too.

Don't forget to shop through a cash back program like e bates (extra 1%) and to use a cash back credit card when buying your target gift cards through raise (1-1.5%). I also just went through e bates before checking out through target (not sure if it will work since its a gc) but it works through raise so we'll see!

If you want the 5% Target REDCard discount, you cannot use a cash-back credit card to pay for the purchase. You have to use your Target credit (or debit) card.
