### 5/5 — Fortnite & Battle Net balance & World of Warcraft time cards & Apple Gift Cards & Google Play Store

*2026-10-13, version 4.1.7*

Where are Fortnite & Battle Net balance & World of Warcraft time cards & Apple Gift Cards & Google Play Store Gift Cards?

### 5/5 — Garbage

*2026-10-02, version 4.1.7*

Forces me to create a new account. Requires a phone number now. And there’s no spot for people selling their gift cards anymore. It’s just a rewards back program. App went down hill

### 1/5 — No customer service

*2026-09-23, version 4.1.6*

I bought a gift card that didn’t work and there’s only an ai bot saying it’ll put in a case and I’ll be emailed. No email. No live agent. Just the same message again and again. Basically stole my money at this point. Deserves 0 stars.

### 1/5 — Anna

*2026-08-16, version 4.1.4*

Ginnie is useless.

### 1/5 — Total scam

*2026-07-16, version 4.1.2*

Read the fine print they will take your money. I bought some gifts cards that seemed like a good deal at the time but I forgot about them. My wallet still said they were valid but when I went to pay and refreshed the balance, all of a sudden they were gone. Stay away!

### 1/5 — they have no customer service

*2026-07-02, version 4.1.0*

be careful using this app! if you purchase somewhere and need a refund you can't get your money back! They have no one to talk to but a bot and the bot just circles with questions but you can never get your money back !

### 1/5 — Can not get on app

*2026-06-23, version 4.1.0*

I tried to sign up today with a referral code, as there was a promo. I got onto the site and I received no promo and know I cannot get past verification of my mobile number as it keeps coming up with an error. 

I cannot  say anything about how good the app is as I can not get onto it.

### 5/5 — Love!!

*2026-05-24, version 3.5.8*

Amazing app! Helps me save so much money!!

### 5/5 — Amazon

*2026-04-28, version 3.5.6*

I am a huge Amazon shopper.  If I don’t need it right away I always order on Amazon because I despise going into a store.  I absolutely LOVED when Amazon gave money back for their gift cards, but they stopped doing it a couple of months ago and now I hardly use Raise because of this.  Please go back to giving money back for Amazon!!

### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-04-27, version 3.5.6*

Great app
