Good place to purchase gift cards.
Used to purchase gift cards. 99percent worked. One time had a card invalid had to write to support to get refund. Haven’t been getting replies but got refund.

Unable to withdraw funds
I sold several gift cards and I need to withdraw the balance in my GCX account. I have added my bank account info multiple times over the past few days and the account in not being added. GCX has not been responsive to emails.

Due to the circumstances of our marketplace, we push for proof with every reported card issue. Since there are two separate parties involved with every transaction (the seller and the buyer) we must ensure that every decision is based on suitable proof from the brand. This is not with intention to refute your claim as a buyer or cause additional inconvenience. Our ask of more information instead creates security for your return in the case a seller disputes our decision of a refund. If you are having issues with obtaining the necessary information from the brand, please advise our support for additional direction.

I've been using them for a couple of years without issues, but recently my orders stopped going through. Payments aren't charged, nothing is processed, and nothing is received. There's no explanation, messages, or notification, which makes the situation frustrating and confusing. At my age, I focus on what actually works. I've tried different platforms, and #century 100 is one that has paid me.

We truly want to make this right and get to the bottom of what went wrong. It seems there could be a technical issue at play, and we’re ready to look into it to understand what happened. To help us investigate, please respond to TrustPilot’s request for more information so we can locate your account and resolve this for you.
Account deactivated, reactivated after TP complaint
I've used this site for years without issues. Then, out of the blue, I can no longer log in. The account is deactivated. No reason given. No email to explain. Customer service is a chatbot that does nothing. GCX stole about $200-$300 worth of cards that I still have in the account, which I can no longer access.
Update 3/18/2026: GCX reached out to me and reactivated the account. Thanks.

Aditional information you may not like
Usually buying or selling with GCX goes OK, but when things go wrong, the go really bad. I had a card Starbucks card refused that was used online in the same area where GCS, then Raise, happens to be.
Twice now I have been debited for selling a card that the buyer used at least partially. According to GCX, they credited the buyer and then charged me for the full value, and now also another $5 penalty. The buyer was either a scam or incompetent, but I am the loser here. Dealing with GCX is not worth the risk. They will not get a third opportunity to screw me again. Today, I got the message that my account has been deactivated, which means I also will not get paid for a different card I sold through them. Good riddens!
You should also know that GCX is not a Better Business Bureau member although they have lots of compaints on that site.
What GCX did not tell you and I did not know at the time in their reply is that GCX credited my account, but also charged my credit card an additional $20.30. This effectively canceled the credit on their site. I will let you judge for yourselves if you think this behavior is the kind you would expect from an honest company. I disputed the charge with Citibank and now GCX is asking me to cancel the dispute before I can withdraw funds from a different sale that was supposed to be available on March 20.

Our supervisors have completed a review of your case and confirmed that both your account and the debit issue have now been resolved. Your account has been reactivated, and the debit has been reversed. You’ll receive an email shortly confirming both updates. We understand how frustrating this situation must have been and sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused by the initial decision. Thank you for your patience while we worked through this review, please do not hesitate to reach out if you have any additional concerns.
Not Worth the Risk
I almost never leave negative reviews, but this is extremely disappointing.
I bought $500 in gift cards (8 total); two of them totaling $100 did not work at all. I contacted GCX and provided the documentation they requested, including vendor verification that the cards were redeemed by a different user who happened to have my same (common) first name. After many emails back and forth and significant effort on my end, they denied the refund and implied I redeemed the cards. Very frustrating.
I tried resolving this directly and in good faith, but at this point I'm going to dispute GCX's charge on my Visa. I have used Raise (now GCX) for years, but based on this experience, I will never use them again. The discount is simply not worth the risk.

We’ve reviewed the related case, and after investigating with the brand, we found that the gift card was used by confirmation of name. This is the reason behind the outcome of your gift card inquiry. Since the merchant has confirmed the redemption, we recommend reaching out to a representative to determine whether the funds are being held, applied to any pending charges, or if there may be a technical issue with the redemption process. Our review has confirmed that the full balance of the gift card was successfully applied for redemption. We always aim to ensure fair resolution in every case as promised in our Guarantee, and suggest that the merchant provide further direction.

We completely understand that managing gift cards isn’t always top of mind, and it can be frustrating to run into timing limitations. We truly want you to have the best possible experience on the GCX platform, and that’s why we strongly encourage redeeming gift cards within the specified guarantee timeframe. When purchases are made on our platform, they are covered under the terms agreed to at checkout. Those terms are designed not just as policy, but as protection. Because these are third-party gift cards, there are inherent risks outside of our direct control. Over time, we’ve observed that the likelihood of issues increases the longer a card remains unused after the 90-day mark. To help reduce those risks and protect our customers, we maintain a tighter redemption period. This approach isn’t meant to create inconvenience, but rather to give you the strongest possible guarantee window and the smoothest redemption experience.
We hope this provides helpful context around why our timeframes are structured the way they are and why we must uphold the agreed terms. Our goal is always to be transparent and proactive so you can redeem with confidence. If you ever have questions or need guidance on a recent purchase, we’re here to help.
FYI do not use this company
FYI do not use this company. Their CEO and founder went out and got a nice loan to found a crypto to giftcard exchanging system. Needless to say, it isn't going well. While the system is not implemented yet it has obviously effected their main business and customer service. For those of you that feel scammed, myself included, I encourage you to file a complaint with your state attorney generals office. Its usually fairly easy to do online and is more than likely the only way you are going to get resolution.
Edit: reasons I am closing my raise account. 1. No customer support by phone. 2. I get a faster response to complaints on trust pilot 3. Constant blocking of my account for no explainable reason. 4. 5 dollar inactivity fee 5. Your TOS say you offer a convenient service. It is anything but convenient. 6. No where on your site do you recommend using a gift card within 90 days of purchase. 7. I asked for the address for legal correspondence and I haven't received a reply. 8. Your email for legal issues is legal at raise
Com. Your service is so bad I had to waste my time writing this and forwarding it to my Attorney General. 10. You can look up my name for my issues. Don't ask me again. Im done with talking. My State AG will do it for me. Thank you.

We hear your concern, please keep in mind that each of our business branches operates independently, with its own set of processes and operations no matter the addition of other business efforts. If this inquiry relates to a specific issue you've experienced on the GCX platform, we'd be glad to understand which order or recent experience led to your review. We have also recently made changes to our customer support resources and continue to refine our approach to enhance the customer experience, especially due to the issues that may occur in the marketplace space. Feel free to either respond to the TrustPilot email or contact Social@raise.com with more details, and we’d be happy to review and work with you to improve your experience.
Orders are not being processed. No explanation given.
I have been using the website and the app for a couple of years now and everything was working fine up until a few days ago. For some reason my orders are not going through. My payment method is not charged. The order is not processed. The cards I order are never received. There is no explanation. No message displayed on the website, no e-mail, no text message. Nothing. Clicking the chat button does nothing. In the end I have to cancel the order. Will someone from GCX please explain what's going on?

We intend to get this issue fixed as soon as possible and will update here once we have gotten final confirmation of the fix.
Stole my gift cards
I submitted two gift cards that I had stopped using for various amounts. They finally accepted them after a few days and then a week later told me there was a problem with both and that a customer reported the balance as $0. I had stopped using the cards so that was impossible but I already unlinked them from my app so I couldn’t check but they just took my gift cards and said their was a problem so they didn’t have to pay me.

The GCX platform enforces policies not just for the security of our buyers, but also for our sellers. In the case you do not agree with our refund resolution, we can always initiate another investigation for this ticket at your request. With understanding that you are refuting the buyer's claim, we have proactively submitted a seller dispute claim and attempted to receive more information. The brand was capable of only providing general information due to security policies against 3rd-party platforms, we cannot retrieve info at the account level. If you would like to pursue in finalizing this seller debit dispute, we ask that you provide proof from the brand that the transactions of your gift card were not tied to your merchant account or name. This will be the strongest evidence in enforcing procedure. We do apologize if this limitation has caused frustration but intend to still provide options for resolutions and workarounds.
After ten years, I can say Raise has gone downhill
Update: The card has appeared on my online account but still does not appear in my app. I appreciate their reply below, but their failure to acknowledge that their app is not showing a card I purchased is really frustrating, and I will be keeping the review because it is frightening that they cannot identify this issue in my app (and claim I never emailed them back -- I sent them a screen capture of the issue with my app!)
I've been using Raise for ten years, and unfortunately, they have gone downhill. After spending boatloads of money over the past decade, I encountered a bug in their app. Long story short, I was charged for a gift card I never received. They've now replaced customer service chat with an AI bot, which told me it had opened a ticket. Seven days later, no response, forcing me to file a chargeback (which I won). tl;dr GCX Raise has gotten greedy, reduced its customer service, and instead of fixing problems will wait for a chargeback, ask the customer to remove their chargeback (instead of fixing their problem), and then will lock your account (with dozens of gift cards inside). Yikes. This is a breakup.

This case has been reviewed and was confirmed that all cards in both orders were delivered to the account without error. The four cards were delivered within the guaranteed timeframe and we confirmed that our specialists did respond to both of your tickets. As you stated that you were having issues but no technical error was found on our end, our specialist did reach out communicating on what you should do to make sure that you do not have anything enabled or are utilizing systems that can affect your experience. However, we did not receive a response back. We performed a review on this error with intention of resolution, since this is not deemed a bug and have confirmed internally that your purchases were delivered via exact timestamps, this issue fell outside of our Guarantee. Generally upon receiving any chargeback, we do follow protocol specified in our terms that may involve locking the account for security and risk purposes. You still have the right of access to your purchased cards when locked, we only limit purchase activity. Due to the current pending status of your chargeback, your account will be temporarily locked until a resolution has been met with your bank. We hope this provides context and thank you for your understanding.

When investigating all accounts under this name for internal location, we have confirmed all accounts' last completed purchases were over 6 years ago. The longer a gift card is not used, the higher the risk a gift card may be redeemed not only due to possible exposure, but also the merchant may freeze the balance due to inactivity. Since GCX has always operated as a marketplace, we consistently encourage our users to use and report all issues within a given time frame to make sure you are covered. We understand issues may occur and do advise that cards are provided by sellers which supports the why behind the creation of our Guarantee. We hope this provides clarity regarding our policy and marketplace structure.
If you are looking to expand your experience with a more finite and secured platform, I strongly advise checking out Raise.com. Gift cards are directly sourced from the merchant, you earn cash-back with all purchases, and both the card and rewards are delivered within seconds. This means more security and zero chance of gift card risk, the balance will always be available for use no matter how long. There are no middleman sellers or third parties involved. Every purchase earns you cashback, increasing the opportunity to never pay full price for future purchases. We understand marketplace structures may fall short, therefore we do provide Raise.com as a great alternative to reward our users while providing top of line security.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to Social@raise.com!
Be careful, make sure it's worth the few dollars you will save.
Be careful. Cards which have a pin number are probably safer than ones that don't. I would recommend checking the balance as soon as you get the e-card. Physical cards with the pin# not scratched off are probably the safest. Do not buy ROBLOX cards in large denominations because you don'need a pin# to redeem. In my case I bought a $25 card for my grandson for Christmas on Christmas day. He entered the information on the card and it was invalid. I tried to get a refund but after many emails with customer service they told me they contcted ROBLOX and the card had been redeemed and my money would not be refunded. Good luck if your gift card doesn't work because it's not the same as when it was Raise. It's hard to beleive after being a long time customer they would basically acuse me of trying to scam them out of $21. Not a very reputable company. Be prepared to loose your money if your card doesn't work. Make sure it's worth the few dollars you will save.

After further reviewing this case, we deem the final resolution sufficient due to the information we were able to receive. During our process of investigation, we have also contacted the seller for proof of purchase to determine gift card risk/exposure level. The gift card was purchased directly by the seller from the merchant, and provided to us for sale. We base our decisions specifically on all documented proof provided, both Roblox and the seller's proof upheld strongly. If you are in disagreement with this result, we are still open to initiating another review but this time will require an email from a Roblox specialist confirming no amount was added to that specific account. Otherwise, the information we have already obtained remains factual.
Buyer's Beware
Buyer's Beware. New GCX place is a scam. I had used this site when they Raise and I'm not going to say Raise was without issues. I purchased a Taco Bell gift card that I immediately reported the day after purchasing for being an "invalid card number." Sent the screenshots, gift card information, ect. But ended up taking it as a loss. So, only ripped off once by Raise. Fast forward to this GCX, this site all of a sudden has denied me access to log in to my account, this account has or I guess I will now say HAD 2 or 3 unused gift cards. I know that when I purchased these cards GCX claimed all gift cards came with a 1 year guarantee, but now after reading the most recent reviews on Trust Pilot, I imagine that I have now been ripped off for all the gift cards I previously purchased since it's been well over 90 days since they refuse to allow me to log in to my account. The reason they give is ridiculous, according to GCX they don't recognize my device. Well you people sure recognized it the last few times I was able to log in and purchase the damn gift cards.

We apologize if our course of action has caused any confusion regarding your account. Upon review, we found that the account in question did not align with our Terms of Use, which resulted in its closure. To reassure you, you do still have an active account with Raise; however, please ensure that only one account is in use at any time.
Regarding the policy update, all gift cards purchased prior to the change remain covered under the 1-Year Guarantee. Any gift cards purchased on or after the effective date of the policy change are subject to the 90-Day Guarantee.
If you need additional clarification or guidance on either matter, please don’t hesitate to contact us at Social@raise.com, where a specialist will be happy to assist with next steps.

We understand that experiencing issues while redeeming your gift card is not the experience you expected, and it is not one we strive to deliver. As GCX operates as a marketplace where gift cards are provided by third-party sellers, we strongly encourage redeeming your gift card within the designated timeframe to ensure full coverage. If you believe the refund denial based on the redemption timeframe was applied incorrectly or does not align with our terms, we are happy to initiate a new review for resolution. Please contact us at social@raise.com, and a specialist will assist you. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

2) purchased a gift card. Transaction seemed to go through.
3) BOOM email saying transaction canceled. Email said "goto this site and click on bottom right gcx for help". That site had no such gcx logo on the bottom right. had to find support some other way. Support email said I needed a photo ID .. which is fine, but, they should have said that at account startup, not lock my account and then ask for photo ID.
4) Website says support available only 9 to 5 mon to fri ... and I'm trying to buy gift card on a Saturday.
They now have my info and credit card, but I can't purchase anything, and I'm worried they are a scam.
