Quick Savings Tip! Buy Discounted Store Gift Cards from Raise

Since I’m cooking up a storm for my son’s Bar Mitzvah, we have quickly run out of room in our fridge’s freezer. My husband and I had been thinking about getting a freezer for a while, so we finally decided to pull the trigger.

We did the research and decided to buy an upright freezer that doesn’t require manual defrosting. We found the best deal on the one wanted at Sears. They even had free delivery and set-up — which made me super happy, because you know how much I love my free shipping.

Even though the price was already great ($100 less than any other store), I still wanted to see if I could save a bit more, and that’s when I remembered Raise.

Raise is on an online marketplace, where you can buy — and sell — discounted store gift cards.

I checked and found a $50 Sears gift card for $46. Even better, since I was new to Raise, I had a $5 credit for signing up – which dropped my price down to $41.

Saved another $9 on my freezer, for about 2 minutes of effort.

If you are planning a purchase at any of dozens of stores, you should definitely check out the gift card selection at Raise before doing your shopping! It’s an easy and fast way to save a few more bucks.

Here’s how you can sign up for Raise and get started with your own free $5 credit. (Plus, if you make a purchase of a gift card today, you will save an additional 5% – instructions below.)

• Go here to create a new account. You should see that the referral code space says mstrom, but if it’s not there, you can type that to get your $5 credit.

• Enter your mobile phone number (you must be able to receive texts) to verify your account.

• Once verified, the $5 will instantly be credited to your account. You can confirm that it’s there by going to Raise.com on a computer, clicking on Your Account > Overview.

• Thru midnight tonight (6/5/16), you can save an additional 5% off your gift card by entering the coupon code TAKE5 at checkout.

NOTE: The links in this post are my referral links. Once you are signed up with Raise, you can create your own referral link to share with friends, family, and on Facebook. When you click thru a referral link to sign up, you get $5 to spend — and your referrer gets $5, too. Win-win!
