How much does it cost to use RaiseRight​.​com?
For every cart checkout, RaiseRight​.​com only charges $0.29 cents. You could buy a $10 gift card from just one merchant or a $1,000 in gift cards from 10 different merchants and you still only pay $0.29 cents.
Does RaiseRight​.​com accept credit and debit cards?
Yes. However, they must charge a 2.6% fee to cover the cost of processing the transaction. While this convenience may be useful to some, everyone should keep in mind that purchasing any gift cards that rebate less than 2.6% back to the Gene Grawe Fund will be a net loss for the student’s family.
I’ve heard that some families have two or more accounts at RaiseRight​.​com. Why is that?
In today’s world, many families have multiple bank accounts. RaiseRight​.​com only allows one bank funding source for each customer account. So any bank account that you want to use for online scrip purchases will have its own RaiseRight.com account and a unique email address. Truth is, having two different RaiseRight​.​com accounts works a lot better for our family than trying to complete an external transfer of money between two different banks. That can still take several days.
