Did anyone receive the SYW points for their Raise purchase? I haven’t and just contacted SYWR customer service. 8% was supposed to hit after 30 days (it has been 40), valid for 12 months. I do not know when the 25% is supposed to hit, but I’m pretty sure it should have happened already.

Wow, I didn’t know Raise was a SYWR partner, but the most significant thing is that the terms don’t have the usual wording Raise puts in portals – “Only valid on the first $1000 ever ever ever through any portal on the planet”. Okay, so that’s how my brain remembers it, but you know what I mean.
Yes, the high light of this post is the 8% you can get at Raise normally. I am sure a lot of people are already capped out at $1000.
Can anyone confirm if the $1000 cap doesn’t apply to SYWR?
Thanks,
Chris
The $1000 cap does apply at Raise. For folks at the $1000 cap, I doubt the 25% would be awarded, since the 8% would not be awarded.
Similar deal with Staples, where GCs do not earn CB, but the SYWR portal does not say anything about that.
I’ll follow up and let everyone know.
You could make an argument that SYW is not cash back since it’s points. It would be awesome if they paid 8%. SYW points good as cash for buying household items like diapers, formula, paper towels, etc.
It says after gift cards and discounts are applied. Does that mean gift cards you use to pay for the order or gift cards that you buy? In other words, do you get the points for buying gift cards.
I believe it is excluding using gift cards to pay. I don’t see anyway they could exclude the purchase of gift cards at Raise considering that is all they sell.
Well the general ShopYourWay terms says that you cannot get points on gift card. So for instance you cannot buy a Macy’s gift card at MAcys and get the points. I don’t know what the deal with raise.com
Is this offer only once per SWYR account?
Thanks
Yes.
