Our Verdict

A similar offer was around last week too, but this offer is separate with new dates and new eligible merchants, so you can get another $50 this week.

Getting 25% back from a shopping portal at popular merchants is awesome, but of course you have to factor in the hassle of dealing with SYW points. Personally, it was never worth my while for a few dollars, but at $50 it’s tempting.

It might even be 25% on top of the standard portal earnings (so Nike with be 35%, for example), but more likely the 25% replaces the regular portal earnings.

The SYW deal is also valid for Raise purchases as stated, but Raise typically pays out only for new users (up to $1k in purchases). While the SYW portal doesn’t mention this limitation, it seems to be enforced nonetheless. Buying gift cards from Raise probably won’t trigger the 25% bonus for veteran Raise customers.
