## Giftofcollege Reviews
  ### 1. A new and innovative crowd funding platform that caters to a huge pool of prospective students

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Ishan N. | Senior Research Fellow, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 14, 2022

**What do you like best about Giftofcollege?**

Especially the 529 college savings plan, which enables one to buy a gift card directly instead of the conventional way of adding bank details and then making a purchase. Like crowdfunding platforms, one can buy a gift card and directly contribute to the college fund pool. Also, it is available offline at various stores.

**What do you dislike about Giftofcollege?**

A service fee is levied on all online gift card purchases, which is 5% or $15, whichever is more. Plus, the purchased gift cards are nonrefundable. also the redeemed funds are only for that particular pool and cannot be transferred anywhere else.

**What problems is Giftofcollege solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Tax breaks for student loan benefits paid by the employer. At the same time, it can help to receive 529 tax credits, varying from state to state (US). It will benefit present employees looking forward to a higher degree or an advanced course. We already have a few of them.

  ### 2. A Great Untapped Resource

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Higher Education | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 20, 2022

**What do you like best about Giftofcollege?**

There are plenty of upsides when it comes to this platform. The ability for users to not only learn about saving for college which is one of the biggest issues that people face, but also learn how to do it effective is great. Plus I love that others can help you on your journey to paying back your loan easily and conviently.

**What do you dislike about Giftofcollege?**

The only downside is that I don't feel like enough people know about this platform and are able to use it effectively. More marketing and maybe even videos on the site would attract more users to know about this platform.

**What problems is Giftofcollege solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Gift of college is helping people pay back their student loan while simultaneously teach them best practices about saving money and paying their loan back because that can be quite scary.
