Chose Runa
We use all these vendors for redundancy purposes but Runa is a preferred vendor.
Chose Runa
Blackhawk has poor customer service both on the customer facing and account management sides with a lot of turnover. They do not update their catalog that often and do not seem to care if they have your business.

Runa has been very responsive, receptive to feedback, helpful …

Employee Recognition, Birthday recognition, spot recognition, etc. The platform has many options and easily allows for our company to purchase and distribute over 400+ gift card options for our employees in 1 fell swoop. The employee choice has been a huge positive

TruCentive
TruCentive is well suited for when you wish to send gift cards to large amounts of people quickly, whether it is for a gift or a reward for completing an action. One of the main reasons why our company uses TruCentive is that there is a claiming system in place where the recipients have to claim their gift card in the appropriate amount of time or else the budget set for the gift cards returns to our company. That helps eliminate inefficient use of funds.

Cons
Blackhawk Network
No answers on this topic
Runa
  • Support team is responsive, but can take several days or more to get resolution sometimes
  • Status of different brands can change a lot over the course of short periods of time - not always Runa's fault, but sometimes frustrating
  • We've been through several account managers due to turnover. Thankfully, they catch on quick, but does take a bit to get a new AM up to speed each time

We have previously used giftcloud which doesn't compare to the experience we've had with wegift/runa. Far less interaction with runa is required, much better service for our money, wider range of gifts, better service provided to our customers, easy portal

TruCentive worked so much better for what we're trying to do. We were having major issues with our previous platform - it took more time to fix complaints than anything. It seemed we were shooting ourselves in the foot by even trying to offer lunch or coffee to our webinar attendees. TruCentive took care of this, and we haven't gotten more than a request for a resend since.
