Guusto
We held a balcony decorating contest and residents were rewarded with the ability to quickly and easily select the gift card that best suited their needs. I was awarded a gift card for performance at work and was to access the reward quickly. In both cases, it was easy and seamless for both sender and receiver.

Ease of setup and use is the first and foremost thing that appealed to us to use Guusto. Employees had to sign up for Guusto which was a smooth process. Then the wide variety of Gift card selections played another key role in choosing Guusto over the other vendor. Smooth transitioning and setting up with our organization are the key benefits which helped us choose Guusto.

  • You can charge up your account for future use which is very handy, but if you're charging from a credit card, you'll want to load over $500 to avoid fees.

Reactions and replies do the rest.Screenshot of Recognition doesn't fail because people don't care — it fails because nobody remembers. Automated weekly nudges and a Weekly Recap keep shoutouts flowing, alongside birthday and work-anniversary posts that happen on their own.Screenshot of People redeem Coins for gift cards, prepaid cards, or charitable donations — 2,500+ options across 200+ countries.
