Reasons for Switching to Guusto

Pros

I liked the platform's flexibility. First, I can set up gift links for one recipient or many. Second, I can select one gift card option or have the recipient choose a gift from many options, including eateries, travel, and retailers. Third, I can fund my account via credit card, bank transfer, wire, etc.

Cons

I wouldn't say I liked paying the convenience fee to fund my account with a credit card but this was not a dealbreaker; it is business. However, there are options to fund your account for free.

Reasons for Switching to Guusto

Pros

I like being able to reward colleagues and thank them for their contributions. I like being able to send to multiple folks simultaneously and the functionality of splitting funds when sending them out.

Cons

The interface to redeem is not super user-friendly. I once tried to redeem $65 in amazon gift card and it never went through to my amazon account. When I followed the instructions, Amazon system said the code had already been redeemed and when I followed up with Guusto, they said there was nothing they could do about it. So it was just lost in the ether.

Pros

Guusto is a great and easy way to recognize someone in a matter of minutes and a matter of seconds of them receiving it. It is also good for a large corporation to recognize someone who may not be in the same building as you.

Cons

I wish Guusto has more of a range of gift cards besides just Walmart, Starbucks and Home Depot. Which they were more region specific.

Pros

Streamlined and easy to use for employee rewards

Cons

sometimes difficult to find the reports I need

Pros

Easy to use platform. Good selection of cards for people to choose from.

Cons

Can't say there is much I don't like about it.

Pros

This platform makes rewarding employees seamless and easy. It allows employees to use their rewards in ways that are meaningful to them, and their families. Also, the customer service I have received from Guusto has been incredibly quick and always helpful. I also love that I did not have to set up individual accounts for all of my employees - just email them a reward!

Cons

So far, I haven't found anything that I don't like about Guusto.

Pros

Guusto solves the challenge of celebrating and recognizing employees in a hybrid work environment by providing a flexible and consistent platform. As a hybrid company, it's crucial for us to ensure that all employees, whether they are working remotely or in the office, feel equally valued and appreciated. Guusto allows us to easily send digital gift cards to employees for various milestones, ensuring that everyone receives the same level of recognition, no matter where they are located. This consistency in recognition fosters a strong sense of inclusion and appreciation across our entire team, enhancing employee morale and engagement.

Cons

Overall this is a great platform that we love to use. It would be great if there were more retailers to choose from but the current list is really good.

Pros

What I liked most about Guusto is its user-friendly interface, making it easy to send and manage gift cards. The platform's flexibility allows businesses to customize rewards and recognition programs

Cons

The limited reward options , they can add more merchant where the gift card can be redeemed

Pros

Guusto allows all employees to participate, recognize, and reward, their peers, employees, contractors for all of the things we often forget to take the time to mention. Recognition allows your employees to feel appreciated and good about being a vital part of a team.

Cons

Depending upon the reward amount, your options for gifts changes.

Pros

Its a fun and easy way to share cheers for your peers! Also providing Water to people who dont have access to it in the process!!!

Cons

Havent come up with anything yet. We use it on a weekly/Daily basis to let each other know how great a job they are doing.

Pros

Conveinence of sending or receiving gift cards digitally is eco-friendly and considerate of others time spent cashing them in. The plethora of choices of different vendors are a great way to ensure the recipient gets the gift they want.

Cons

The dashboard interface seems like it needs a fresh coat of paint and the shout out function could use some kind of integration with Teams to allow more people see the recognition others are getting to better celebrate as a company!

Pros

Since the implementation of Guusto, many of our local leaders have been able to easily and consistently provide positive recognition to all our users. It takes just a few minutes to make a post and share it with that person and their leaders if not one of your own. We have definitely seen an improved work environment and healthy competition to get more recognition and rewards.

Cons

The admin, when setting up birthdays, is defaulted to be the top person every month for recognition so no one else can be number 1.

Pros

The GUUSTO gift giving system is so simple and convenient to use. Recipients always appreciate receiving their awards which they can collect, accumulate and use at a location of their choice. No gift cards in the mail - plus confirmation when received. Great system!

Cons

Nothing really accept the worry that some recipients that may not be as tech savvy may find redeeming their rewards confusing.

Pros

I recently used this platform and was genuinely impressed with its variety of vendors. No matter what you're looking for, it seems like there's always a great selection to choose from. The platform itself is very user-friendly, with an intuitive design that makes it easy to navigate even if you're not particularly tech-savvy. Overall, it's a convenient and efficient solution for finding high-quality vendors quickly. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a smooth and hassle-free experience!

Cons

Limited Global Reach: Guusto could expand its vendor network to better support international teams, making it more useful for global companies.

Pros

easy to use , allows you to reward hardworking people with something they can use .

Cons

I do not like the catalog its to small and a lot of the shops aren't everywhere .

Pros

Guusto is an excellent platform for rewarding team members. We used often when our team members go above and beyond in their roles, and it is such a delight for them. It is very user friendly and allows the recipient to select what gift card they desire, which is such a treat for them, instead of receiving one for something they don't like. Customer Support is also a great help, I once had an issue and it was resolved within 1 hour tops.

Cons

I don't like the fact that if someone CC's you on a Guusto gift, it makes it look like it is coming to you, and you can redeem it. Especially when most people do not look at the CC/To sections in an email.

Pros

I like that our management team is able to reward us and we can redeem the Guusto bucks for gift cards at many of the top companies in the US.

Cons

I don't have any complaints when using Guusto.

Pros

It's easy to use and there are a lot of retailers to choose from. It's so much better for businesses to utilize because they aren't limited to a retailer such as Starbucks. Maybe someone isn't a coffee drinker. Choice is always better!

Cons

Because you are locked into a retailer once you've selected it, I've waited until I know that I'm going to go there to spend my gc. On several occasions I have selected a retailer from the list, then it said the retailer I selected was experiencing issues. One was Safeway, the other was The Home Depot. That's been frustrating.

Pros

The ease of use and flexibility to mix rewards and the huge selection of partners.

Cons

I waited this long to start using it. It is so easy for everyone. It’s a no brainer.

Pros

Guusto is incredibly easy to use and provides a wide variety of gift card options, which makes it simple to recognize and reward employees in a way that is meaningful to them. The platform’s seamless integration and excellent customer support have made it a valuable tool in enhancing our company’s culture.

Cons

While the platform is generally intuitive, the reporting features could use a bit more customization to better fit specific needs. Some first-time users might also require a brief tutorial to navigate all features efficiently.
