Did You Say Free?

No! You only need to load people you want to provide a budget for sending gifts, not people who are just gift recipients (learn more).

As many as you wish. Each team can have different admins and budgets (learn more).

Example

A company with 1000 employees may want to set up 4 teams for 4 different office locations, each with a different Team Admin who would provide budgets to 8 of their senior managers for sending gifts. Price = 4x $29/mo = $116/mo.

We load the net funds we recieve. There are lots of options to fund your account (learn more).

Unclaimed gifts are credited back in full. You can set claim periods or cancel manually anytime, saving you upwards of 10-20% a year on your gifting budget!

Nope. Once a recipient has added a gift to their account, it never expires. They can accessit anytime through the web or app, and redeem it for various merchant gift cards. If they select a merchant and do not use the full amount, any remaining balance on that merchantgift card can be used on return visits to that merchant.

Nope. You pay face value for all gift cards. We make money by charging the merchants. So every dollar you spend on recognition actually makes it to your people!

When funding your account, do note that we load the net value of funds received. So we always recommend an ACH/EFT bank transfer or cheque to avoid the credit cards processing or wire transfer fees.

There's no term contracts or minimums. So there's no risk to try out some gifting, and then scale it up if you're people are loving getting real-time recognition for their efforts.

There's also a 30-day free trial for the non-monetary Nomination Box for peer-to-peer recognition.

Nope. Teams without an active Nomination Box are free!

Definitely! We offer preferred pricing for large organizations, or companies that have large rewards budgets. Contact us to discuss custom pricing.

Get started in minutes, not months!

Sign up, send a few test gifts, and then some real ones with a credit card to try things out. Then rollout Teams in less than an afternoon to provide a few key managers with budgets for sending gifts.

If that pilot goes well, scale up your program to add more Team Members, more Teams with different Admins, or a non-monetatry Nomination Box for peer-to-peer recognition. Bottom line, you can get started today, test what works for your organization, and build towards an amazing culture of recognition, without months of strategy meetings.

Zero! We have lots of customers that use Guusto to send gifts to clients, and you can be sure they never train those clients in advance on how to redeem a gift. If someone does get stuck, there are links to help articles right in the gift emails, and our support team is always standing by on chat.

Similarly, your Managers that receive budgets for sending gifts require almost no training. It's a very intuitive user interface, and when you add someone to your Team, they recive links to articles/videos that walk through sending gifts and managing those sent gifts (e.g. editing, resending, cancelling).

Finally, if you rollout the Nomination Box, it typically just requires a short email announcing the program to all employees with a link to a help article on how to make a nomination.

For sure. Setup as many as you'd like. Only Teams with an active Nomination Box are charged, based on the number of Members in that Team. If someone is on multiple teams that each have an active Nomination Box (e.g. real-time peer-peer, quarterly award submissions), contact us for a discount so you only pay one subscription for that person.

No problem, you can add as many Team Members as you'd like. There is no charge to add Members unless they are on a Team with an active Nomination Box. In that case, your bill will be pro-rated for the month, based on the number of active Members.

Yes. Our reporting provides full visibility into your program, so you can see who buys, who claims, the reason, business unit, cost centre, and much more!

Guusto tracks everything your finance team needs for taxable benefits. The report can be filtered by month, but to minimize admin time, most of our clients run the report at year end, and apply it to payroll.

Of course, nobody likes getting taxed. But when you ask your people if they'd like to receive a $100 Guusto gift card that comes with a $30 tax hit on their pay check, or receive nothing at all, almost everyone will be pumped to get the $100 gift card.

Some of our clients that are extra generous, and want the tax consequences to also be covered, will gross up the Guusto gift card value. So instead of sending a $100 gift card, they will send one for $140.
