What is Guusto?

Guusto empowers HR professionals to develop recognition initiatives aimed at enhancing retention among frontline employees.

In contrast to typical recognition services that mandate preloading and payment for all staff members, Guusto offers a complimentary single-user account that allows rewards to be sent to anyone.

Recipients have the flexibility to select their rewards from a vast array of global merchants.

The platform also provides various redemption formats, including web access, mobile applications, TV displays, and print options, ensuring that even deskless workers can participate.

Furthermore, Guusto operates without markups and contributes to social good by donating one day of clean water for every gift dispatched, thereby fostering a positive impact on communities.

This unique approach not only enhances employee engagement but also promotes corporate social responsibility simultaneously.

    Seamless Card Gifting Experience

    Date: Feb 01 2022
    Summary

    Overall, this is a simple and straightforward gifting platform for rewarding your employees. It's also easy to use!

    Positive

    There are several restaurants and shops to create gift cards from
    Claiming gift cards are not only easy, they are super fast
    You can choose any store that you want, so that's a huge flex.

    Choosing between various stores is possible, but not seamless. The experience can be made a little more easier.
    The various store options can be visualised from a grid perspective.

    "Finally! A Seamless way to give the Gift-of-Choice to your colleagues!"

    Date: Dec 30 2022
    Summary

    Most gift-card providers that allow you to send a generic amount to a recipient and have them choose the merchant is rare in Canada, Guusto solves this problem flawlessly.

    Positive

    Guusto is a highly user-friendly, organized and ready-to-use SaaS platform. The learning curve was minimal, and the ability to fund your account was effortless. The number of merchants available was awe-inspiring.

    Negative

    It's hard to choose a dislike; if I was to choose, it would be the ability to customize the template used for communicating your gift; you're able to select a photo and the message; however, that is about it. Some enhancement on the communication template would be ideal.

    Negative

    Hoping for more available merchants in Canada, but good selection so far.

    Guusto is the new Leader in Employee Incentives

    Date: Feb 09 2022
    Summary

    This is the best employee incentive program I have ever seen in almost every facet. I'd recommend to anyone.

    Positive

    The wide variety of different options for gift cards, and the flexibility with choosing how to use your employee incentives and gifts.

    Negative

    There really aren't any. The only thing that can be improved maybe is adding more partners for the gift cards but they have such a wide variety, I wouldn't really call that a con.

    Perks for Employees in the Shadows!

    Date: Mar 07 2022
    Summary

    This program is very easy to navigate, especially if you have an affiliate credit cards rewards program. Shopping for my gift was as easy as shopping for a reward from my VISA program. Less clicks, even :)

    Positive

    Instant gratification for a job well done. Rewards are very easy to redeem, especially if one is already subscribed to similar-functioning awards marketplaces. There is no pressure for giving or receiving.

    Negative

    There are not enough "common" retailers in the Canadian marketplace. Some of the restaurant offerings are nice but I, for example, live in north Toronto, and about half the restaurants listed are either located in a whole other city, or right downtown. I would love to see more accessible/local gift card merchants such as Starbucks. I also wish there was a link on my dashboard to the Rewards Marketplace. Was a little hard to navigate.

    Multiple options for redemption

    Date: Feb 18 2022
    Summary

    Overall it's been a very good experience šŸ‘ Had one issue with not being able to redeem it on Amazon and kicking me out but I got an email later saying the issue was fixed and to try again.

    Positive

    Big pro is the wide selection available to redeem your rewards and that it can be split among different venders.

    Negative

    A bit of a long email to explain how to set up an account to use Guusto was intimidating and an issue with redeeming on Amazon.

    A great gift for a colleague

    Date: Jan 13 2022
    Summary

    Overall it was a great experience using Guusto service. This is the first time I have ever used such service, and I will continue to use it in the future.

    Positive

    Normally we are not sure about our colleague's likings, so Guusto provides the gift card receiver multiple vendor options where the gift card can be redeemed. The gift card balance can also be redeemed in portions, which is a nice option to have.

    Negative

    I am a Guusto gift card user. I wanted to use my gift card balance towards local businesses. I know there was a pre-paid MasterCard option. Since I am not a MasterCard user, I didn't go for it. Having the option for Visa would be nice.

    Very easy to use from the redemption side!

    Date: Jan 11 2022
    Summary

    Overall it's a great option; I'm sure the administration side is easier for our company than other options, and it gives us the freedom to make our own choices as to where we'd like to spend our funds.

    Positive

    My company has been using Guusto for employee recognition for ~2 years. It's very easy from our side, once we're registered for an account it's simple to log in, accept the funds and choose a retailer to spend them with. It's great as we get to make our own decisions.

    Negative

    The emails seem to roll out to our whole organization in the span of 5-10 minutes, so there is sometimes lag with everyone trying to redeem at once. I have learned to either be very fast, or very patient!

    Updated: Jan 06 2022
    Summary

    I was a little hesitant first on how to use the site but it was relatively easy to figure out. I liked that it was a user friendly website.

    Positive

    I really liked the variety of different types of gift cards that I was able to choose from. It was nice getting something that I wanted instead of a random gift.

    Negative

    It would be great if there weee more grocery store options.

    GUUSTO

    Date: Jan 04 2022
    Summary

    Overall GUUSTO was great and easy to use and setup for a beginner user. Also users do not have to use all the funds that was given to them in one location. They have to option to allocate the funds to merchants that they choose.

    Positive

    GUUSTO is a great option for all employees that wants to reward their employees with gift cards. This option gives the employee the access of where to spend the gift card.

    Negative

    GUUSTO can use more merchants like Sportchek, Atmosphere and other local sporting good stores.
