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.

    Easiest Gift Card Experience

    Date: Dec 28 2021
    Summary

    Probably my favourite gift card experience, because I GOT TO PICK :) Would recommend using this in all organizations for employee recognition. I liked it because even if the giver does not really know the receiver, ie. in large organizations, there's a store on there for everyone!

    Positive

    The pros are obvious - I preceptor, and this was what I received as a thank you. I had the ease of picking from many stores that I liked, and using the dollar amount towards gift cards at any of the locations (You can split up amounts and are not forced to spend it all at one store). The online capacity makes me feel safe, especially during a pandemic, it's as socially distanced as it comes!

    Lastly - pretty instant to have the gift cards!

    Negative

    I have no complaints, the store list I'm sure will continue to expand.

    Date: Dec 21 2021
    Summary

    Overall this was an amazing experience. I liked that there is a mobile app that you can download to use for quicker access while you are out. This was a seamless process and i will definitely use it again for sending gifts in the future!

    Positive

    I really liked how easy it was to redeem the gifts i was sent. There is a big selection of vendors that i can choose from and i like that i can split the gift between multiple vendors.

    Negative

    I could not think of anything that i do not like. This is an amazing program to use.

    Guusto Review

    Date: Dec 21 2021
    Summary

    Overall, I had a great experience with Guusto. I received a reward from my company instead of a company holiday lunch that was cancelled due to COVID and it was a great way to show appreciation.

    Positive

    I liked how simple it was to use the platform. The videos provided made it very easy for everyone to understand how to sign up and use the platform. There were a lot of options in gift cards which was great and not something I have experienced before.

    Negative

    The con was that there was no way to support local restaurants through this program. I appreciate that may be difficult but during the pandemic corporations like amazon don't need our support as much as local businesses.

    The Perfect Tool for Rewards and Recognitions

    Date: Dec 31 2021
    Summary

    Purchasing a large number of gift cards and keeping track of them is problematic. With over 100 merchants, Guusto made it easy to track, mail, and receive gift cards. We may quickly create an account and begin sending and receiving gift cards.

    Positive

    Safe, secure, and reliable. I love Guusto to both send and receive gift cards. You can't ask for more, and it's easy to send out rewards and recognition via Guusto. It hasn't been often that I have needed to contact Guusto, but, when I do, they have always worked with me to answer my questions.

    Negative

    Guusto is not so familiar with many, but that's gonna change soon I believe.

    Review for Guusto

    Date: Dec 30 2021
    Summary

    Overall experience was great for the gusto card. I spend a lot of my money on Tim Hortons but they for sure need more varieties for fast food options.

    Positive

    I like how the Guusto card was accessible to a variety of options and how you can redeem the money at different companies and not use all the money at one place. It was very convenient to shop for different people during the holidays.

    Negative

    I didn’t like how there was a lot of different companies that weren’t part of the Canada industry. A lot of the restaurants were based in the United States and not in Canada.
