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.

    Lots of options

    Date: Mar 23 2023
    Summary

    Very good experience, no issues using the gift card. Email showed up good it wasn't blocked or sent to spam so that's good.

    Positive

    I went to Montana's using the gift card which I don't often get to go to. The waitress knew how to apply the gift card which I was surprised about.

    Negative

    A general comment about digital rewards cards, it seems not as special as getting a paper coupon but that's the way of the world now.

    Guusto is a Great Website and I'm Loving It

    Date: Apr 15 2023
    Summary

    Guusto is solving many problems. One problem it solves is making sending gifts so much more fun. Not only do I send money, but I actually show effort now in choosing the perfect gift.

    Positive

    I love how easy it is to navigate the Guusto website. Sending gifts had never been easier. As well, there are many options for different stores to send gifts on Guusto.

    Negative

    I don't dislike anything in particular at Guusto. But, if I had to think of one thing, it would probably be to include more clothing brands for the gifting merchants.

    Date: Jan 07 2023
    Summary

    Guusto has been improving continuously since we started using it. We've really appreciated that the team is focused on optimizing the platform from a user and administrator standpoint and there have been so many small tweaks that have helped us (e.g. ability to update batches of records by uploading a new list, instead of making manual changes). The support we receive has been great. Our Account Manager (Skai) is extremely responsive and always gets back to me quickly if we're experiencing any challenges.

    Guusto Review

    Updated: Feb 08 2023
    Summary

    Easy to use, intuitive interface and offering a variety of gift options to choose from.
    I will recommend it to others.

    Positive

    Guusto offers a variety of gift options to choose from and it is better than buying a physical card. Or, the value of points which is often unclear with hidden markups
    Also, you can portion out that amount to different gift card options.

    Negative

    Funding your account:
    Through Email Transfer is Free for Minimum $500, quite high amount.
    No integration with PayPal.

    Summary

    I win a contest and work and I get sent a Guusto thing pretty soon thereafter, then I redeem it for an Amazon code.

    Positive

    This Guusto software product streamlines sending rewards to employees.

    Negative

    Not as simple as sending someone an amazon gift code, but then again that's b/c you have the option to choose from like 100+ vendors.

    Date: Jan 26 2023
