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.

    I rely on Guusto!

    Updated: Mar 11 2022
    Summary

    Overall, I think that Guusto is creative, innovative, and leading the way in improving employer/employee environments and relationships. Guusto has provided a thoughtful, exciting, easy way to be rewarded, receive thanks and feel proud of the work that is being done.

    Positive

    I really like that there are a number of useful places to choose to redeem my Guusto card from. I can gift the Guusto cards that I receive to my daughter who loves Starbucks, my son who shops on Amazon, or my wife who buys gardening materials at Home Depot. The options are endless with over 60,000 locations to choose from. I appreciate how this provides me with the opportunity to share my rewards with others. The Guusto card is extremely efficient to access and redeem. I don’t need to worry about the reward being lost, going unused, or causing the recipients any stress. It is fast, easy to access and exciting to redeem. This allows for the focus to be out on the reward being received rather than the stress of redeeming it.

    Negative

    I have not had a negative experience with Guusto. If I did encounter an issue I know that customer service would be easy to access, quick, and helpful.

    Best Gift Card Solution

    Date: Mar 05 2022
    Summary

    Love using and receiving GUUSTO cards. Perfect and green solution to share with clients or family as a gift.

    Amazing vendors to choose from and choice of increments per vendor is the best part instead of having all your money tied up in one card.

    Positive

    Great selection of vendors to use different amounts on instead of all on one vendor if you choose.

    Perfect solution for business and a great way to cut back on waste.

    Negative

    Nothing is negative about this card and the companies involved. Very easy to use.

    Notorious benefit for awarding employees in general.

    Date: May 26 2022
    Summary

    Our general experience could be defined as a fairly good experience, it has not been perfect since, as I mentioned previously, we have had certain problems with the awarding of metro prizes, for some employees, receiving the prizes has been a quite complicated process since in Sometimes they don't find it in their main inbox, since the inbox automatically detects it as spam. However, despite having had this problem on several occasions, I still consider that this software has provided a quite different system for our company and we are proud to be using it today. We began to notice the time it took to obtain results after using it for a week. During the first week we began to make different award shipments to employee albatrosses. We realized that they had been able to feel more satisfied by completing their activities, which caused that forced themselves more in completing the same ones for you of the weekly award. We will continue to use it in our company, since the benefits it has provided for all our employees have been totally remarkable.

    Positive

    For us, Guusto has become our main way of rewarding all our employees and making each of them feel comfortable completing activities within the company. What I liked the most about this platform is that it works in real time to monitor each of the activities, negotiations and sales procedures that our employees carry out. This real-time report helps us understand the success that each employee is having in a timely manner. individual, We can know exactly if the employee is having a good development of their activities or if they have not generated enough sales to be rewarded. Weekly we reward the most outstanding employees in their businesses. Another thing that I love about this platform is that it has a wide variety of prizes to provide to employees, it has the gift card service and it also has the direct money transfer service. This variety in the awards is quite good, it allows me to send gift cards of all kinds to my employees, I can send them gift cards for a specific store or for a mobile device store. I love that the prizes are so varied, this helps to be able to send different prizes to each of the most outstanding employees. Finally, I must also mention that I love The general report of the complete activities of all the employees, the general report obtained on this platform can be consulted at any time, it has a history of sending awards, it also helps to have an order in the awards that I send to each employee individually, I love being able to access these reports at any time, the reports are stored in the cloud of this platform and I can access them from any device.

    Negative

    One of the main negative things that I did not notice during my experience with Guusto is that the gift cards did not always arrive in the main tray of our employees, on several occasions our employees reported that they had not received the gift card that we had sent them, This seemed quite strange to us since at all times this gift card arrived, however after a while the inbox of our employees began to detect this origin as suspicious, which means that the prizes that we send them will enter the email spam folder. This is something that I really don't like, as this makes it a bit difficult to deliver prizes to our employees, to counter this problem all we have done is ask our employees that if they don't see the gift card in the main tray, access the spam tray to be able to access the corresponding award. I hope that the owners of this software can solve this problem as soon as possible so that the inbox of our employees does not detect as suspicious the origin of the award sent. It is important to note that this problem does not occur all the time, only on some occasions, but in the same way it has to be fixed as soon as possible.

    Date: Dec 02 2022
    Summary

    It solves the problem of giving gift cards someone may not use because the recipient can choose where they would like to shop.

    Positive

    I love that the recipient can choose from so many places for their gift. It means they are way more likely to use a gift card, since they can choose somewhere they typically shop.

    Negative

    I like everything about it. There is nothing I do not like.

    Easy to use platform.
    Good selection of merchants
    Easy to redeem.
    Gift card balance can be combined to use for a bigger valuation.
