Awardco

Pros

Ease of cashing in award points and reading the feed of coworker awards.

Cons

No info on the dashboard that immediately tells you how many points you have to give or your giving history.

Pros

It’s very convenient and easy to implement. There are a range of settings and options to set it up to your company’s needs.

Cons

Just getting everyone used to using awardco instead.

Pros

It's helpful that we can use Awardco points towards Amazon purchases. It appears the entire realm of Amazon items are available for purchase with my Awardco points. I was able to save and redeem enough points to get the latest Fitbit fitness tracker I've been wanting. Also, the 'cost' of the Amazon item in Awardco points seems to be less than the dollar amount. I was able to redeem a $30 book I'd been waiting to find a sale on for 15 Awardco points!

Cons

Initially, I didn't realize I could use Awardco points towards items outside of what is listed in the categories for Amazon on our Awardco platform. My only suggestion would be to include this somewhere on the platform. This will prevent users from thinking the best options for redeeming their Awardco points are toilet paper and laundry detergent.

Pros

Awarding others with monetary compensation based on work done. Getting rewards based on the work I've done.

Cons

The redemption process has failed for me on two separate occasions, with support taking 20/30+ (ongoing) days.

First instance of failed remeption happened before the christmas break where after cashing in a gift card for a store through awardco, I didn't receive the gift card and heard nothing for 20 days. After this time passed, awardco support messaged saying that the company who I got the card with was no longer doing awardco cards. Got a refund, but it still took 20 days.

Second instance was when I cashed out over 100 USD of visa prepaid cards before leaving the company. Awardco sent confirmation emails and links to activate the cards before I left. These cards failed to activate, requiring a login through the company I worked with (which I didn't have). After contacting support, 9 days later I received replacement cards which failed with an "apologies we have encountered an error on our side". Still resolving this case. It's been 30+ days since starting this mess. Support have been so far unable to resolve this and I still haven't received my card. Utterly abominable results from a company whose only job is to provide gift cards...

I'm unsure if getting users to give up on redeeming their codes is baked into their business model. Honestly unsured if this company is genuine or not.

Do not recommend.

Pros

I like the Awardco points that you can use for different merchants. We use this app to give incentive points.

Cons

The points are not transferable, unfortunately.

Pros

Awardco offers a physical or virtual spend rewards card. This is the first software I have used that had a physical card, my employees enjoyed this. Another great feature is Awardco partners with Amazon. My employees absolutely loved this because they could truly select a reward they would use and enjoy.

Cons

There is nothing negative to say at this time. The software has been great.

Pros

Love the fact we can use Awardco on all day to day operations. Employees have respond positively to acknowledgements.

Cons

Market place is extremely expensive when redeeming points.

Pros

I love it because it's easier to use and share the good things about our coworkers.

Cons

I don't think there's anything I don't like about awardco, I like it and it's easy to use.

Pros

The customer support rep tried bery hard to reach the sales agent to straighten out our appointment information, but he couldn't even track him down.

Cons

The lack of follow-through on scheduled appointments.

Pros

it works good for me and some others, but some people still cant use it and/or hard for them to open it

Cons

nothing really but not everyone here in the plant can use it.

Pros

Awardco allows users to create, foster, and culture an beneficial workplace culture. By using this platform managers and peer can ensure others feel seen and heard, that their opinions and contributions are valued, and that they are not 'just a number'. This platform enhances workplace satisfaction and contributes to a positive workplace within the company.

Cons

The only think I don't like about Awardco is that it doesn't send the sender of the note a copy of the note that they sent.

Pros

What I liked most about Awardco is how easy it makes recognizing employees. The platform lets you reward people with points they can use on Amazon, giving them plenty of options to choose from. It’s flexible, user-friendly, and helps build a positive, motivating work environment.

Cons

What I liked least about Awardco is that the customization options for rewards can sometimes feel limited if you’re looking for something more unique or tailored outside of their standard offerings. It could also take a bit of time to fully explore all the features if you're new to the platform.

Pros

Easy to use. The format is simple and easy to navigate. It can be learned right away with next to no training. Pretty self explanatory. Great customer service, variety of different vendors to use, and I also like the spot recognition feature that is included.

Cons

Can't really think of anything that would deter anyone from using this software. It gets the job done and you get what you're paying for. Maybe just that the mobile app can only be used as a progressive web app and is limited.

Pros

The site is very user friendly. It also has great awards and variety of awards as well.

Cons

It would be nice if there was a chart of some sort that tells you if you have X amount of points, you qualify for this, etc.

Pros

I love that your employer and fellow employees have the oportunity to reward you with Points to be used to purchase so many things, i.e. like Visa cards, retail store cards, etc. and the oportunity to thank a fellow employee for helping you with a certain project is always rewarding to both the person your giving it to and yourself for giving it!

Cons

There really isn't anything I can think of that I don't like. Who doesn't like being recognized for something you did well, or a Happy Birthday wish, or points to purchase something that you wanted:)

Pros

I like the ease of use that Awardco allows to both give and receive rewards. I also like the variety of rewards you are able to choose from. The variety of gift cards is nice that you can always find something useful to use the awards on.

Cons

Even though you can get a lot of variety of rewards I don't like the limitations when it comes to physical rewards. Almost all of the rewards are digital only and even for the visa gift cards if you want a physical reward it costs the individual payment to get the visa card in the mail.

Pros

i love awardco because getting rewarded and recognized for my hard work pushes me to not only be a better worker but a better person. the rewards come in handy when helping me purchase things for my kids. Awardco is a life saver.

Cons

i love everything a out awardco. i like the many options awardco offers

Pros

The awards are terrific - dozens of choices to spend my award money on. And I really like the group activities where several people join together to earn points.

Cons

Nothing bad about it. I love this app and how it works.

Pros

The prizes and reminders to BE good. And the classes are nice. Can't wait till next year.

Cons

A lot of activities seem to overlap or strive for the same thing.

Pros

The selection of ecards is amazing! A lot to choose from!

Cons

That they charge a fee if you want a physical visa gift card and not a virtual one. It can take up to 3 weeks to get the card.

Pros

I love that any "points" could be used or sent to another user (colleague)

Cons

I would have liked to "buy" points because using all of them wasn't easy (At least in the setup we were using)

Pros

I like the variety of ways to "spend" your points. Unlike other reward programs you are not limited to a "prize catalog" you can shop on Amazon or get a gift card.

Cons

Sometimes the product description could be better. If I feel it doesn't fulfill my needs, I will often search outside of Awardco for reviews and more information to make sure I'm getting the right item.

Pros

ALL THE CHOICES OF GIFTS, ALL OUR PEOPLE HERE LOVE THEM!

Cons

I have nothing negative to say about awardco, its ALL GOOD!

Pros

Awardco is easy to use for recognition. You just login and look for the person's name. You can then start typing to recognize your peer.

Cons

It would be nice to have some sort of incentive when redeeming Awardco points. For example, 40 Awardco points for $50 AMZ egift.

Pros

easy to use and most items are found thru Amazon

Cons

returns, not as simple as returning directly to amazon
sometimes not all you're looking for appears in the Awardco list.
