Whenever I receive a reward from my workplace, redeeming it is quick and straightforward. There are plenty of gift card options, and I have never had any trouble using them. For me, Guusto is more than just a rewards platform. I usually don't spend the rewards on myself. Instead, I like to use them to buy something for my wife. Whether it's a small surprise, her favorite treat, or something she's been wanting, it always makes her smile. Seeing her happy is honestly the best part of receiving a reward. I also like that I can access my rewards easily from my phone without carrying physical gift cards, and the redemption process is smooth. > > **Cons**: I don't have any major complaints. If I had to suggest one improvement, it would be to add even more stores and gift card options so there is a wider variety to choose from. > > Overall, my experience with Guusto has been excellent. It is easy to use, reliable, and makes receiving workplace recognition feel meaningful. Every reward I receive reminds me of an opportunity to do something nice for my wife, which makes the experience even more special. It's a simple platform, but it has helped create many happy moments for our family. ----- ### "Unifirst 841" — 4.0/5 > **Mark** | *22 June 2026* | Hospitality | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The Guusto App and website are very easy to use and figure out. the response time when we send out point is instant > > **Cons**: on my app not all our employees come out so I have to come to a computer. that is a little inconvenient as i am working on the plant floor and would like to reward them on the spot > > over all the app and the website are very easy to use. i like that is work fast and i can have it on my phone ----- ### "Guusto party" — 4.0/5 > **Cordell** | *26 April 2026* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The many options of cars that they have I love the variety and how there's always something new every single time that I go on their website > > **Cons**: I don't like the amounts that you have to have to get certain cards it's not really my biggest pro about using gusto > > Overall it's a really good product just need to work with the amounts that they have whenever you choose cards other than that it's a good app ----- ### "Guusto Makes Recognition & Rewards Easy" — 5.0/5 > **HAYLEY** | *24 April 2026* | Warehousing | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: What I like most about guusto is the ease of use on the redemption side for the employee. I love that they receive a text message when they are sent a gift card (due to our workday integration) and I also love that we can print out a QR code so that they can redeem that way versus having to check their email. I also love the guest redemption feature so that they don't have to log in to guusto to redeem. > > **Cons**: There are 2 things that I dislike: 1) the process to fund our accounts has an extra step that we do not have with other vendors. We have to email Guusto finance to request an invoice. All of our other vendors upload invoices automatically in coupa without this extra step. This is likely going to cause issues, as our team is not used to having to do this. 2) I wish the platform handled sending in other currencies better. With our previous digital gift card vendor, we could send gifts in pounds, euros, etc. and it would show that amount on the front end prior to sending (e.g. if I was sending a $100 value GC in pounds, it would charge me $75 USD and convert the funds before I hit send.). > > Overall we have had a great experience with Guusto. The team has been wonderful to work with and the 'pros' of the system are a big step up to what we are doing before. I am very hopeful for a few improvements that would make it absolutely perfect, but we are close\! ----- ### "Great platform\!" — 5.0/5 > **Amanda** | *12 May 2026* | Consumer Goods | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: It's a great platform to send employees recognition for their work anniversaries. It is extremely easy to use and the free plan is great\! > > **Cons**: I haven't come across any big issues and their support to get set up was readily available even though I only wanted to join with the free plan. > > After using Guusto for just over a year, I'm so glad we made the switch\! It's easy to use and a perfect solution for our employees. ----- Page: 1 / 151\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/105459/guusto?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/105459/guusto) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
