What Is Guusto?

Recognition for companies with FRONTLINE, DESKLESS and OFFICE employees. Start with a FREE account, then only pay for people who can give recognition (unlimited recipients). No company email needed to receive recognition and recipients get to choose where to redeem from thousands of merchant locations. Web, mobile and print-out options so no one is left out. No markups and unclaimed gifts are credited back in full. And 1 day of clean water is donated with every gift sent.

Loving Guusto!

5.0 3 weeks ago New

Pros:

Guusto makes it really easy to send and receive e-gift cards as part of our Employee Recognition Program. It's also great to use as rewards for contests, especially as most of our staff is remote.

Cons:

Everything is great, but I look forward to additional vendors being added as options when redeeming e-gift cards.

Pros:

Gusto customer service is top notch. Very quick and helpful. I really like having lots of options to use my gift card with. Also, I like being able to hold the gift card on my account until I'm ready to choose where I want to use.

Cons:

What do you dislike about Gusto?Sometimes it's a bit tricky to get logged into your account but after some practice it gets quite easy. Customer service was great support and sent me info on how to log in .

i love Guusto

5.0 4 weeks ago New

Pros:

I can't say enough good things about Guusto! This platform has completely revolutionized the way I approach gift-giving. The variety of options and the user-friendly interface make it a joy to use. One of the standout features for me is the extensive selection of gift cards from top-notch brands. Whether it's for a colleague, friend, or family member, I can always find the perfect gift that suits their preferences. The personal touch of being able to attach a thoughtful message to each gift card adds a warm and heartfelt element to the entire experience.

Cons:

While Guusto has some positive aspects, there are a few areas where it falls short. One notable drawback is the limited selection of smaller, local businesses in their gift card offerings. I'd love to see a more diverse range of options, especially for those who prefer to support local establishments.

Great Service from Guusto

5.0 2 months ago New

Comments: Fantastic Experience!

Pros:

Easy to use, has plenty of great choices for rewards and allows employees to pick their own rewards

Cons:

Changing between multiple accounts such as receiving a reward to a work account and then wanting to transfer to a different, personal account is not always easy to figure out
