“Easy redemption, split across stores”
Pros
Redeeming rewards is really easy and I like that there is a wide selection of merchants to choose from. Plus I can even split my rewards across multiple stores.
Cons
I was really disappointed when the specific merchant I wanted for pet food wasn't listed because I had been hoping to use my rewards there.

“Simple to set up and spend”
Pros
Guusto was really simple to set money aside and spend it. The best thing is that the service works at lots of stores that accept gift cards and as a first-time user I didn't have any trouble logging in or figuring things out.
Cons
Nothing major but I wish I could transfer funds straight into my bank as for now I can't send the money directly to my account and for me it would be much more convenient to have the option to withdraw cash from my own bank.

“Excellent for recognition”
Pros
It is an excellent tool for employee recognition and it is really easy to use. I also like the variety of ways available for redeeming your gift cards which works well for our team.
Cons
I feel like it would be helpful if they offered a VISA or general-purpose card option so people could spend the funds anywhere. As I think many employees would prefer being able to use the balance on gas, groceries or other everyday expenses.
