"Effortless Recognition and Seamless Rewards Experience"
What do you like best about Guusto?

Guusto makes it incredibly easy to recognize people in a timely and meaningful way. I love how fast it is to send a reward, how flexible the redemption options are, and how the platform removes all the administrative friction that usually comes with recognition programs. It genuinely helps build a positive culture because appreciation becomes effortless Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Guusto?

The main challenges I’ve run into are login issues on mobile devices and difficulties signing in with email providers other than Gmail. Outlook and similar accounts often require multiple attempts or don’t authenticate smoothly, which slows things down when I’m trying to access the platform quickly Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Guusto Team of Guusto

Thank you so much for sharing your feedback! :)

We’re thrilled to hear that Guusto is helping make recognition quick, meaningful, and easy for your team. It’s wonderful to hear how much Guusto has helped streamline your recognition process and enhance engagement — your insights are invaluable as we continue improving the platform!

We also really appreciate you sharing the challenges with signing in on mobile and with non-Gmail accounts. Our team will be working on implementing single sign-on (Google Sign-In), so hopefully this will be available as an option in the future and make logging in on the app even smoother for everyone. :)

"Effortless, Meaningful Recognition That Builds a Culture of Appreciation"
What do you like best about Guusto?

What I like most about Guusto is how it makes recognition feel both effortless and genuinely meaningful. It’s not simply about sending a gift; it helps create a culture where appreciation is visible, frequent, and clearly aligned with company values. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Guusto?

What I dislike about Guusto is the limited international redemption options, which can be restrictive for global teams. Also, the lack of a mobile app reduces on-the-go accessibility. The reporting features could use more customization, and bulk sending can feel a bit cumbersome. Finally, deeper integrations with other platforms would make the overall experience smoother and improve usability. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Gift cards on stereoids!"
What do you like best about Guusto?

Guusto is a gift card on steroids. Within the corporate environment, with locations all over the province...management is able to send gift cards with messages quickly and easily. On the recipient side the ease of use on the website and the vast options available make every gift card a personalized gift. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Guusto?

The only thing I dislike is that I didn't hear about it sooner, and other companies I have worked for didn't use it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Guusto Team of Guusto

Thanks for sharing your experience! We’re glad Guusto is making recognition simple and personalized for your team, no matter where employees are. We’re happy it’s helping you send the right gift at the right time! :)

"Streamlined Gifting: No More Admin Headaches, Just Real Choice"
What do you like best about Guusto?

What I like best about Guusto is the flexibility it gives me to choose my own rewards. Instead of being locked into a specific retailer I might not use, I can redeem my gift value at hundreds of different merchants, including major options like Amazon, Starbucks, and various restaurants. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Guusto?

I don’t love needing to redeem the gift inside Guusto first (rather than receiving a ready-to-use card immediately), since it adds a small extra step when I just want to use the reward quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Satisified Customer"
What do you like best about Guusto?

What I appreciate most about Guusto is the wide variety of stores to choose from. The selection feels almost limitless, which makes it easy to find something I want. I usually convert my Guusto balance into gift cards for the places where I regularly shop. I've never encountered any issues redeeming my Guusto rewards when my employer sends them. My employer recognizes my hard work by sending me Guusto every month, and I really enjoy receiving it. I almost always end up using it for Amazon, which is great for me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Guusto?

I honestly have no downsides to Guusto! I don't dislike anything about Guusto. it's simple and easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Guusto Team of Guusto

Thanks so much for your feedback! We love hearing that having so many store options makes it easy and fun to use your rewards. :) It’s awesome that Guusto helps your employer recognize your efforts in a way that really works for you—especially when bonuses aren’t available.

Honestly, there isn't anything negative I can say, which is surprising. As I've mentioned before, I genuinely like Guusto, and this isn't just flattery.

"Empowering Team Recognition, But Needs More Merchant Options"
What do you like best about Guusto?

I really value how Guusto gives me the flexibility to recognize my team members in the way I think is best. Depending on your position within a company, you often notice strong performers who might not be visible to upper management. Guusto makes it possible for me to shine a light on the great work that helps keep our company running smoothly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Guusto?

Having more merchants available to use when redeeming your balance would be great. Sometimes when you look up a merchant, they're in the system but they're grayed out. I'm not sure why that is, but it would be nice to get access to more merchants. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Guusto Team of Guusto

Thanks for the feedback! :) We’re glad Guusto is helping you recognize your team’s hard work. Some merchants appear greyed out because they only offer specific values, which are listed as you browse. We’d love to hear any merchant suggestions you have—just reach out to us at info@guusto.com!

"Guusto : a new Digital way of gifting giftcards"
What do you like best about Guusto?

One of the best things about Guusto is that the gift cards received in the Guusto never expire. Every gift card received stays in one place, no matter how many years have passed. This is a huge deal for people like me who tend to forget to redeem the gift cards, and then they get lost in older emails. Another great feature of using this platform is that you can redeem the gift card for various retail stores, restaurants, brands, etc. Basically, you can use Guusto gift cards at almost everywhere. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Guusto?

The only limitation that I think can be improved is the Currency change. The US Dollar gift cards can only be redeemed for US Brands and stores, which is a little disappointing if someone is not in the US and receives a US Dollar gift card. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Guusto Team of Guusto

Thank you so much for sharing your experience! :) We’re thrilled to hear that having all your gift cards in one place and the flexibility to redeem across various brands has been helpful.

Regarding the currency limitation you mentioned: if you’d like to redeem gifts in a different currency, this can be done by sending gifts as international rewards. This feature is available to senders on our Premium plan and lets recipients redeem gift cards in multiple currencies, making it easier for users around the world. 🙂
