Awful experience with support." — 1.0/5 > **Jack** | *10 July 2024* | Information Services | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **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. > > see above. massive award redemption issues and support is useless. ----- ### "Incentive bonuses" — 5.0/5 > **Ian** | *26 August 2024* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: I think this type of incentive implemented through Awardco is wonderful for the benefit of all of us workers who recognize effort and good performance, which is more valued. Awardco is a way to create recognition programs, giving incentives more easily and really to the people who deserve them > > **Cons**: I like the function developed by Awardco, and there are no complaints about the software > > It allows for the organization of incentives and for them to become reality in order to encourage all workers to have better performance ----- ### "User-Friendly and Truly Motivating" — 5.0/5 > **Christie** | *12 February 2026* | Nonprofit Organisation Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I love that it’s easy and simplified, making it accessible and manageable for everyone involved. It doesn’t feel complicated or overwhelming, which makes it much more likely that people will actually engage with it consistently. What I appreciate most is that it intentionally builds company appreciation into the work culture. It creates space to recognize effort, celebrate wins, and acknowledge the contributions of others in a meaningful way. That kind of built-in appreciation helps foster morale, strengthens relationships across teams, and reinforces a positive, supportive environment where people feel valued and seen. > > **Cons**: At this time, I honestly can’t think of anything I dislike about this program. It has been a really positive experience overall, and I appreciate how well it functions and supports our team. > > I have truly enjoyed my experience both as someone who recognizes others and as someone who has been recognized. It feels meaningful on both sides, and I appreciate how it encourages us to celebrate each other’s contributions. The platform is very easy to use, which makes participation simple and seamless. I also love the flexibility; it’s great that you can redeem rewards for a variety of items or choose to save your points for something a little more substantial. That option makes it feel both practical and rewarding. ----- ### "Awardco has made employee recognition fun and easy to manage\!" — 3.0/5 > **Angel** | *21 November 2024* | Automotive | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The software offers a wide variety of rewards and has a user-friendly interface. > > **Cons**: Sometimes the system experiences slow loading times, and the reporting features could be more robust. ----- ### "Great way to boost morale" — 5.0/5 > **Katheryn** | *12 February 2026* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Being able to acknowledge employees hard work and dedication to the company. It tends to make a person's day to acknowledge their hard work > > **Cons**: Need to be able to get more than $10 month to give out. It would even boost morale more if able to give out more money. > > Great\! Love being able to acknowledge employees for their hard work. It boost morale when you acknowledge their hard work and dedication ----- Page: 1 / 195\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.nz/software/140428/awardco-employee-performance?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.nz/software/140428/awardco-employee-performance) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
