It helps increase efficiency of both the employees and the management, thereby reducing time and effort in manually monitoring all this. Pros I find this tool to be highly useful for properly recognizing the progress and accomplishments of employees. All this work can be traced and done automatically by using . Employees and other staff members can be awarded points as per their performance and achievements, which they can actually use. It's functionality is super-easy, and user interface is highly interactive. Cons Pricing of the product is a bit on the higher side, as compared to its competitors. Otherwise, it is a good tool for use. Review Source EP Elizabeth P. Marketplace Product Data Analyst Computer Software Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Overall a Great Platform--Recommended" February 23, 2026 5.0 Overall I feel like it's a great platform. I think there's some areas where we could improve or change, but overall--it does it's job and certainly serves its purpose of helping encourage the habit of a positive shout out of other coworkers. As it is now, I would recommended it to others if I felt the platform would be relevant. Pros is a great tool to encourage the team to give praise to others and helps to make it a routine habit of positive shouting out of other coworkers. While we aren't given many credits, I do feel that it's till a good value for the money. The low amount does prevent you feeling like you have to struggle to use all of your credits up. Cons Customer service response time. I had an issue during the holidays and tried to reach out, but was not able to get a quick response back. There wasn't any posted holiday hours listed I could find. They did get back to me and handle the issue after the holiday however. I'm happy with the resolution, but would've liked a faster response back to me. Review Source AF Angel F.

Talent Acquisition Business Partner Higher Education Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Awardco Ease" February 12, 2026 5.0 Overall, our organization is happy with and the benefits it has provided to our organization. Our peer-to-peer recognitions went from about 50/month to 600/month with the ease of recognizing peers on the platforms. It is also easier for leaders to individually recognize their employees with extra vacation days or points. Pros Removed manual barriers in rewards and recognition for employees; increased peer-to-peer recognition of organizational values; variety of choices in points redeemed; leader recognitions at the touch of a finger; miscellaneous option to award points for special programming/events throughout the year Cons There is a learning curve in running the reports; customer support is not always timely when there is an issue; the swag stores could use an upgrade - we discontinued ours based on quality.

We get tremendous value for our money and there are never any bugs or issues with the system. Reliable and easy to use - no learning curve! and it's great for file sharing. What is not to love??

February 13, 2026 5.0 I found super easy to use and navigate. The learning curve was very short because of the excellent directions for use. I love being able to easily access my awards and have such a tremendous selection of products and gift cards to choose from. It has been a great experience each time I log on to spend some of my reward points. I really appreciate how quickly the electronic gift cards are received after you select them. Pros I really like the selection of options and products offered. The platform is super easy to use. The directions included are straightforward and lessen the learning curve of using the platform. I like that we, as the employee, have more control in managing how we utilize our rewards. The selection of gift cards is very nice and super easy to use. and great value for the money. I have found no bugs or issues with the platform at all. Customer support is very prompt in answering questions. It was very easy to complete file sharing to my personal account so that I could access everything easily. I really like how quickly the transactions happen from time of selection to time the award is received - it's super fast. Cons Honestly, I really haven't found much that I don't like about the platform. I think that maybe our organization could make the awardco icon appear in several places for easy access.

February 12, 2026 5.0 I have loved using for rewards and love the items I am able to pick out and receive. It's a great thing for employees to be able to use and access for acknowledgement that actually represents value. Pros I love the ability to be acknowledged in a way that is valuable to me and the fact that I can get items from vendors that I already like. The items always come quickly. Any issues I have had have been handled right away and completely resolved. It is a great way to acknowledge someone's work! Cons There really isn't much I can say that I haven't liked about . The one issue I had was an item in my cart, that had only been in the cart a short while, disappeared, saying it was now out of stock, but it didn't tell me which item, and as I had several items in the cart, so I wasn't sure which item went missing without a lot of review. Otherwise, it all functions well! Maybe a more filtered way to search items, such as by price low to high? Review Source AR Arthi R.

RECRUITER Market Research Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Recognition That Truly Makes an Impact" February 13, 2026 5.0 I’ve had a truly positive experience with the program at our company. It has created a meaningful and engaging way to recognize hard work, collaboration, and everyday wins. The platform is easy to use, and I really appreciate how simple it is to both give and receive recognition. What stands out most is how Awardco reinforces our company values. Being able to recognize teammates in real time encourages a culture of appreciation and accountability. It feels genuine, not forced, and it has strengthened team morale across departments. The rewards selection is another huge plus. Having flexibility and variety makes the recognition feel personal and motivating. It’s not just about points — it’s about feeling valued and seen for the contributions we make. Pros The selection of gifts and the value of the points that you receive. has made recognition more visible, inclusive, and impactful in our workplace. It’s a program that truly supports engagement and helps build a positive company culture. Cons The only challenge I’ve noticed with the program is some uncertainty around how points are awarded. On one occasion, I recognized a colleague, but they did not receive any points. I’m not sure whether points require a certain threshold, specific approval, or if only management-issued recognitions include points. Review Source VB Vanessa B.

Neat options to choose from. Pros It offered a variety of options and things I actually wanted not just some random thing that I would probably not end up using. It sends me reminders when my rewards are about to expire so I make sure I don't lose them. Navigation is pretty straight forward on the site; I never had any issues. When I had a question about my order, I called customer service once and got the information needed the first time I called and received my package by the time I was told I would. Cons Limitation on amount of money I can use for gift cards. I believe the most I could spend was $185 I probably would have used all my reward money on digital Mastercard gift card.

Pros It's a great tool for all employees and builds morale in the workplace. I love receiving the notes from my colleagues as much as I love to engage and share how a colleague helped assist in any way and how thankful I am for them - it's a great platform that all employers should encourage to have in their company, truly builds you up in your everyday work life. Cons I wish we were able to receive more points to get more swag. It would have been cool to have a bonus point at the end of the year as a "thank you for using it" and being an example of how it's used. Review Source kM karry M.

The website and app are both very easy to navigate, and the process of claiming an award and getting the digital gift card is almost instant. It’s a really motivating system because the rewards feel tangible and useful. It makes celebrating milestones like birthdays or winning a sales contest at work feel a lot more rewarding. Pros The variety of redemption options is excellent. I’ve received awards for several work contests and my birthday, and I love that I can use the points for practical things like Uber, DoorDash, and Visa gift cards. It’s much better than receiving random physical items because I can actually use the rewards for my daily expenses or a night out Cons The platform is very solid, but I’d like to see even more local vendor options added to the gift card section in the future.

I am not sure if that is the intent or not, but it was just an observation. If the prices were the same on AwardCo vs not on AwardCo, that would be preferred. Review Source DP Debbie P.
