I loved the many options to choose awards or gifts. It is the best for the money truly. Pros I really like AWARDCO it has many ways to be rewarded or to reward other employees or staff. There many options to choose from when giving or getting gifts or awards. Found it very easy to incorporate other systems or files for fast and easy delivery of awards or gifts to company employees. The help menu and finding customer service contact was very simple.l and easy to find. Cons I honestly have not come across anything I dislike or did not like about the AWARDCO system. It has always been a rewarding experience. I did not run into any bugs or issues while using this system. Very fast and easy process. 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 Awardco 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.

November 21, 2024 3.0 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. Review Source AG Anthony G. Wholesale parts sales mgr Automotive Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Awardco Review" June 20, 2026 4.0 Truly a great overall program to specialize and awarding rewards for a multi faceted company like ours Pros The ability to reward employees in a quick timely fashion and let others know the company appreciates them Cons Rewards are always by digital and not done with an option for an actual gift card which is more practical for most employees Review Source SW Samantha W. 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 Awardco 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. Review Source AD Amy D. Project Manager Mktg Entertainment Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Love it Awardco is great for any business !" February 12, 2026 5.0 In general we have had a wonderful overall experience with Awardco and I would recommend for any business or teams to give it a try Pros I absolutely love Awardco - it allows our team to encourage one another and appreciate our contributions - it gives employee management an opportunity to engage, they have excellent customer support and who does not love the gift card here and there - what a wonderful thing! 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?? Cons There is nothing not to love - way to go, pat yourself on the back, We use it with our teams and we all love it very much Review Source CM Cendy M. RN Nurse Navigator Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Fantastic variety of products and gift cards on a platform that is super easy to use!" February 13, 2026 5.0 I found awardco 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 awardco 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 Awardco 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 Awardco. 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 VS Viral S. IT SECOPS Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A Seamless and Rewarding Experience" February 12, 2026 5.0 My overall experience with Awardco has been excellent. The platform is straightforward to use, and everything from earning points to redeeming rewards feels smooth and intuitive. I appreciated how organized the system is—nothing felt confusing or clunky once I got the hang of it. What stood out most was how seamless the recognition process became. Instead of feeling like just another HR tool, Awardco actually made recognition enjoyable and meaningful. It’s clear that a lot of thought went into the design and user experience. Overall, I’d say Awardco made the whole rewards process easier, more engaging, and genuinely motivating. Pros I recently had the chance to use Awardco, and I’m genuinely impressed. The platform is easy to navigate, the reward options are fantastic, and the overall experience feels thoughtful and well-designed. Everything worked smoothly from start to finish, and it made recognition feel meaningful rather than just another task. I’m giving Awardco five out of five stars because they truly deliver on what they promise—simple, effective, and enjoyable recognition. Highly recommended. Cons Honestly, there isn’t much to dislike. If I had to point out something, it would be that the platform has so many options that it can feel a bit overwhelming at first. It took me a moment to get used to the layout and find everything I needed. Once I got familiar with it, though, it was smooth sailing. Review Source RS Rebecca S. Account Manager Online Media Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Awardco is Rewarding" July 16, 2026 4.0 Overall my experience has been positive, I ordered a mug and it was delivered in a timely manner and was great quality. Pros I enjoyed how user friendly this website was. I was able to view products that were within my points. I also love that there is an option for gift cards. Cons I have no had any issues with Awardco yet, so far everything has went smoothly and I look forward to using it more! Review Source PW Peggy W. Senior AP technician Primary/Secondary Education Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Not your "run of the mill" rewards co I0810204any." February 12, 2026 5.0 Exciting, fun to have a decent selection of rewards, like they wanted to make absolutely certain my concerns were handled in a positive way and resolved as soon as possible. I loved working with them! Pros They come across with tons of positivity and excitement making the rewards experience very uplifting and like you've done something significant to be recognized for. They handled my concerns very quickly and took the time to verify once I'd received the item that I was satisfied and really got what I wanted. Cons It would have really helped my concern if when I made my selection it was clear as to the specifics of my choice. Like I wanted to make sure the item was black but there was no way to confirm that from their confirmation of the selection. The picture was gray and I certainly didn't want that color.

Give or Redeem Points on any Device" February 12, 2026 5.0 Easy to use from whatever device I'm on and spend or give awards--I've never had an awards website that easier. Pros Whether I'm using points to purchase something nice or giving points to others, Awardco is easy to use. I can give or spend points on any device! Cons When purchasing directly from Amazon, items can be a little more expense (in points) then in dollars. However, when that happens, I grab a gift card and that evens things up! Review Source KR Koty R. Chemical operator Chemicals Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great platform " February 12, 2026 5.0 Great platform. Like I said would be nice to have more options as above. Other then that keep doing what your doing. Pros The awards you get from hard work. The engagement with everyone is the staff, also great reviews you get to see from the awards Cons Could have a lot more options/ already has a lot but could have more in general. Would like to see like use on car parts or discounts on things would be nice. Review Source KA Katie A. Director, Multi-Platform Content Strategy Entertainment Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Highly Recommend Awardco" February 12, 2026 5.0 Awardco has an incredibly user-friendly interface and is very easy to use. The site is easy to navigate and I like that there are 2 different uses of the platform - for recognizing employees and another for using points for items. Pros I like the ability to recognize employees and use different imagery/themes to do so. I have also used the Memory Milestone Book to celebrate a colleague's work anniversary and that was really simple to use as well. Additionally, I like that I can use my points to purchase Paramount swag OR Amazon. I appreciate the flexibility and the variety of options. Cons Only staff employees are included in the list of people that you can recognize within the system. With contract employees excluded, it leaves out a portion of our department's workforce.

Associate Director II, Investments Philanthropy Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Excellent way to reward the people you work with" February 12, 2026 5.0 I have never used Awardco previously, but I have since shared this with others in different firms because I think it is an excellent, and easy, way to give recognition to colleagues. This is sometimes the only sort of acknowledgment they may ever get in a work environment. Pros It is very straightforward to use. The information you might need is easy to find (recipient emails, points available, etc) and the flow makes sense. Cons Honestly, there was very little to dislike. Easy to use and quick. There is no reason not to go in and 'reward' people when the opportunity arises. Review Source EV Erika V. Medical Assistant Medical Practice Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Love Awardco!" February 13, 2026 5.0 My experience using Awardco has been overwhelmingly positive. The platform is simple to navigate, offers a wide variety of reward options, and makes employee recognition feel meaningful and consistent. Many users—including myself—value how easy it is to give and receive recognition, which genuinely boosts morale and strengthens team spirit. Pros The variety of ways to redeem points for Gift Cards. Customer support is always fast and easy. I feel like I always get Items that are Value for money. Also file sharing is very easy and helpful as well. Cons I can truly say I have never had any bugs and issues with the Adwardco. Initially there was a learning curve for me to master the site but once I figured it out it is great! Review Source LE Luis E. Warehouse Receiving Associate Wholesale Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "An innovative program" February 12, 2026 5.0 It helps identify and recognize employees that go above and beyond their duties and gives you an opportunity to express your gratitude for a job well done. Pros Recognizing coworkers' efficiency brings a new meaning to moral in the work environment and helps friendship between employees. Cons There is nothing I don't like about it, I wish this program was implemented in my prior job, would have done a lot of difference in teamwork. Review Source JW Jeanette W. Licensed Practical Nurse Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Lovin' Awardco " February 13, 2026 5.0 I love receiving surprise money, and I enjoy acknowledging the hard work of my co-workers or the ones I supervise. They seem to appreciate it. Pros I like being able to recognize my peers. We get feedback from our supervisor. Also, having a little extra mad money is awesome when I get gift cards. Cons When I first started using Awardco, there was a learning curve. I realized I had to go to my circle to find the names. Review Source RR Ryan R. Specialist II Oil & Energy Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Charitable options are a plus!" February 13, 2026 4.0 I get points and I give them away usually. I occasionally spend points on things I will use, but most often I just give the points to charities. Pros The ability to gift to charities is an amazing feature. The way I look at it, I am doing my job so I want to give to others instead of myself often. I appreciate that the points exist and that we are able to choose items or gifts to receive from them. Cons Not an easy way to filter charities in local areas. Have to comb through the gigantic list to find them. If there were a more simple way to find this information, Awardco would be much better. Review Source JV Jaden V. Seasonal Sales Associate Retail Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Super convenient way to redeem work contest rewards" February 13, 2026 5.0 My experience has been very positive. 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. Other than that, I haven't run into any technical issues or bugs Review Source JN Jeanette N. community outreach specialist Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Love Awardco!"

February 13, 2026 5.0 Everything that I have ordered so far has came quickly, shipped in good quality boxes and has been good quality product. Pros I really like the variety of choices that we have on the Awardo website.

Cons To be totally honest, there isn't anything that I have came across as of yet that has made me have any dislike towards Awardco. Review Source SH Sydney H.
