How quickly can I hand out a reward?

The same day, if you have gift cards in stock. You activate a gift card in the portal, choose the amount and pay. Once paid, the value is loaded and you can give the gift card away right away. Sending it digitally works too — it's in the recipient's inbox within minutes.

Can any manager hand out a reward themselves?

With a stock of gift cards at the office, anyone responsible can activate a gift card directly, with no in-between step. That's deliberately kept low-threshold: there's no approval step between the moment and the gesture. Anyone using the portal sees all activations under Orders and activations.

What's a good alternative to a cash bonus?

An amount on a payslip blends in among the other figures and is forgotten a week later. A gift card is visible, gets spent on something enjoyable, and therefore sticks better. On top of that, the recipient chooses from more than 250 gift cards themselves, so the reward always fits.

Are gift cards suitable as an incentive within the werkkostenregeling?

Gift cards are often used within the werkkostenregeling, but whether that's possible in your situation and up to what amount depends on your own available headroom and administration. Discuss this with your administration or tax adviser.

Do I keep an overview of what's been handed out?

Yes. The portal keeps all orders and activations together under Orders and activations, with date and amount. At checkout you add a PO reference and cost centre, so costs land in the right place in the administration.

Does this also work for rewards outside your own team?

Yes. Gift cards work just as well for research participants, customer panel members or external partners. You set the amount per gift card and send it digitally or physically, to one address or a list of recipients.

Rewarding at the moment it counts

A large part of a reward's value lies in its timing. Someone who hears on Friday the quarter was hit and only receives something three weeks later no longer makes the connection. A stock of blank gift cards at the office removes that delay: you activate a gift card in the portal, load an amount, and give it away the same day. There's no lead time, no approval round and no minimum order. You only pay for the value you load onto the card.

A reward the recipient fills in themselves

What motivates one person leaves another cold. That's why a Choice Gift Card works better as an incentive than a fixed product: you set the budget, the recipient redeems it for more than 250 gift cards from shops, restaurants, webshops and experiences. For a sales team spread across the country, send the gift card digitally to their inbox, styled in your house style. For a team moment at the office, choose a physical gift card in an envelope or a drinks package for the whole group.

Overview for the administration

Rewards easily fall out of view when arranged here and there. The portal keeps all orders and activations together, with date and amount, and you add a PO reference and cost centre when paying. Want to see what's available first, register for free and browse the range in the portal.
