How It Works
Bonusly
Users get a monthly allowance of points to award to other users. Allowance points are refreshed every month and do not roll over. Earned points can be redeemed for gift cards or charitable donations.
Motivosity
Users are given a certain amount of Motivosity bucks every month to give recognition to other users. Earned bucks can be spent on gift cards or linked directly to a physical Motivosity debit card.
