How It Works
Guusto
Users are divided into teams, each with its own admins, settings, and program configuration. In teams with monetary recognition, users can redeem their points for gift cards.
Nectar
Users get a monthly allowance of points to give out that refresh every month. Earned points can be spent on gift cards or Amazon products.
