Reward Gateway
How It Works
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.
Reward Gateway
Recognition on the platform is monetary when given by managers and non-monetary for normal users. Points can be redeemed for gift cards, products on Amazon, or donated to a charity via the GlobalGiving platform.

The Bottom Line
Motivosity
