Frequently asked questions
Is Tremendous really free to use?
Yes. There are no minimums, platform fees, or additional charges to send rewards. There are only three possible fees related to monetary options and account funding methods.
What is the best gift card to give employees?
Most employees prefer prepaid Visa and Mastercard gift cards over gift cards to specific retailers. However, some portion of employees want cards to popular retailers like Amazon.com, Target, Walmart, Starbucks, and more. The best option is to give employees the opportunity to choose their own gift card so everyone gets what they want.
Can I buy gift cards for my employees?
Yes, you can buy gift cards for employees. However, gift cards are considered taxable. The IRS classes gift cards as a cash-equivalent fringe benefit, so they must be reported as wages on your employees’ W-2s.
What is an appropriate gift card amount for employees?
Between $50 and $200 will satisfy most (67%) employees, according to our original research into employee gifting. Determining how much to give employees within this range depends on a number of factors, including your employee recognition or gifting budget and employee title and seniority. Typically, high-earners expect gift card denominations at the higher end of this range.
