Recognize and reward your employees with the gift of experiences

We are the sum total of our experiences.
–B.J. Neblett

When it comes to rewarding your team, should you prioritize things or experiences?

Our research shows that almost half of employees prefer an experiential reward, and this seems to reflect the larger population, since 74% of Americans now prioritize experiences over products or things. Millennials, in particular, are leading the charge. ✈️

We all want to live life to the fullest, after all.

Like me, for example! This summer, I spent time in Paris fulfilling a childhood dream to immerse myself in a new culture and live like a local for a few weeks. I planned the entire trip myself; discovering trendy places to eat, live, explore, and shop. I treasure my memories from that trip, and it’s encouraged me to look out for new travel experiences.

The great thing about Bonusly is how we’re able to redeem our points for things that enable those experiences, like airfare, event admissions, hotel rooms, and more. It makes the work we do and the recognition we receive even more meaningful, knowing that our dedication pays off in the form of a great time. 🎉

Through our partners, we’re able to offer unique experiences for your employees to choose from. So what exactly do we have to offer? Here’s a small sample of our hundreds of reward options.

1. Travel

Land, sea, or sky? Bonusly’s catalog has 'em all. 🙌✈️🛳🚕

Through our rewards partners, we are happy to offer travel rewards for customers to take some time away from the office. Bonusly customers can purchase airfare, book a cruise, or rest easy knowing they can use their points for an Uber ride back to their hotel.

Take your points and turn them right into a gift card for your next getaway!

2. Lodging

An @Airbnb gift card for a trip to Santa Fe next month! So excited. What about you @jfilipecampos? Have you bought anything besides dog food lately?

Tiny home or presidential suite? Whatever you’re feeling, you can find lodgings at every price point through Airbnb and Hotels.com. With Airbnb, you can also find opportunities to partake in one-of-kind experiences hosted by locals. From cooking classes in Italy to safari tours in Africa, you can redeem your hard-earned Bonusly points to do what you’ve always wanted to do.

With endless opportunities available, go ahead and start planning your perfect getaway—or staycation—experience! We won’t tell your boss you’re daydreaming. 😉

3. Fun

What’s life without a little fun? Play a part in your employees’ favorite memories by offering these unique, experiential rewards. Great American Days is experiential gifts provider that provides access to thousands of activities, events, and lessons across the United States. Thrill-seekers, cultural explorers, and lifelong learners alike can find activities they’ll enjoy.

Topgolf is one of our favorite places for great team-bonding session, and Disney? Well, that’s self-explanatory. 🏰✨

4. Entertainment

Use your Bonusly points to catch a new movie through AMC, Regal Cinemas, Atom, or Fandango. If your favorite artist is stopping by or the local theater is putting on a show, Stubhub is also a great place to redeem your earnings. 🎥

5. Relaxation

Exhausted traveler? Anniversary coming up? Just want to be pampered? Here at Bonusly, we are firm believers in taking care of yourself. Take a dive into our catalog and discover all of the different wellness, relaxation, and spa possibilities you can choose from.

This is just a small portion of Bonusly’s experiential rewards. It doesn’t even include our expansive restaurant and retail option, or the ability for companies to add their own custom experiential rewards. 👀🛍
