Blueboard Reviews

I liked that the amounts were given is USD which translated to a higher dollar value in Canadian. However, I felt the reward options were geared more for a US company.

How long it would take to try and redeem a reward. They would try to do the 'experience' booking for you, but by the time they would actually process, prices would go up and they wouldn't cover the difference, which made the experience extremely frustrating and having to pay out of pocket for something you expected to be a reward wasn't fun.

The experience reward that I did get to redeem for was very enjoyable in the end.

It was so difficult to redeem your reward with Blueboard. The options to choose from were lacking and dealing with the concierge made it more difficult to use, which shouldn't be the case.

They assigned a concierge and had given options

The concierge ended up booking the hotel 7 hours away from the hotel and never notified and general experience has been poor

I've used Blueboard at two different startups now and both times I've heard nothing but positive things. When I took on my new role at Tradeshift, I started working with the team at Blueboard very closely and they have been nothing short of amazing, from their response time to educating me about new features and even how to maximize existing features. My colleagues around the world love the experiences, the ease of use and it's always fun to see their pictures from their trips. [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] have been such a joy to work with and I've been able to work with them so seamlessly the past few months. If your company doesn't use Blueboard for referral rewards, employee recognitions etc., I highly recommend checking their service out.

I honestly can't say one negative thing about my experience with Blueboard!

We use Blueboard twice a year, as part of our PROPEL Awards. We recognize seven employees through this program: they get a bobblehead in their likeness, a fun experience they can book through a Blueboard concierge, and Blueboard also helps us give a donation to a charity of the winner's choosing on their behalf. They are truly a white glove service, and help outsource reward programs, offering experience-based rewards that create lasting memories, compared to cash-based rewards.

I wish they offered smaller experiential rewards too, so we can use the platform not only for awards but also for spot bonuses.

The software is easy to you. I am still exploring reporting as I build data on the program.

I wish my landing page would be in the same document. I think this would enable my winners to share reviews with other winners. My people are very competitive and they like to show off a bit to each other. I think there would much participation with reviews and sharing if they could share with each other in the portal.

I thoroughly enjoy when my coworkers are sharing their photos of their trips they've taken thanks to BlueBoard. Not only do they seem refreshed from a wonderful vacation, they seem thankful and are excited to encourage other employees to utilize our referral program.

There are several use cases for BlueBoard my company has yet to explore, but we are brainstorming how we can utilize BlueBoard's services to provide even more rewarding experiences for our employees.

There is a bit of a delay between when I've request our account to be filled and when my account actually reflects the funds, but that could be because of my own internal team's ability to pay invoices quickly. I'm happy that our whole company is excited about the referral rewards program thanks to BlueBoard, however BlueBoard isn't a fully global product so unfortunately not all of our employees can benefit from the program.

Blueboard is very easy to use and has a lot of options for experiences in your local area. We have offices in 7 cities around the world, and needed a solution that would feel consistent across the board. Having a single company handling all the rewards made is so much easier than us trying to figure things out in each individual market!

Because it's a white glove concierge service, there is normally a short period of time between your request for an experience and hearing back from someone about its booking details. We have learnt that over time, it's important to explain this aspect to our employees so they don't expect it to be a brief transactional pick and go like an online purchase.

The reporting feature is great for tracking experiences granted and those that have not been redeemed. I also like that it's simple and concise. Employees enjoy the diverse listing of choices for their experiences.

There were times I wasn't able to enter awards on the site however, I realized Blueboard was going through software upgrades at the time. A member of Blueboard always followed-up to enter the award on my behalf. It would be great to have a notification built into the system to notify me of upcoming anniversary awards versus a manuel process.

Blueboard is an easy tool to manage employee rewards. Their customer service is phenomenal and I would recommend to other companies looking for a solution to track and deliver their employee rewards.

The method of updating the employee list could be made easier.

The product was easy to use and navigate on both the front and back end.

It would be nice to see visible data planning regarding upcoming rewards in the anniversary engine or other upcoming rewards planned to be delivered at a later date. It would also be nice to see a wider range of experiences, both in-person and virtual.

The software itself it very easy to use. It's super intuitive, I like the filtering options (by number of people in your party) and I really like the heart/like feature that lets me save the activities I'm most interested in.

I honestly don't have any complaints about the software.

My favorite thing is how friendly the reps are. They are willing to do whatever (within limits) it takes to help you get the best experience!

My least favorite would be that there are some experieces that Bonusly (or is it our workplace?) will not let us choose. Most of the time they will work with you though.

Adapted well to the Covid-19 WFH environment and really thoughtful offerings. Great CSM team

Some elements of the UX were confusing from an administration standpoint.

Easy to use for both admins and celebrants. Great variety of experiences around the world.

Can't recall any major issues.
Would be great to have a BlueBoard App at some point though so I can sen rewards even when I am not next to my laptop.
