Have you ever wished there was an easier way to redeem your points on the platform? Or have you ever been out shopping only to realize you don’t have quite enough cash to cover what you want?
Awardco’s new A-Pay debit cards allow you to solve both problems at once. A-Pay debit cards are cards that connect directly to your Awardco account and give you quick and convenient access to your points.
What Are A-Pay Cards?
A-Pay cards are debit cards that employees can use to spend their points, both online and in-person. Employees have the option to use a digital card for online purchases or with tap-to-pay, or they can order physical cards to use in-person, just like their existing debit cards.
A-Pay cards, especially the physical card option, also help frontline employees or those who may not be as familiar with technology. Now everyone can utilize their recognition points with just a tap or swipe.
The ease of use of A-Pay cards will help eliminate unused points in your platform, which will help you enjoy more accurate reporting and budgeting insights much more often.
We know you probably have some questions about this new feature, so we’ll try to answer as many as we can here.
A-Pay FAQs
Where are A-Pay cards accepted?
We’ve worked to build a network of many different merchant categories that accept A-Pay cards. These merchant categories include:
- Groceries
- Electronics
- Subscriptions
- Food & dining
- Health & wellness
- Travel
- Automotive
- Home & garden
- Utilities
- Gas & charging
This list isn’t exhaustive—you can customize it based on your needs!
Can I use it with GPay or ApplePay?
Yes! Simply load your digital or physical card information to your digital wallet and use it just like any other card.
Are the cards secure?
Yes! We’ve integrated with Stripe to ensure that employee information is always safe and secure, no matter where or when they spend their points.
What’s the administrative burden?
Cards connect directly to employee point balances, so admins never have to worry about reloading balances or wait times. Plus, overdrafts aren’t a worry because employees can only spend points they have.
Use Case: Pairing A-Pay with Lifestyle Spending Accounts
Take advantage of two of Awardco’s features by pairing A-Pay debit cards with LSAs. For example, say that you set up LSAs for employee wellness. Each month you provide employees with 20 points to use on wellness-centric expenses, such as gym memberships, fitness app subscriptions, new shoes, etc.
Then, instead of worrying about reimbursing gym membership fees or making employees redeem rewards on the platform, give them all A-Pay cards! They can use it to sign up at their local gym, buy protein powder in the store, or purchase new exercise equipment on Amazon, and you don’t have to worry about handling any of it.
A-Pay cards and LSAs enhance your benefits and empower employee freedom, all in a budget-friendly package.
