What do you like best about Fringe?

Fringe offers access to a wide variety of vendors–whether you're interested in redeeming points for health and wellness, childcare or pets, or ride-sharing/food-delivery services, there are options for all (it's honestly tough to chose!). Fringe is easy to browse and fast to redeem, with users receiving access codes immediately after purchase. It's a great platform that absolutely offers takes the edge off of an expense or two. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Fringe?

While minor (and certainly not impactful enough to classify as a dislike), the user must add multiple packages to the cart for the same vendor if opting to use a large (200+) point balance. A solution could be offering an option that captures more points, but it's not necessary. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Fringe solving and how is that benefiting you?

Fringe is offering a solution to balancing the cost of services that full-time employees are often confronted with due to their schedules. By having accessing to points/redemption codes for services, it helps offset the cost of necessary services (i.e., dog walking during the workday for an in-office employee, childcare services for the remote or in-office employee, etc.).

What do you like best about Fringe?

I think the best part of Fringe is how easy it is for me a as leader to reward my team with meaningful motivation. They can apply their points towards whatever they would like. For me as an employee, it has given me multiple times where I have been able to use my points for mulitple giftcards. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Fringe?

The one thing I dislike is the brand selection. While it has improved over the time I have been using Fringe, I do feel there is room for improvement with bringing in more brands to the marketplace. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Fringe solving and how is that benefiting you?

Fringe allows me a way to motivate and reward my team while giving them access to whatever they would like. It is nice for the team to have options for a reward! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Fringe?

Fringe is an incredible perk that makes life so much easier, especially when it comes to food delivery. The platform is extremely user-friendly, offering a wide range of options that are perfect for any situation. I've personally used Fringe several times when I was sick, and it saved me from the hassle of cooking. It was also a lifesaver when my parents were unwell and I was traveling for work—I could easily send them meals with just a few clicks.

The ease of use is what truly stands out. Whether I'm ordering food, choosing a meal kit, or even treating myself to a spa day with a gift card, Fringe makes the entire process seamless. I’ve even booked hotels through the platform! The variety of services available is fantastic, and it’s all laid out in such an intuitive way. I can't imagine not having this as part of my benefits package—it’s been a real game changer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Fringe?

I really can't think of anything, its such a nice perk. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Fringe solving and how is that benefiting you?

Time, convenience, money savings. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Fringe?

I really like the ability to save up the points and then using it for a bigger thing. So far that's what I have been using it for, it really helps with travel plans. But I also like that there's flexibility in terms of what I can use it for because sometimes if I don't need it for travel I can just use it for spas, or even clothing which is really nice. Plus, when I redeem the points I get an instant confirmation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Fringe?

There's really nothing bad about Fringe. Maybe having a mobile app would be nice and eaasier to browse through the offerings but I can do it on my phone. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Fringe solving and how is that benefiting you?

Fringe is encouraging me to take smaller trips to reset and have some time off. I use to like saving time off for bigger trips but I think with the help of Fringe I'm able to explore even close by locations. It has also encoraged me to invest in fitness equipement which I think somethimes is the biggest obstacle in working out for me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Fringe?

My favorite part about Fringe is that I'm able to choose when and how I want to make my benefit points work for me. I frequently take advantage of the Airbnb option as well as food delivery services, which makes my life that much easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Fringe?

The interface isn't difficult to use, but it could be slightly more organized. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Fringe solving and how is that benefiting you?

My company has cycled through several different employee recognition tools, and this one is by far the best. It has the clearest layout and the most fun options to choose from. You never feel like you have to select something you don't really want and the ability to save up points means that you can actually get legit goodies. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Fringe?

What I like best about Fringe is its user-friendly platform that allows for customizable benefits tailored to individual needs. The rollover points system is also a highlight, enabling me to save for larger rewards. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Fringe?

On the downside, the communication about updates could be clearer, as important changes sometimes go unnoticed. Additionally, while the platform is mostly intuitive, navigating certain features can be a bit cumbersome for less tech-savvy users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Fringe solving and how is that benefiting you?

Fringe really nails it with customizable benefits, letting me pick perks that actually matter to me. The user-friendly platform makes managing everything super easy, and I love the rollover points system—it lets me save up for bigger rewards instead of rushing to use my points Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Fringe?

Fringe is a comprehensive and easily navigatible platform. I like that I am able to rollover points if I'd like to save up for something on a larger scale or as soon as I have points I can redeem them and instantly have my selection to use. My employer has used Fringe for two years now and it suits a wide variety of employees all while streamling the process for the city's human resources department. I've used Fringe a few times in the past two years and it's never let me down! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Fringe?

The one downside to Fringe is the point categories where you sometimes have to leave an amount of points on the table to rollover unless you are willing to use them and supplement with cash to redeem a larger value reward. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Fringe solving and how is that benefiting you?

Fringe is helping the City offer recognition and rewards to a wide variety of employees without the hassle of having to manage individual employee selections and requests. It's streamlined the process and so the benefit is to both the administrators and employees, as employees have a wide variety of options to choose from. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
