What do you like best about PerkUp?

The card is easy to load up. Also easy to explore among places which we can spend the funds. It seems to have a strong CX and support, although I haven't used it before. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PerkUp?

There is confusion about the currency as I initially thought I had CA$25, but later I noticed it was US$. I figured it out when I wanted to load up my account. Also, I think they need to extend the places we can shop using their card. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It definitely can be a reasonable solution for sending someone a gift as it gives them so many options to spend the fund. It's very nice that it works like a credit card. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about PerkUp?

PerkUp is a great benefit for employees. It's simple to use anywhere Visa is accepted and allows people to get a little something extra. At our company, we use it as a means to provide self-care funds to our team so they stay engaged, rested, and taken care of. You can add the card to Apple Pay or as a virtual card for online use, or get a physical debit card. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PerkUp?

Currently, the interface on a mobile device is not built out, so the website is not really functional unless you access it from a larger screen like a tablet or computer. I don't know if they are working on a mobile app, but that would make the experience much easier. I also had some ongoing issues with getting a replacement card activated, but Thomas was super helpful and worked hard to get it resolved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering PerkUp:

None! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

As mentioned, we use PerkUp as a means to benefit employees and allow them to spend to take care of themselves, whether that's getting a coffee, a massage, or a meal with friends. The goal is that they are rested to be able to work better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about PerkUp?

My favorite part of the PerkUp platform has my own virtual card, which I can use at benefits that my company has selected. The process of using these benefits is much easier than the alternative of managing and logging receipts with my company's expense department. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PerkUp?

There's not much to dislike about PerkUp. While the company is still small, they are constantly adding new features and support for additional benefits. I like to stay up-to-date with the latest perks offered on the platform, as they may be relevant to my preferences. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering PerkUp:

When using PerkUp, be sure to explore the different areas of perks available. For example, for now, our company only uses food-related perks. We're currently exploring adding more perks via the platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Before using PerkUp, we had very low utilization of our benefits by our employees. The process to expense a benefit, such as a company lunch, was cumbersome as it involves manually uploading receipts to a company Google drive. With PerkUp, more of our employees are using our parks and we've gotten positive feedback regarding how simple the system is given the remote nature of our team.

What do you like best about PerkUp?

Love the variety offered to employees so they can pick something that matches their interests. Prior to this, we were sending amazon gift cards only to employees and now they get to pick whatever they want! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PerkUp?

Not a huge fan of the fact that it's run by Stripe only because it's in USD and our employees have run into a few issues with some vendors where they won't let you use the card because it's catching the conflict that we are in Canada - we get this error message with some of the most popular options - "The credit card you entered is not valid in Canada. Please provide a valid credit card for Canada." Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Takes all the guesswork out of providing our employees with a thank you and wondering if what you pick for them is something that they actually want. It gives them all the choice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about PerkUp?

This is a really fun idea to help distribute perks to employees. The virtual card works in a lot of situations and they show you which websites they have cleared your card for use on. Saves a lot of time from having to use a corporate card or request expense reimbursement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PerkUp?

There are still a few bugs in the system when it comes to transactions. They are usually easy to fix but can be frustrating at the moment. If there was one thing I would improve it would be to roll over unused expenses each month. The new feature allowing you to add personal funds to better take advantage of every penny has been quite useful. I'm excited to see what features are on the horizon! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering PerkUp:

A good choice for employee spending. Just be prepared to get some questions as they continue to build out the product and tend to bugs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

PerkUp has really helped me understand what my expense allocations are and use them for what their intended use was meant to be. It's helpful to dedicate shopping for office expenditures that don't mix with other shopping to keep me focused. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about PerkUp?

I love that I can use the card to seamlessly cover my cell phone bill as well as other perks related to wellbeing. The site is easy to use and very clear how much money you have to spend and categories it can be spent in. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PerkUp?

Nothing to comment on at this point! Historically had issues with using this for professional credentialing but it appears the MCC/MIDs have recently been opened. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Only problems are related to my dislikes, unable to use to cover professional expenses, i.e. licensure, credentialling, and professional membership dues. This was something my employer stated I could cover upon joining the org but I don't think they were aware of the MID/MCC restrictions. I have realized though that in replacement of those dues, I can allocate that to other expenses I have such as the internet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about PerkUp?

The platform has one screen after you create an account, making it easy to see the status of all your perks. The customer service is also very responsive and helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PerkUp?

Many sites do not make it easy to combine multiple payments. Perkup helped by adding the ability to add personal funds, but it's still inconvenient when you're doing things like recurring payments like subscriptions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

How much I missed what an office setting provided and how difficult it is to recreate that inside your own home. It is nice to treat myself to the perks, especially toward the end of the month. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about PerkUp?

The fact that you can use the Visa card pretty much anywhere you could use one, lots of freedom there. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PerkUp?

Sometimes the border charges get rejected, which can be not very pleasant cause it's not apparent why. It would also be nice to be able to save up for the next month! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

For me, being in Venezuela solves the issue of spending money online due to country limitations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
