Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Reward?
Our branded Rewards offer a personalized experience with customized Reward messaging, and are available in multiple denominations and delivery options. The Reward is redeemable for the recipient’s choice of popular shopping, dining, and entertainment gift cards, a prepaid card, or for smart home and lifestyle products. This allows your recipients the opportunity to choose an option that matters most to them.
What is the cost of a Reward?
You pay face value for your rewards. If you order a $25 Reward as a happy birthday gift for an employee, you pay $25. No portion of your recipients’ Rewards will be used up in hidden fees or shipping when they redeem.
Who can order Rewards?
Reward Builder is designed to be a self-serve ordering portal for Administrators of company reward and incentive programs. As such, our Rewards can only be ordered for use in a reward or incentive program and can only be redeemed by the Reward recipient. As part of your rewards program, you are able to add additional users to your Reward Builder account to assist you in administering your program.
How do I create an account?
To create an account, select ‘Login’ in the upper right and then click the ‘Create Account’ button. Please allow up to two business days for account approval. You will be notified by email once approval is complete. While you can start building Rewards and add them to your cart, you will not be able to complete your purchase until the approval process is complete.
Can I purchase a Reward without creating an account?
You must create an account to purchase Rewards. As a security measure, we verify to ensure each customer is a good fit for Reward Builder. Additionally, having an account gives you access to the full suite of functionalities designed to help you administer your rewards program.
What are the differences between the Reward Builder plans?
We offer three different plans to meet the needs of our customers: Reward Builder Standard provides a cost-effective way for companies of any size to create, customize, and issue Rewards to their employees and customers with the ability to add additional users and Admins to your company account. Reward Builder Plus allows you to enjoy all the Standard plan features as well as create user groups and hierarchies, manage budgets, allocate funds, send printed/mailed Rewards, and much more. Our Enterprise Plan allows large volume programs and enterprise companies with specific requirements to customize an incentive solution to fit their needs. Please contact us to discuss. Both our Reward Builder Standard and Reward Builder Plus plans require no minimum volumes or IT integration, so they are the ideal solution for your recognition and engagement program, or to complement an existing program in place.
What is the cost for each plan?
Reward Builder Standard: No cost. You only pay for the face value of the Rewards issued.
Reward Builder Plus: $49 a month plus the cost of the Reward issued when billed monthly. You may also opt for our annual billing option at $499 for a savings of $88 per year!
Enterprise: Because Enterprise customers have unique needs, the cost is determined based on specific client and program requirements.
Can I change plans?
You are welcome to change your Reward Builder Standard or Reward Builder Plus plan at any time to meet your needs. For Plus plans, cancellation will take effect at the end of your current billing cycle (month or year). Should you cancel your Plus plan, you will still have access to your Plus features through the end of the billing cycle (month or year). Your account will then revert to the Standard plan, at no cost, and you can continue to order Rewards anytime.
What if I forget my username or password?
No problem! You can visit this page to reset your password. Your username should be the email you used at the time you created your account. If you need further assistance, the Reward Builder Support Team is here to help. Send an email to rewardssupport@eeincentives.com or give us a call at 1-855-525-7665.
What happens if I don’t upload a logo to my account?
You are not required to upload a logo to your account to purchase Rewards. With each order you place you will have the option to upload a logo, but it is not a requirement. Your Rewards can be unbranded if you choose.
What if I want to use a different logo than my Account Logo?
Each time you create a Reward, you will be directed to a page that allows you to choose the logo you’d like on your Reward. On this page, you can choose your current account logo, upload a new high quality .png, .jpg, or .gif file, or opt to leave your Rewards unbranded. Please note that only one logo may be stored in your account at a time.
What size does my logo need to be?
Please ensure your logo is a high quality .png, .jpg, or .gif file that is at least 650px x 160px and 300dpi. If it is not a high quality image, there may be problems with pixilation or fuzziness on your final Rewards. Please be aware that poor quality logos often look clear on a computer monitor, but fuzzy in print, so it’s important to verify that your logo is the correct quality even if it appears clear on your screen.
What type of file does my logo need to be?
Your logo should be a high quality .png, .jpg or .gif file. Other files will not be recognized by our system.
What if I accidentally enter an invalid email address for my employee?
If a Reward bounces after you complete your order, you will be notified in your account by a banner in the upper right-hand corner of your account screen. This notification will remain there until the email addresses are updated. If the Reward does not bounce, but you need to correct or update the email associated with a Reward, please send an email to the Reward Builder Support Team at rewardssupport@eeincentives.com or call 1-855-525-7665 for assistance.
How will my Rewards be delivered?
During the ordering process, you will be given the option to choose between emailed or SMS (text) Rewards. If the Rewards are being emailed to you, they will arrive in the form of a multi-page pdf document for printing and distributing; otherwise, you may choose to have the Rewards emailed or sent via SMS (text) directly to each recipient. For Reward Builder Plus subscribers, you will have the option of having the Rewards printed and mailed directly to each recipient or to you for distribution. Printed Rewards will be delivered within 10-14 business days of payment.
What if I want to order my Rewards ahead of time and have them delivered at a custom date?
During the ordering process, at the delivery option step, you can select a custom day for your Reward order to be delivered. If no specific date is selected, Rewards will be delivered ASAP (As Soon As Processed). For Reward Builder Plus subscribers, you have the option to select a delivery date for the entire order or by recipient. Note: If your Rewards are going to be printed and mailed by us, they will be printed and shipped on the day you have selected. This will affect the actual delivery date of your Rewards and they will arrive 10-14 business days after the custom date selected.
Is there a limit to the Rewards I can buy at one time?
There is no limit to the number of Rewards you can purchase. You may enter each recipient’s name and email manually or upload a CSV Data File with all the pertinent information for your recipients. The Reward value may be customized for each recipient if your program includes multiple Reward values.
Do I have to enter each name in manually?
If you are ordering for multiple recipients, you can upload a CSV file with all the necessary information included for your recipients. The CSV template is available to download during the ordering process.
How do I create a CSV file?
To create a CSV file for your order, download the template that appears on the page for the delivery method you selected. This file contains all the columns and headers required. It is important that you do not edit the headers or change the order of the columns when entering your data. Do not add any additional formatting or include dollar signs in the Reward value column. Once your data has been entered, click “File” and “Save As.” Type in your desired file name and be sure to choose “CSV comma delimited” as your file type if not already selected and then click “Save.” If you have any questions, we are here to help. Give us a call at 1-855-525-7665 or send us an email to rewardssupport@eeincentives.com.
What information needs to be in my CSV upload?
The required fields in the CSV file include your Reward recipients’ first names, last names, email addresses or mailing addresses (depending on plan level and delivery type), and Reward value. Reward Builder Plus subscribers will have a delivery date field option. Once you select a delivery method for your order, you will be able to download a template that already contains all the correct columns for your data. A recipient ID number is an optional field that may be included for your reporting purposes.
Can I send a non-personalized Reward?
As you’re building your Reward, you will have the option to display the name of the person or company giving the Reward. If you wish to keep the Rewards non-personalized, simply leave this space blank.
Will all my recipients receive the same Reward theme?
While the Reward value can change from person to person, the Reward theme you choose and the message you compose will remain the same for each recipient in each batch. However, you will be given the option to create an additional batch of Rewards that may have a different theme and message before proceeding to checkout.
How many characters can I include in my message?
For emailed Rewards sent directly to the Admin and printed Rewards, your message may include up to 300 characters. For Rewards emailed or sent SMS (text) to the recipient, you have unlimited characters for your message.
Do I have to include a message?
You are not required to include a message with your Reward. Simply leave the message box blank and move forward with ordering your Rewards.
Can I delay the delivery of a Reward?
Rewards are set to process immediately. However, during the ordering process you can select a future date to send your Rewards. Please note that Rewards will not process until payment has been received.
How long does it take for my order to be delivered to me or my recipients?
Delivery is dependent on both confirmed payment and the delivery method you selected. For example, if you pay by credit card or from a prefunded account and request immediate delivery by email, your Rewards will be delivered within the hour. If you wish to pay by ACH or check, or if your order has printed Rewards, the process will take longer. Mailed Rewards arrive within 10-14 business days of confirmed payment.
Who should my recipients call with questions?
If your Reward recipients have questions about their Reward redemption options, please direct them to 1-855-510-6994 or customercare@eeincentives.com. We are available to assist Monday-Friday from 9amET to 5pmET.
What will my printed Reward look like(Plus subscribers only)?
Your printed Reward will be one full letter-sized page (8.5 x11), which includes the Reward theme, message, and recipient name along with the Reward value and description of the options for redemption. Rewards sent directly to the recipient will arrive in a plain white envelope. For bulk orders sent to the Admin, you will have the option to choose how the Rewards are packaged during the ordering process.
How do I pay for my Rewards?
We have several options available for you to pay for your Reward order: you may pay with your prefunded account; with a credit or debit card for immediate Reward processing; or you may choose to pay by ACH or check. You will make your payment selection during the checkout process. Please note that Rewards will not be processed until payment is received. Through your account dashboard, you may add, save, and edit new payment methods.
Can I pay for my Reward via ACH?
Yes! You can pay for your Rewards by ACH. You may use ACH to prefund your Reward Builder (no minimum deposit required) account and draw down as you order, or ACH can be used to pay for individual orders when placed. If you choose to pay as you go, please note that ACH can take up to 3 business days to process and Rewards will not process until funds are received.
Can I add Additional Users to my account?
Admins have the option to add additional users to their account. This allows the Admin to see all orders placed by their users.
How can I designate funds to users I have added to my Reward Builder Account?
In the Account Dashboard, Admin users are able to add funds to a prepayment account that their users can then draw from. Reward Builder Plus subscribers have the option of designating maximum spend for each individual user and/or limit them to the use of the prepayment account. If Admins do not wish to centralize payment methods, each user may independently add and utilize their own payment methods.
What if I have multiple groups of users to manage?
Reward Builder Plus allows the Admin to create multiple User Groups and place them in a hierarchical order.
What are the available reporting functions?
If you wish to keep track of the Rewards you have ordered, you may export your recipient information into a downloadable CSV file for your records. Depending on the delivery method you select, the CSV file will include First Name, Last Name, E-mail address, Mailing Address, Reward Value, and Recipient ID. The recipient ID is an optional field you may use to help you identify the recipient (like an employee number) or campaign in your reporting. Additionally, account Admins are able to pull the reporting described above for each of the users they have added to their account.
How does the Reward redemption process work for the Reward recipient?
The recipients will receive their Reward in either printed or electronic form. For printed Rewards, the recipient will visit redeemmyreward.com and enter the unique redemption code provided on the Reward. From there, the Reward recipient can redeem the face value of their Reward for popular shopping, dining, and entertainment gift cards, a prepaid card, or for smart home and lifestyle products. For emailed Rewards sent directly to the recipient, the recipient will simply click on the blue ‘Redeem Your Reward’ button to be directed to the redemption options. For SMS (text) Rewards, the recipient will simply click the link in the message to be directed to the redemption options. For both email and SMS Rewards, the unique code and Reward value will be passed through to the redemption site eliminating the need to enter in a code.
What if my product redemption selection exceeds the value of my Reward?
If the Reward recipient selects a product (merchandise) that exceeds the value of their Reward, they will have the ability to pay the difference by credit card during the checkout process.
What type of gift cards do you offer?
