GiveCards are more flexible and configurable than gift cards or rewards platforms. GiveCards are VISA cards that work anywhere, and can be reloaded remotely on-demand.

This allows rewards programs to create more flexible rewards categories, for example a “grocery gift card” that encompasses all grocery and food stores, as opposed to a Kroger gift card.
