Incentive America, Inc. Today Announces the Launch of Its Point-Based MyAwardCard® Employee Recognition Program

Gaithersburg, MD, September 30, 2010 --(PR.com)-- The point-based MyAwardCard program from Incentive America is a gift card sized award that can be used to select over 1,000 name brand gifts from our online catalog. The award denominations start at 5000 points ($25) and can be distributed monthly, quarterly or whenever it is deemed necessary. As recipients accumulate points, they simply go online and log-on using their unique award card code on the back of their card to view and select a reward merchandise of their choice from our gift merchandise catalog with awards ranging from 5,000 points ($25) to 800,000 points ($4,000). The gift recipients see the point value but never the prices. The MyAwardCard program is a great option for companies that are looking for the reinforcement of a tangible reward that can be accumulated and awarded over a period of time to participants who achieve program goals.

The MyAwardCard® is presented in a note card in an inviting cream envelope, with a gold seal. Managers may pre-order the MyAwardCard in bulk for on-the-spot awards or they may order them as needed. The award card can also be distributed as an instant e-card. For larger programs, customized cards and a customized website are available. Their account executives will work with you to design a customized program and other communications materials to support your recognition program.

The Award Card is an attractive alternative to traditional cash awards. In industry surveys, traditional cash incentives are preferred by employees; however, they are mostly used to pay bills, have no trophy value and the gift occasion is soon forgotten. The MyAwardCard allows recipients “bragging rights” and the permission to splurge when they redeem a lasting value reward merchandise.

The Incentive America MyAwardCard targets corporations who want to give a quick and effective gift of choice to their employees as part of an on-going recognition and incentive program. It is ideal for spot awards, wellness awards, sales incentives, peer-to-peer recognition, safety awards, employee of the month, training program step completion, certification completion, HR referrals, and any other incentive award occasion where repeat behavior is desired and successive goals are met. A comprehensive report of card redemption is always available on-demand.

Incentive America, Inc., based in Gaithersburg, MD, is a provider of recognition and incentive programs and promotional programs. Incentive America brings leading marketing program experience, comprehensive recognition and incentive products expertise, and program development and design services.
