Instant Gift Cards

I have rewards, but no gift cards

1. Step 1: Add Funding

   In order to add gift cards to your Taco Shop, you will need to pre-fund your account. Those funds will be used to purchase gift cards on your behalf and send them directly to your team members at the time of redemption.

   Here is a step-by-step guide on how to add funding. View Guide

2. Step 2: Curate your Gift Cards

   Once you have added funds to your account, head on over to the Taco Shop to curate a selection of gift cards for your team to choose from. Thanks to our awesome partner, you can select from a wide variety of brands available in 100+ countries and currencies. Browse our catalog to see what is available.

3. Step 3: HeyTaco takes it from there 😎

   Every time someone on your team redeems a gift card, it will be delivered directly to their email address associated with their HeyTaco (and Slack) account. The cost of the gift card will be deducted from your available balance.

   The only thing for you to do is add funding to your account when the available balance dips below a certain amount. You can set a threshold for your available balance notifications, and receive an email when it's time to add additional funds.

I've never used rewards before

1. No sweat, we'll help you get started in no time!

   There are three types of rewards you can launch in your Taco Shop:

   • Custom 🎨
   • Collaborative 🧑‍🤝‍🧑
   • Gift Cards 💳

   Custom and Collaborative rewards are up to you to create and manage (aka fulfill). As for Gift Cards—we've got the fulfillment covered!

   We recommend kicking off your Taco Shop with a mix of rewards from each category. Here are some ideas to get you started:

   • Custom: A half-day off, tickets to a local sporting event, or a book of their choice.
   • Collaborative: Tacos for Charity (a crowd favorite), a (virtual) Taco Party, or Tacos to make the CEO run a meeting in a taco costume. 😉
   • Gift Cards: Start small—offer just a few and see how people respond..

   Offering a mix of rewards that align with how people feel appreciated will make recognition even more fun, help your team use their tacos on things they love, and strengthen your culture of appreciation.

   So what are you waiting for? Go create some rewards! 🌮🎉

Frequently Asked Queso (just kidding—it's Questions)

What types of gift cards do you offer?

So many! You can browse the entire catalog here.

Is there a fee for using Gift Cards with HeyTaco?

When you add funds to your account, we charge a credit card processing fee (3.5% for US cards and 5% for international cards). There is no additional charge for using Gift Cards with HeyTaco. Your funding balance is available entirely for gift card purchases by your team.

What happens when I run out of funds?

Not much! Your team members won't be able to redeem gift cards, and you will never incur a negative balance.

What happens if I want to stop using gift cards but have money left in my account?

Those funds will be returned to the original payment method. All you need to do is let us know you want the funds back, and we'll take care of it.

How do you do currency conversion?

All transactions are done in USD. If you have a gift card in your Taco Shop in Euros, once redeemed, we will calculate the USD value (based on the exchange rate at the time of redemption) and deduct the USD value from your available balance.

Where are the gift cards sent?

Gift cards are sent to the email address associated with people's HeyTaco (and Slack) accounts.

What happens if I try to redeem a gift card while eating tacos?

Nothing… except you'll be living your best life. Just be careful not to get salsa on your keyboard.
