Bulk digital gift cards are finally being recognized for what they are – the heroes of the gifting world. They’re fast, flexible and (crucially) they don’t require you to become a part-time logistics coordinator. Instead of pondering postage, paper and personal taste, you can send something people actually want – instantly.
Bulk eGift Cards are popular with People & Culture teams, HR, sales, team leaders and customer success – basically anyone who needs to reward or thank 10, 100 or 1000 people without a month-long admin saga. Companies often buy bulk digital gift cards for employees, clients and customers to handle everything from end-of-year gifting and milestone rewards to customer apologies and sales incentives.
When you’re comparing platforms, your best bet comes down to a few practical categories:
Below are five of your best alternative options to send bulk eGift Cards – let’s take a look under the microscope.
If your goal is to send bulk digital gift cards to a team – and have the experience feel thoughtful rather than transactional – GroupTogether is purpose-built for exactly that. It sits at the intersection of scalability and sentiment, which is where most team gifting lives.

Pricing: GroupTogether’s pricing model is refreshingly straightforward. There are no platform or subscription fees to send bulk eGift Cards – you pay the face value of the eGift Card. If you’re paying by credit card, a standard payment processing fee applies of 1.15%. If you pay by invoice, you avoid card processing fees altogether.
In other words: you’re not penalized for scale. Whether you’re sending to 1 person or 1000, you’re not suddenly pushed into a higher subscription tier.
GroupTogether is particularly strong for teams who want to send bulk digital gift cards without losing that special moment that makes a gift, well…a gift. Every recipient still receives a beautiful unwrapping experience – because, contrary to popular opinion, bulk does not have to mean a quality downgrade. Each recipient’s name is embossed on a digital envelope that opens to reveal the gift. It’s seriously delightful.
You can upload recipient lists, schedule delivery and track who has received and opened their gift. Operationally, yes, it ticks all the boxes.
But where it really stands out is in the recipient experience. Instead of locking people into a single retailer, the AnyCard allows recipients to mix and match with brands of their choice from a wide catalogue – we’re talking 100+ brands and counting. That eliminates the awkward “we hope you like this store” gamble. (Spoiler alert: the book enthusiast ends up less than thrilled with their adrenaline-fuelled supercar experience!)
On top of that, you can add branding, a personalized message and – crucially – pair the gift with a gorgeous digital card. That animated, envelope-style reveal turns a simple reward into something that feels intentional rather than a phone-in (even if that’s what it was – with GroupTogether, no one has to know!).
The rundown: Prezzee is strong for bulk distribution. GroupTogether leans harder into emotional impact.
If the choice is between “send a gift link” and “create a moment,” GroupTogether deliberately optimizes for the latter. The AnyCard combined with a personalized card and beautiful unwrapping experience, it feels less like a corporate “to do” and more like real appreciation.
While Prezzee offers a bulk eGift Card flow, making it a capable option for fast, high-volume corporate rewards, there are a number of other major features you could be missing out on. If your priority is purely transactional – upload a spreadsheet, send a gift, move on – it does that efficiently. But where GroupTogether stands out from the crowd is in transforming that transaction into an experience. By integrating a beautifully-designed digital card and making it simple to collect contributions when organizing group gifts, GroupTogether adds emotional weight to the gesture. It’s not just “here’s some money” – it’s “this is from the team.” Add to that transparent fee structures, the ability to run gift collections that make the card free and a live support, and the experience becomes people-first. If you need speed and scale, Prezzee works. If you want scale plus meaning, GroupTogether is built for that.
Here’s the 411 on GroupTogether’s standout features:
Integrated Digital Group Card Experience: Turn a simple gift into a shared experience with animated digital cards, personalized messages, photos and team signatures.
Built for Team Gifting: Designed specifically for farewells, birthdays, milestones and team celebrations – not just soulless corporate reward distribution (ew, David!).
Gift Collections Made Simple: Easily collect contributions from multiple people without chasing payments or tracking who owes what.
AnyCard Flexibility: Give recipients the freedom to swap and choose from a wide range of retailers with the ultimate gift card: the AnyCard.
Bulk Sending at Scale: Upload a spreadsheet, personalize messages, schedule delivery and track status – whether you're sending to 10 or 1000 recipients.
Personalized Messages Included: Add individual messages to each eGift Card so your rewards don’t feel generic or automated.
Transparent Pricing: Clear processing fees and the ability to make your group card free with a minimum $20 eGift Card.
Live Chat: GroupTogether offers a live chat with real, local support teams (actual humans, not ticket queues and bots), ready to help when you need them. Never again will you wait on the phone for hours just to be hung up on! We’re right here, right now.
If you want bulk gifting without losing humanity, GroupTogether is the most balanced option.
Blackhawk Network operates in a different league – it’s built for enterprise-level incentives and rewards programs, often across regions and currencies.

Pricing: Blackhawk skips simple per-card pricing, opting for quote-based pricing instead. That means costs will be tailored to order volume, eGift Card brands and location. Sure, this makes sense at scale, but can introduce complexity for smaller teams.
The rundown: It’s a sales-led model rather than a lightweight self-serve one.
Blackhawk shines in serious, large-scale reward programs. If you’re running a multinational incentive campaign, managing reseller rewards or operating high-volume enterprise rewards, its infrastructure is built for that.
It also offers multi-brand options, which are ideal when you don’t know what everyone likes – and if you’re gifting 500+ people, you’d have to have dolphin-tier memory skills to know everyone’s passion.
Here’s the catch: Blackhawk can feel enterprise-first – meaning it often leaves the little guys behind. If you’re a mid-sized business looking to quickly send 150 digital rewards after a quarterly win, you may find the process heavier than necessary.
Here’s why that matters.
This model can introduce longer lead times, more stakeholder involvement and less agility. What does that mean for you and your mid-sized team? Say you want to send a reward this afternoon to 120 employees for closing a quarter strong – you’ll find yourself waiting around for approval and miss the cutoff. Not so ideal for those last-minute gifting times!
There’s also the experience layer to consider. While Blackhawk provides extensive catalogue access and multi-brand capabilities, the recipient experience is typically functional rather than emotionally driven. It’s built for scale and compliance, not necessarily for creating a branded, animated moment.
If you need industrial-scale reward infrastructure, Blackhawk makes sense. If you just want to celebrate your team quickly and thoughtfully, it may be more than you need.
GiftPay is a practical, admin-friendly bulk gifting platform focused heavily on distribution controls and reporting.

Pricing: GiftPay positions itself clearly – no admin fees and no delivery fees. You pay the face value of the gift cards and if paying by credit card, a surcharge applies. Pricing is straightforward but more utilitarian.
GiftPay is strong operationally, allowing you to upload Excel files, send via email or text and schedule deliveries. It also advertizes coverage across 100+ brands. So, if your priority is clean distribution and tracking, GiftPay will do the trick.
As we mentioned, GiftPay is focused on distribution mechanics, which is both a blessing and a curse. Why? The recipient experience is functional rather than celebratory. If you’re looking to create a memorable moment – something that feels animated or emotionally engaging – GiftPay is more transactional by design.
It’s efficient. It’s not theatrical.
If you want the most balanced option for bulk digital gift cards for teams – with strong bulk sending, delivery tracking, branding and a recipient-first experience – GroupTogether is the best all-rounder.
Because at the end of the day, bulk gifting isn’t just about distribution – it’s about impact.
GroupTogether blends operational simplicity – we’re talking easy uploads, personalization and tracking – with emotional intelligence:
Best of all? The pricing doesn’t punish you for scaling recognition across your team. No expensive plans. No minimum spend.. Just easy, practical and thoughtful gifting.
It’s built for the real world of modern teams: distributed, busy and allergic to unnecessary admin.
When gifting is this easy – and this human – it stops being a task on the to-do list and starts being part of your culture.
And that’s the difference.
A: Buying gift cards in bulk saves significant time and administrative cost – instead of manually purchasing and sending individual cards, bulk platforms allow you to upload a spreadsheet, personalize messages and distribute everything at once. With GroupTogether, there’s no subscription required – you simply pay the gift value and applicable processing fees, making it cost-efficient for teams of any size.
A: The easiest way to send bulk gift cards is through a platform designed for bulk distribution. With GroupTogether, you can:
This removes the need to purchase and send gift cards one by one.
A: Yes. You can send $10 eGift Cards in bulk through GroupTogether. Small-value digital gift cards are commonly used for webinar incentives, survey participation, employee recognition and customer appreciation.
A: Yes. $5 eGift Cards can be sent in bulk and they’re especially popular for large-scale campaigns. When paired with a personalized message, even a $5 gift card feels intentional rather than transactional.
A: Yes. You can send different gift amounts within the same bulk campaign. This is helpful if you’re rewarding participants at different tiers (for example, $5 for survey completion and $20 for extended participation) or recognizing different levels of contribution.
Q: If a recipient doesn’t receive their eGift Card, delivery status can be tracked within the platform. Often the issue is a typo in the email address or the message landing in a spam folder. With GroupTogether, live chat support with real people is available to help quickly resolve delivery issues – so you’re not left troubleshooting alone.
A: Yes, that’s the fun part! You can add individual messages to each recipient so the gift doesn’t feel generic. This is especially important for employee recognition or customer appreciation campaigns.
A: You can choose to send bulk eGift Cards immediately or schedule them for a future date. Delivery is typically fast and recipients receive their digital gift directly via email.
A: No. You can send bulk eGift Cards whether you’re rewarding 5 people or 5,000. The same streamlined workflow applies regardless of scale.
A: Bulk gift cards are typically funded by one organizer and distributed to multiple recipients at once. A group gift collection allows multiple contributors to chip in toward a single recipient’s gift – and when $20 or more is collected toward the gift, the group card itself is free.
