Må alle ansatte få det samme?

For the gift to be tax-exempt, it must be given as part of a general scheme for employees — meaning everyone or a large, natural group (e.g. everyone in a department) receives the same offer. The amount can vary somewhat, but the gift cannot only go to selected people.

Er Glede bedre enn et fysisk gavekort eller en gavebok?

Physical gift cards and gift books tie the recipient to specific chains. Glede is a Mastercard — it is used at all stores, restaurants and online stores that accept cards. The recipient chooses for themselves, which provides significantly higher perceived value than a limited selection.

Hvor lang tid tar det å sende til 300 ansatte?

Less than 10 minutes from the recipient list is ready. You upload a CSV (or retrieve the list from the HR system), set the amount and greeting, and press send. All 300 people receive the gift card via SMS or email within a few minutes.

Hva skjer hvis en ansatt ikke aktiverer gavekortet?

The gift link is valid for 4 months from the date of sending. Glede sends an automatic reminder to recipients who have not activated their card after 30 days. You can see the activation status in the dashboard and can send a manual reminder.

Hvor mye koster Glede?

3% service fee per sent gift card, minimum 25 NOK. No start-up fee, no monthly fee, no commitment period. You only pay for what you actually send.

Kan ansatte bruke gavekortet på Vinmonopolet?

Yes. Since Glede is a Mastercard gift card, it is accepted everywhere Mastercard is accepted — including Vinmonopolet. This also applies to pharmacies, restaurants, cinemas and online shopping.
