There is a company called Greenphire that offers an online service for participant incentives.  I am not sure if they offer the specific cards you are looking for or not.

Here is the link to the company:

Hi all,

I'm wondering if you have experience with giving online gift cards to participants in a study, whereas the process is done completely online.  I'm trying to help a researcher on our campus figure out a good way to accomplish what she says below.  Any experience/thoughts in this area or recommended survey companies who administer such a process?

Here is a synopsis of what we are looking for in terms of online gift card options for participants:

Participants, who will be identified by an ID number so that we can track who has completed a survey, are being offered $25 in compensation after they complete an online survey.  Each participant will be emailed a secure link to a survey.  After they complete it, we would like to have an option where they can somehow receive a web link to redeem or pick up an online gift card.  This would streamline the process so we do not have to send a card physically through the mail after each participant completes the survey.  The following are some of the features we would like:

-We need the ability to track who has received the card and when for records.

-We also would like the ability to be invoiced for the cost of the cards rather than having to purchase them up front, which has caused some difficulty for the person having to purchase them.

-We would like to offer participants a choice of what company they could buy from (e.g., Amazon, Costco, Fred Meyer) so it is the most value to them and will help in keeping them motivated to participate in the 6 and 12 month surveys.

 

Thank you!

Olivia
