If youโre using the AllGo Mastercard Gift Card, youโre already doing something right.
Youโre rewarding employees in a tax-efficient, compliant way through the Small Benefit Scheme.
But hereโs the question:
Are you getting the full value from it?
The Missed Opportunity in the Small Benefit Scheme
The Small Benefit Scheme allows you to reward employees with up to โฌ1,500 tax-free each year.
And with AllGo, that process is already:
- Simple
- Secure
- Revenue-compliant
But in many organisations, the scheme is still:
- Used once a year
- Applied equally to everyone
- Treated as a routine expense
Which means one thing:
Low engagement for a high-value investment
What Leading Companies Are Doing Differently
Instead of a once-off reward, companies are moving to:
Ongoing, performance-based recognition
Theyโre rewarding employees for:
- Contribution
- Milestones
- Behaviours
- Results
This creates stronger engagement โ and makes the โฌ1,500 work much harder.
Where โTwo is Better Than Oneโ Comes In
This is where companies are evolving their approach.
They continue using the AllGo Mastercard Gift Card for compliant, tax-free rewardsโฆ
โฆbut they add a structured way to build those rewards throughout the year.
Thatโs where Amplify comes in.
Step 1: Build Value with Amplify
With Amplify, employees earn points continuously through:
- Service awards
- Peer recognition
- Performance incentives
- Training and development
- Day-to-day contributions
This keeps employees engaged all year โ not just at Christmas.
Step 2: Deliver Rewards with AllGo Mastercard
Those points are then converted into the AllGo Mastercard Gift Card:
- Ready to use anywhere Mastercard is accepted
- Fully aligned with Small Benefit Scheme rules
- Distributed easily at scale
Why This Approach Works
By combining both:
- You keep the simplicity and compliance of AllGo Mastercard Gift Cards
- You add continuous engagement through Amplify
- You maximise the full โฌ1,500 allowance
- You reduce admin and manual tracking
Itโs a smarter way to run a scheme youโre already using
Less Admin, More Control
As the Small Benefit Scheme grows, so does the admin.
Tracking:
- Reward frequency
- Total values
- Reporting requirements
โฆcan quickly become complex.
With a structured approach:
Reports are generated for compliance
Points are tracked automatically
Rewards are calculated in real time
Stay Compliant โ Without the Risk
Using AllGo Mastercard Gift Cards already ensures a compliant reward.
Adding a structured system ensures:
- No employee exceeds โฌ1,500
- No more than 5 rewards per year
- Full support for Enhanced Revenue Reporting
Everything stays aligned โ automatically.
Make Every Euro Count
The Small Benefit Scheme doesnโt allow unused allowance to roll over.
This approach gives you flexibility to:
- Ensure no budget is wasted
- Distribute rewards across the year
- Manage excess value effectively
