# What can employees redeem points for in Empuls?
> Empuls employees redeem recognition points for gift cards, merchandise, experiences, travel, charity donations, and more across 100+ countries.
Empuls provides a global reward marketplace with 8,000+ gift cards, 10,000+ merchandise items, 100,000+ experiences, and giving options across 100+ NGOs worldwide — all redeemable directly from points earned through recognition.
The Empuls reward marketplace gives employees a genuinely global catalog to spend their recognition points on. Whether someone earns points through a peer shoutout surfaced in Slack or a milestone award triggered through a Workday or SAP SuccessFactors integration, those points unlock a broad and diverse set of redemption options — no manual HR intervention required.
**Gift Cards and Prepaid Cards**
Empuls supports over 8,000 brand gift cards spanning 30+ categories — including electronics, fashion, travel, and groceries — available in more than 100 countries. Employees can choose from global brands as well as region-specific options that reflect local shopping preferences and currencies.
**Merchandise**
The merchandise catalog covers 10,000+ products across key markets including India, the UAE, the USA, the UK, Canada, and China. For organizations that need expanded variety, Empuls scales to 100,000+ additional items on request, making it practical to serve diverse workforces without managing separate vendor relationships.
**Experiences and Travel**
Empuls connects employees to 100,000+ experiences across 50+ countries — from culinary classes and adventure activities to spa days and cultural tours. For travel-focused redemptions, Empuls supports hotel and flight bookings globally, giving employees a straightforward way to apply points toward real trips.
**Service Awards and Company Swag**
Empuls handles personalized service awards through a centralized fulfillment facility in Bengaluru, covering anniversary and tenure recognition with physical award shipments. Company-branded swag — apparel, drinkware, and tech accessories — rounds out the catalog for organizations that want to reinforce brand identity through the rewards experience.
**Charity Donations**
Employees who prefer purpose-driven redemptions can direct their points toward any of 10,000+ NGOs worldwide. This option matters most to organizations with active CSR commitments, giving employees a direct way to align personal values with recognition moments rather than choosing a physical product.
**Amazon Business Integration**
In the United States, Empuls integrates directly with the Amazon Business catalog, allowing employees to browse and redeem from Amazon's full product range as part of the same rewards experience — no separate login or manual voucher steps involved.
**How It Comes Together**
Consider an employee who receives a five-year anniversary award surfaced inside Microsoft Teams through the Empuls bot. The points appear in their Empuls wallet immediately. They open the reward marketplace, browse across categories, and complete checkout — all within a few minutes. Empuls handles fulfillment and delivery end-to-end. For organizations on platforms like Darwinbox, the same workflow applies via the native Darwinbox integration. Empuls is certified under ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type II, so every transaction and personal data exchange meets enterprise security standards throughout.
