Unclaimed rewards returned to you
Support | 415-386-8600
Did recipients claim their rewards? Which options did they choose? How long did it take them to respond? Which audiences engaged quickly, and where did interest drop off?
Without those answers, your incentive delivery program becomes a black box with no perspective of reward claim rates.

Sending a reward is not the same as understanding incentive performance. A campaign may look complete once incentives are delivered, but delivery is only the first step. The real insight comes from what recipients do after the reward is sent.
At a minimum, you should know:
If you do not have that visibility, you are left guessing which rewards actually resonate.

Studies confirm this in practice. Programs that offer five or more reward options and send at least three reminders see 13% greater engagement than those with fewer options and less communication. That’s a significant improvement and directly impacts reward claim rates.
Every audience, every delivery type, every budget — with full refunds on unclaimed rewards.
Recipient reward choices are more than fulfillment details. They are engagement signals.
Did recipients choose gift cards, prepaid cards, charitable donations, merchandise, or something else? Did one audience prefer flexible rewards like prepaid cards, while another responded better to a specific retailer or coffee brand? Did certain segments claim faster when given more choice?
Those patterns matter.
They can help you understand what motivates different audiences and improve the way you design future campaigns.
When incentive delivery is treated like a black box, teams often repeat the same campaigns without knowing what worked.
They may keep offering rewards that underperform. They may send too many reminders, or not enough. They may use the same incentive across every audience, even when different groups respond to different options.
That leads to wasted budget, weaker engagement, and missed opportunities to improve.
Incentive campaigns should not just distribute value. They should create data your team can use.
The right incentive delivery platform does more than send rewards. It helps you see what is happening after delivery. It shows you which rewards recipients choose, how quickly they engage, and where campaigns lose momentum.
That visibility gives marketing, sales, customer success, and demand generation teams the insight they need to keep improving.
Because when you understand what motivates your audience, every campaign gets sharper than the last.
When you understand claim rates and recipient reward behavior, every campaign becomes a learning opportunity.
You can use that data to:
Instead of asking, “Did we send the reward?” your team can ask, “What did this campaign teach us?” That is where incentive delivery becomes more strategic.
Incentive delivery should not be a black box. If your platform stops at “sent,” it is only telling you part of the story. Reward claim rates, reward choices, timing, reminders, and audience behavior all help reveal what is actually working.
And once you can see what is working, you can build smarter campaigns with less guesswork and better results.
That is what TruCentive is built for.
