Tremendous is a new gift card option for Research Payment Disbursement Requests that offers a wide variety electronic gift cards (e-codes). Participants may select their preferred vendor and receive the e-code directly. Please review the Tremendous Gift Card Department Manual and Demo Link for detailed information, recipient instructions, and FAQs. The Tremendous Gift Card Recipient Manual may also be shared with the participant for quick redemption instructions.

Along with your disbursement request form, you may be required to submit the Tremendous Text Message Excel Template or the Tremendous Email Excel Template if the e-code redemption links will be delivered through Text message or Email directly to the recipient. You will be required to provide the recipients' names and phone numbers or email addresses on the template. The file must also be saved in CSV format. If the e-codes will be delivered through Links (a CSV file containing hyperlinks sent to the department) a template is not required.

Departments may also use Tremendous to deliver physical gift cards (VISA only). 

Please ensure the recipient information is correct; the department will responsible for replacing e-codes sent to incorrect addresses.
