The Benefit app allows you to buy gift cards for many different retailers that you already frequent. Using these gift cards to pay businesses that you already go to (e.g. Amazon, Starbucks, Target, The Home Depot, etc.) benefits Trace PTO without costing you anything extra.
When you buy using the app, retailers contribute up to 20% of your transaction back to Trace PTO!

Add a Payment Method
