How we’re testing user engagement through travel rewards

Hi PH Community,

We’ve been experimenting with new ways to make user testing more fun and rewarding, and I’d love to get your thoughts.

At GemsAround, we’re building a platform that helps travelers discover and share authentic travel spots through short, user-generated videos. Recently, we rolled out several updates to improve the travel planning experience — and we’re testing how travel incentives like WizzAir vouchers can encourage meaningful feedback from our early users.

Users can now test both the web version and a mobile app (available on iOS via TestFlight), explore destinations in 20+ countries, and share their insights while earning rewards.

I’m really curious to hear from other founders and builders here:

Have you ever tried rewarding early testers?

What strategies worked best for you when encouraging users to give quality feedback?

Happy to share what’s working for us so far and learn from your experiences too.
