New partnership listing with AWS Marketplace streamlines procurement and enables HR teams to unlock recognition using committed AWS budgets
Bucketlist Rewards, the recognition platform helping organizations build culture through scalable, meaningful appreciation, is now officially available on the AWS Marketplace. The listing allows organizations to purchase Bucketlist through their existing AWS agreements, simplifying procurement and enabling many teams to implement recognition without needing additional budget approvals.
A Faster Path to Culture-Building
For enterprise HR and IT leaders, the ability to access Bucketlist through AWS Marketplace eliminates common purchasing roadblocks. Procurement teams can now route Bucketlist purchases through AWS—meaning:
- No new vendor onboarding or separate contracts
- Streamlined legal and security reviews
- Consolidated billing and faster approvals
Most notably, teams can now use their committed AWS cloud spend—also known as Enterprise Discount Program (EDP) credits—to fund the purchase. In many cases, this means they can access Bucketlist without needing to request new budget.
“This isn’t new money,” explained Patricio Vascones, Head of Partnerships. “It’s budget that’s already been allocated and pre-approved by finance or procurement. What we’re doing is giving HR leaders a smarter way to use it— by putting it toward a recognition program that supports engagement, retention, and performance, and that’s the key. This isn’t new budget they have to go out and ask for. It’s already committed and sitting there. They’re just reallocating it to something meaningful before it expires.”
When companies sign multi-year agreements with AWS, they typically commit to spending a specific amount annually in exchange for discounted pricing. If that committed budget isn’t used by year-end, it expires. By purchasing Bucketlist through AWS Marketplace, customers can reallocate unused cloud spend to fuel employee engagement and retention programs—before that budget disappears.
This model not only helps HR teams avoid delays tied to new budget requests, but also enables IT and finance to fulfill their cloud commitment while supporting employee experience initiatives.

- Launch peer-to-peer and manager-led recognition programs in days
