Yes they are real, it's in the low hundreds of bucks range. They must be approved by the recipients manager. Its also limited how many a employee can send (but the limit is fairly high). There is also "kudos" which comes with no money, but has no limits or approvals required. They are intended to be used for going above and beyond, not for stuff that falls within the scope of ones job. Using them as bargaining chip is explicitly against policy.
