Did they say anything about the conflicting things about the monthly cap on the Boots website?

I found the answer to my own question by asking Pruhealth directly, and can confirm what some people have said elsewhere in the thread: you can gain more than 150 points per month if by using a alternating Fitbug and Gym attendance on different days.

Wow.

'Please note that you can earn a maximum of 10 Vitality points a day, up to 150 Vitality points a month for any combination of gym, Fitbug and Polar activities.' sounds pretty categorical to me.

When did they say this to you?

Hi

Please can anyone tell me if you can reach Platinum status by November as a couple if I sign up today.

I still need to do a bit of reading up, but any advice would help.

Thanks

I don't think that'd be possible. I'd say it takes around 5-6months to reach Platinum. Maybe 4 if your really committed.

I don't think so, this is the plan by Sensar, they are aiming for Dec:

Hi,
I'm just about to go into my second year - just wondering if you get to claim the points again for doing non-smokers declaration / stress tests etc?

Thanks!!

Yes you can do it once a year, and the stess tests are 5 per half year.

If you look at this table it explains how often you can do certain things

This all sounds brill.

Does anyone know

1. If you join as a family do the kids get free gym if you get to platinum as well?

2. I am assuming it is just the over 18s that gain the exercise points

3. Where is the link tojoin through boots now-I can't find it onthe new site.

Punky pickle did quidco track?

I think they have just changed this. Last month on some days I got 10 points for fitbug and 10 for the gym but it capped me at a total of 150 for both for the month. This month I noticed one day where I got 5 points for fitbug and it only gave me 5 for a gym visit
