That's what I had assumed, but I started wondering when I read your post. Had a quick google and it's a real thing!
I can't decide whether I think it's brilliant or mental http://www.fitbark.com/

Oh, it's definitely a real thing and were it not for the high price tag I'd be sorely tempted to buy one and set up a Bounts account for him too :rotfl:

Heads up for anyone converting their Bounts into Homebase vouchers... buy the National Garden Centre vouchers instead

Homebase £5 = 1389pts
NGC voucher £5 = 909pts

If anyone is thinking of signing up and wants 100 free points PM me for my referal code. (I get points too )

SG27 - post on the referrers board. It will get used on the thread there.

Seems theyre having problems with data from Garmin, a delay with step activity, & possibly GPS activities.
This has been on the site for a few days now.


So this morning, theyve emailed this;

Ready to track your first activity?
We’ll award you with 30 bonus points for tracking your first activity. Come on, get your gear ready and get moving. Steps, exercise and gym visits all count.

:wall:



Anyone any idea what happens if I connect Strava as well as Garmin for tracking runs?
Obviously don't want to try & get 2 lots of points for 1 run, but also don't want them cancelling each other out.

If I connect mapmywalk to bounts as well as having my health app, it won't affect the latter will it? I'm getting points for doing the steps through the health app but want to get points for the 20 min activities as well.

Shouldnt do Georgie......I get my steps through my fitbit but if I am walking for twenty mins or more, I activate my mmf and get the activity points as well.

Thanks KM, will give it a try! I'm missing out on points by not having another app connected as the health app doesn't appear to take into account activities too.

Just received my first NGC voucher so didnt take long.

I didn't sync my blunts to my Fitbit at all yesterday. I managed just over the 21,000 steps yet it's not showing any points when I sync'd it first thing this morning.

Will it show up later, once I have sync'd today's steps, or have I lost those points?
