Thoughts on Bounts (Get paid for walking)

I think you have to be within a certain distance for 30 minutes - at least for GPS tracking. It might be different if they have a beacon though.

Well, the 60 points from my Health app have gone on, so I'm only just under 200 points now until I get to my £10 voucher!

The reward wheel is getting very stingy lately though I think. Yesterday I won 10 points out of 6 spins (1 win) and today I had 2 wins of 5 points each and that was with 12 spins.

Its always been like that. According to the wheel you should win on average 1 in 3 spins. But its more like 1 in 6 at best. They should remove one of the reward segments so at least its not misleading.

Is anyone else having problems with bounts today? I've done 3 activities and it hasn't synced any of them. All it's done is deducted the 5 points for the challenge.

I keep getting server time out errors on the app and the website appears to be down. Looks like they can't handle the traffic from today's promotion.

Today seems to be a good Bounts day...

• 5 x points on your first qualifying activity today
• Take part in the Famous 5 Challenge for a chance to win 50000 Bounts points
• Win big bucks on the Reward Wheel

And for those who haven't yet upgraded, there's 50% off the upgrade premium when using the code BBBB50 (not a referral code)

It seems to be a one day only birthday bonanza so I'm off to find out more about the Famous 5 Challenge, and walk 7000 steps :rotfl:

Get walking people, and have a nice day

Haven't done any activities yet so don't know if it's syncing ok or not, but the website is very slow and won't open pages. The app appears to be working ok for me.

5 x points on your first qualifying activity? I must have missed that....I'm off for a walk around the block I think! :rotfl:

It's being a complete nightmare today! I won a reward on the spin wheel but because it timed out it couldn't give me the points so I have no idea how many I should have won or whether I'll ever receive them :mad:

My moves app data has gone on now + 100 points for first qualifying activity, which is good, but the MMF ones haven't and today's points aren't showing in the app yet. Think everything is just taking ages to go on.

But yeah, everyone who hasn't done so already, get activitying. Loads of points to be had today.

Well that was an easy 120 points! Shame it's only on the first activity!

Eta: 130 actually because I won 10 on the wheel.

Ha ha nil points for following my own device. Had a shower, walked around 5000 steps in the beautiful afternoon sun then realised my Fitbit is still on my bathroom shelf :eek:

Currently sitting having a pedicure so it may be an interesting evening in my flip flops later :rotfl:
