Thoughts on Bounts (Get paid for walking)

I was just calculating whether it'll be worth upgrading at the end of the trial too. I easily achieve 50pts per day with my current activity (on Premium trial) purely from walking my dog twice daily. I do approx 15,000 steps so 20pts from Fitbit, plus another 20pts from MMF(dog walk) for two exercise periods then another 10pts from iPhones health monitor.

So if I register on mmf, I can get double the points?

It tracks your twenty minute activites. I use it when walking the dog.

Use it in conjunction with fitbit.

I'm considering premium plus. I could get about £50 per year in vouchers I think.

I got points for checking in a Harlequins stadium, the stoop last week. Didn't even know it had done it! I certainly didn't do any exercise there. Just drank beer and watched rugby

I upgraded my bounts during the superbowl whilst tipsy and ever since then moves won't sync to it so I'm not getting any points for walking at all getting nowhere with support (no response) or twitter (also no response).

It's been a week of trying to get hold of them. So looks like that was £15 totally down the drain.

When it failed to sync 21,000 (!) steps, I disconnected moves, deleted both apps, reinstalled bounts, reinstalled moves, then re-connected it.

After I did that I had 10,000 steps the next day which, you guessed it, didn't sync. I've tried manually syncing on the app and on the web and no dice.

Not even any acknowledgement of my attempting to talk to them about this issue (tried on facebook today as well)

You chaps are going much to fast for an old'un. The bounts team's lights are on but no one's in!
I just walk my dog - should achieve 6-7k steps per day. Firstly,I assume that I don't need a gps step counter. Can I transfer my steps by synching to my IPad Air by Bluetooth thence by one of the freebie apps to Bounts.it?
I've asked bounts several times but 'no answer' comes their stern reply.
Suggestions re a counter and app would be most welcome.
Thank you.

I don't know about step counter apps, but as long as the app you choose is one they support you should be fine.
The lifestyle trackers they support are:

• Fitbit
• Garmin
• Google Fit
• Health app
• Jawbone
• Misfit
• Moves app
• MYZONE
• mywellness

They also support exercise tracking apps like strava and mapmyfitness, but that doesn't sound like what you are looking for. Something like the Moves app or Health app is probably what you're looking for.

Is anyone else getting sick of the rewards wheel? Even if you ignore free spins you should win 1 in 3 times. I get more like 1 in 6 if that. Just had 12 spins + 3 free spins and no wins.

I dont seem to do too bad on the wheel.

Only do them every couple of days and I seem to get one or two wins out of 12 spins. I just see it as a bit of a bonus.

Yes is it a bit of a bonus. I also get 1 or 2 from 12 spins but it should be 3+ I'd rather there was odds weren't rigged though.

I find the reward wheel to be a complete waste of time. I've just run through 24 credits and earned 15 fitbits. I won't be using it again. If they're going to limit rewards then at least make them worthwhile, like £1 voucher.
