That equates to $1.

At the end of the year, though, that made you $365. That's nothing to sneeze at. You could then cash it in for gift cards or use it on anything on Amazon.

There were additional items that you could do to get more points as well. I think an annual physical was $10. If you could prove you ran a 5K, that was $10, so on and so forth.

It was a pretty good program. I ended up getting an iPad Mini 2 and a set of Bose noise cancelling headphones out of the program over 2 years. I felt it was worth it.
Thank you for your reply. That's pretty awesome! Fitbits are currently covered under our reimbursement of up to $200 annually, so we have a bunch of employees who have snagged those. I'll check to see if they would be willing to do something along the lines of doing a pay per step type program. Thank you!
