Fit For Bucks - Walk & Earn Ratings and Reviews

Amazing rewards but limited locations

I love how you can literally get free meals for something you can probably walk in 3 days, but the rewards are limited in location. The rewards are mostly located in Santa Monica, CA and downtown LA.

The steps are easily verified so you dont have to keep the app open. It logs automatically. You can acquire like 40k steps in like a week if youre pretty active which equates to some pretty awesome rewards. BUT! Again the best rewards can only be redeemed at a store that is located in certain hotspot areas such as Santa Monica.

If you live near those areas, you should definitely download this app. If not, you probably won’t get any rewards anytime soon.

Hi, Le_Arbiter, thank you for kind words about our program . FFB app currently includes combination local and online rewards. Rewards from online partners can be shipped across the nation. They’re listed on the top of 2nd page (or via filter). We’re currently expanding local rewards to other cities and states. Please feel free to contact us anytime through in-app support or at support@fitforbucks.com. We’d love to hear from you.

Improved motivation from the 1st day

I installed FitForBucks app few months ago and results have been exceptional. This app motivated me to walk more from the moment I downloaded it. I check my steps several times a day. It was so interesting to learn how many steps it takes to walk from my bed to the kitchen, to garage and around the house. I never thought about this before. Also, it was very easy to connect my HealthKit to FitForBucks, just by pushing one button. Yesterday I decided to purchase Fitbit to register more steps and to get even more rewards. Again I was able to connect Fitbit to this app in just few seconds. I think FitForBucks did an amazing job designing the app. I am finding new places in our city by browsing the reward images and reading information about the merchants. I wish they had even more options in our community. I invited many of my friends to FFB and now we’re competing with each other. It’s like a new fun game, but at the same time it’s very important to our HEALTH. Thank you, guys. Great job on this app!

Thank you very much for your review. We’re so happy our app motivates you and your friends to stay more active. Keep stepping and enjoy the rewards.

Evaporating & Inconsistent Offers

This app has very inconsistent rewards, and it’s next to impossible to know the rules, which seemingly can change in a matter of days. For example, Backyard Bowls in Santa Monica used to offer a free smoothie to reward steps, which was discontinued and a 20% off coupon was added. This app got me in the door to try the shop out, and after using this app for 20% off a smoothie once, I tried again some days later. The first redemption worked fine, but the second time, I got an error message along the lines of ‘patience my friend, you can only redeem once every 7 days’. This is a real shame, as I wasn’t expecting this, nor were the shop attendants, so I left empty handed as I didn’t have the additional change required for the smoothie. It was particularly unfortunate as I preordered it, so I hope that someone else was able to enjoy.

Hello, WillinLA2018, thank you for taking the time to write us feedback. We are sorry for your inconvenience. Per our program’ rules, participating merchants decide on their special rewards for users’ physical activity. Sometimes merchants may decide to change these rewards. The conditions are listed on bottom of the reward page. Once the prize is claimed to the wallet, the conditions are fixed. Thus, we recommended to claim the reward prior to visiting the local merchant. Hope this helps. Please contact us anytime at support@fitforbucks.com with your comments or suggestions. We’d love to hear from you.

Love the app but have one issue.

I have enjoyed the app while the several months I have had it. It helps keep me motivated to get my steps in and is an easy interface. I only have one issue and that is the rewards. For starters none of them are near me for well over 1,000 miles some places reaching almost 4,000 miles away. The online store rewards are so little that it doesn’t even cover shipping. The best one I’ve came across only took off $20 for an item that was almost $100. That’s not much of a reward. I suggest letting our rewards accumulate to go towards trading in for items. Other than that I’ve enjoyed the app.

Hello! Thank you very much for kind words about our app. Your feedback is greatly appreciated. We’re planning to expand and improve the rewards in the upcoming year. Wishing you all the best in this holiday season.

The best app!

This is just the best app! It actually doesn’t cheat like other apps because it connects to your watch or phone which really seems legit. Just say wow.... I prefer this app. Really loved it and there is NO problems I’ve found in this app!!!!!! There are no problems with rewards... I think some people lie so they can get free steps but this app deserves wayyyyy more... this app deserves 5.0 stars no joke... I’ve looked at some BAD reviews and I think they are lying...There is No problems with this app... No.1 app for me!!!!!!

The best part is that they reply under 12 hours.....

Great App!!!

My friend mentioned this application to me since she was to excited about it.
You could exchange your steps for free stuff! Amazing!!!
I was able to redeem my steps for free chicken kebab at Panini Cafe in Santa Monica ( it was so tasty), as well as free frozen yoghurt at The Yogurt Shoppe in Pacific Palisades! There are other rewards that I am interested in and will definitely will try out.
This app helped me to be more aware of my everyday steps and also gave me a chance to learn about and check out new stores, restaurant and activities in LA.
Thanks FitForBucks! Keep adding new rewards!

Loving my discounts!!

We all walk, so the fact that businesses will reward us is mind blowing! Granted, I’m a very active person and my goal is always a minimum of 10k steps, I get more motivated to complete my steps when I know I’m adding points to my account!
I’m kind of a one trick pony, trading in most all of my steps for açaí bowl discounts (lol) I love that I am earning a healthy snack at a discounted rate and frequenting businesses I may not otherwise go to. I had recommended this app to everyone I know!!

Hi SMnanny, thank you very much for kind words about our program and for recommending Fit For Bucks to your friends. Stay motivated and enjoy the rewards!

Deserving of my first app review ever!

5 stars. I’m hooked.

I found out about FFB when one of my coworkers redeemed his steps for a free appetizer at Panini Kabob Grill in Santa Monica. At first we thought it was too good to be true and were curious what waiter would say. But my friend was right and we got the free humus plate (20k steps which is 3 days of walking for me).

Since downloading, I've redeemed 50% off a couple of post-workout smoothies (new spot near my gym), a free class at Burn Fitness, and have a reward sitting in my wallet to try cryotherapy :) Dad and sister are also hooked.

There seems to be new rewards added regularly and I've recently seen some online options too (for anyone that’s not local Los Angeles). I also really dig the clean design of the app - it's fun to scroll through rewards and "window shop." Well done!

Great App!

Great app! I've tracked steps and learned a lot about my fitness since I joined the program. Now I catch myself paying more attention to my daily walks. The graph with steps makes it so easy to see the progression and the best part- I want to walk even more! just redeemed my first $20 online reward for anti-aging minerals at HealthPhix! It was so simple and it felt great.
Hope soon it will be more places in San Jose to redeem my rewards:)
Thank you, guys!

Not All It’s Cut Out to Be

Honestly the app is pretty cool it does what it states tracks your steps and you can use them towards rewards. Although the downside is that all of the rewards are just (%) off of sites and stores. From my week of trying this app there hasn’t been any new offers either. It would be cool that if they don’t implement getting gift cards from your steps than maybe use your steps for a charity of your choice. Just something cool to think about. I will still keep installed for a while to see any change.
