Do you know you can earn points for doing something you do everyday?
Sweatcoin is a new app that pays you “Sweatcoins” for the number of outdoor steps you take each day. These “coins” can be exchanged for a variety a items/experiences on the app. The rewards change on a regular basis so don’t worry if nothing catches your eye right away.
The app runs in the background of your phone, tracking your steps using gps and your phones accelerometer. I tend to leave the app running (it uses up between 5-10% of my battery) but you can also close the app down and it will still pick up your steps (though you may lose out a little).
To start off you are restricted to earning on your first 5000 steps per day, but the app gives you option of “upping” your membership level to count more steps (10,000, 15,000, and a staggering 20,000 steps per day) for a monthly membership fee of Sweatcoins. This is something to consider if you are walking a lot as the charge is minimal in comparison to how much more you can earn.
Sweatcoin is by no means a quick earner. I’ve had it for a couple of weeks now and I’m only at 100swc, but I love this app as I don’t have to do anything beyond what I’m already doing and it doesn’t require any maintenance. I’m hoping that by the time we reach December, I’ll have enough to buy a Christmas present for my athletics loving boyfriend 🙂
This app is available on both Apple and Android, and you can sign up here!
