Title: money making/saving apps for walking/jogging
Post by: sak4kat on July 11, 2017, 09:46:01 am

Any suggestions on which app to use.  I have an android 3.0 (yeah and oldie but goodie) I've heard of people using an app to earn cents.  Anyone using one?

Achievement gives you a certain amount of points per activity( total steps or distance done)

Pact you set a goal for a certain amount of active days and that can be hitting 10,000 steps, a 30 minute or longer activity from a connected app, or 30 minutes or longer motion tracked workout. Pact also is for eating fruits and vegetables.

^ Pact is shutting down.

You can also earn points on Walgreens if you have a Balance Rewards card if you have a Fitbit or other activity tracker. But Achievemint is really the other way to earn money for healthy living.

I use Charity Miles. It pays 25 cents per mile of running, jogging, walking, or biking to your favorite charity. You just tap it to start the run or walk and then tap again when you are finished. The app calculates the distance you went and pays the charity. It really motivates you to exercise.

Would like to make money for myself lol but will definitely pass along the Charity Miles app to a friend who helps with a breast cancer group.

After having looked into a few... achievement, misfits, map my walk.... my phone is unable to either connect to a fit bit sort of thing because I don't have one.  Or it says memory is to small to run.  Sigh.  A for effort.  It'll be have to be something to look into when I get an upgrade.
