1.) DietBet

DietBet is a pretty interesting way to keep on track of your weight loss goals and to reach out to your competitive side. So basically, the app and website allows you to join bets where you pay a small entry fee, and then you’ll compete against others in the bet who’re also wanting to win that money! In order to win the bet and get some money back, you’ll need to lose a certain percentage of weight in a specific amount of time (usually it’s just 1 month). If you win the game then you’ll split the pot with all the other winners. I have personal experience using Dietbet and it is legit. I’ve won $206 from it! DietBet is available for the Apple and Android

2.) StepBet

So this is from the same company that made DietBet but this focuses on the amount of steps you take. If you’re just wanting to walk more or just get more steps in your day, than this would definitely be for you. From the looks of everything it’s a lot like DietBet, where you’re in competition and you split the pot with the winners. StepBet is available for Apple  and Android

3.) Healthy Wage

This is pretty similar to DietBet, with a few differences. Just like Dietbet, you get paid for winning weight loss challenges. But Healthy Wage focuses more on the user creating challenges with people who know each other such as challenging friends or a type of corporate challenge. While the same can be done with DietBet, Healthy Wage just puts more emphasis on personal challenges and usually there is a big payout.

You can join up to 10 challenges at a time, and you can create personal challenges that’ll keep you motivated. While DietBet challenges are usually a month (some do last longer), Healthy Wage challenges last longer and each month take a minimum of $30 out of your bank account.

Healthy Wage is available for Apple  and for Android

4.) Charity Miles

So, you’re looking to workout, make a little money but not for yourself? Hey, that’s totally cool and there’s even an app for that! The app essentially donates money to a charity of your choice. The app uses your smartphone’s GPS, where it can easily track your movement and track your activity (from walking to cycling). The more you move, the more money your charity is gonna receive. Sounds a little sketchy doesn’t it? Well believe it or not but it’s completely legit!     Charity Miles is available for Apple  and for Android

5.) Walgreens Balance Rewards

As part of the Walgreens’ Balance Rewards for Healthy Choices program, by simply tracking your health and fitness efforts, you can earn Balance Reward Points. You build points which then can be redeemed with Redemption dollars. These redemption dollars can be deducted from your purchases at Walgreens, meaning you can save a lot of money on items there (I’ll be using mine to buy makeup). It was a little tricky for me to sign up at first. The website was a little disorganized All you need to do is sign up to the Walgreens website and download the app. What’s great about this program is the fact you can connect the app with a fitness tracker, like MyFitnessPal or even your Fitbit. Also, you can just log your activities in manually.

The more steps you take the more Balance Rewards points you will earn. You get 20 points per mile, and you can also get those points for tracking your weight, blood glucose levels, sleep schedule, blood pressure, and I’m sure there are a few other things too.  One of the few cons of this App is the cap of 1000 points, so you can only earn up to $1 a month at maximum. The Walgreens app is available for both Apple and Android

6.) AchieveMint

AchieveMint is a website/app, where you gain points just by using the health apps and devices that you already use regularly (similar to Walgreens Balance Rewards). All you need to do is connect your Fitbit, or another app, to your AchieveMint account. You’ll earn points for tracking your weight, amount of sleep, your water intake, your caloric intake and how many steps you take. 10,000 points equal $10 dollars and they payout via Paypal. So, if you’re active and use your Fitbit pretty regularly, then you’re gonna love this app! I use this one and last month I got my first $10. It’s a nice way to make a little bit of cash but it doesn’t take a while to cash out that first $10 if you’re not super active every day. But those points do build up little by little.

If you decide to sign up through my referral you’ll get 100 points!

AchieveMint is available for Apple and Android

7.) Sweatcoin

This app hit in early January 2018 and popularity blew up for it. I also hopped on the hype train to reap the benefits of what this app could offer me. While Sweatcoins are supposedly a cryptocurrency of its own, I personally have my doubts on that. However, similar to some of the other apps I mentioned, you are racking up points (this being Sweatcoins) which then can be exchanged for cool stuff like an iPhone X, Delta Airlines gift card, a discount or free trial to some fitness related services and products. The app does offer a subscription service, so you can earn more than the $5 Sweatcoin daily cap it has. SweatCoin is currently available in the US, UK, and Ireland. But I used a VPN  app to download it so you can try that out too.

Here’s my referral if you wanna sign up through me.

8.) EarthMiles

So, this one is a little different but you’re still getting rewarded for working out. This UK starter company has a similar concept to all the other apps I’ve mentioned. You sync your apps and devices, bother your friends and followers to use your referral, then just wait until you have enough points (in this case Earth Miles) to treat yo self to something nice. This reminds me of SweatCoin to an extent because the rewards are similar. While you can’t redeem and iPhone X, you can redeem your Earth Miles for a free 1-month subscription to an online yoga class, get so much of a percentage off snacks and cool fitness items. If you’re feeling generous, use my code AMB96W3V , you’ll get 50 points and so will I!                    For now, this is available only available in the US and the UK.

EarthMiles is available for Apple and Android

Some Dishonorable Mentions

I wasn’t planning on writing about these four app. They received so many low ratings I figured I should mention them just so you would download at your own risk. A reoccurring complaint with all of them is the fact you can’t cash out and customer service is a joke. I personally wouldn’t waste my time if the 1 stars ratings outdo the fives.
