    It takes 2000 points to redeem $10.00.

    10 points is literally worth 5 cents.

    As previously discussed here.

    Bunnings paint shaker, here I come…

  • isthisreallife22 on 09/05/2016 - 14:57

    Have had a fitbit (which incidentally I redeemed for free via flybuys rewards) for about a year… linnked to this deal… and have hit the 10k target about 360 of the 365 days (roughly). Nice little bonus and added motivation for me.

    So that's 3600 points I guess

    Old deal but I like it

    • montorola on 09/05/2016 - 16:03

      Very nice, apart from all the points etc, how has it affected your health?

      Did you lose weight and tone up?

      • isthisreallife22 on 09/05/2016 - 16:14

        Yeah definitely. Completely changed my life

          Well done for taking the initiative, if anything your story is more of a motivation to me than the deal haha

  • Stahh on 09/05/2016 - 15:08

    For those that cant hit 10k steps a day adding the step via the app manually will take 10 seconds.

    • mangew on 09/05/2016 - 15:17

      Can you elaborate on how to manually add/edit steps manually via their app? I can only find setting step goals.
      Thanks

      • ajlaird on 09/05/2016 - 16:07

        Add exercise, choose walking, put in time and distance. It will increase your steps.

        • Stahh on 09/05/2016 - 22:37

          Yeh what he said you go to add exercise then there is a stop watch top right of the screen add walk, run or bike ride input time & distance it will update your steps occordinly.

        • mangew on 10/05/2016 - 16:47

          @TheStahh:

          Thank you!

    • abc on 09/05/2016 - 16:34

      Flybuys link won't accept manually added steps. Check the T&C.

      Unless you have gotten it to work successfully and received your points?

      • Stahh on 09/05/2016 - 22:38

        There is no way of them knowing if manual steps have been added unless they have accesa to your phone even then it comes up as you did the exercise.

  • seraphim2017 on 09/05/2016 - 15:40

    Also works with Garmin if you have one of their trackers. I'd better get the Mrs running in the morning to get those steps up!

    • NigelTufnel on 09/05/2016 - 16:04

      Certain wrist movements by your Mrs can mimics steps… I'll just leave it at that.

        how will ol' two stroke get the other 9998 steps?

        EDIT: not referring to anyone in particular in the comments (if you are the type to take offence easily, I refer to myself)

      • banzini on 09/05/2016 - 16:54

        this needs more votes+

      you'll be running if she reads this comment!

  • Little Miss on 09/05/2016 - 16:16

    How easy is it to link? I am wondering whether I can add 3 family members who are not living with me and who have a different fund so wouldn't use it and get some extra points? I don't have a fit bit, so not sure how syncing works… Cheers

    • isthisreallife22 on 09/05/2016 - 18:03

      Login to flybuys -> click link to fitbit -> login to fitbit -> authorise flybuys to access fitbit data -> done

      if you have the various usernames and passwords, piece of pie

      • Little Miss on 09/05/2016 - 22:30
        +1

        So just by entering the usernames it will know the steps? The device doesn't have to be plugged in to the computer or anything?

  • puffinfresh on 09/05/2016 - 16:25

    The title isn't quite accurate. It's not 10 points for every 10000 steps, it's 10 points every day you reach 10000 steps. As is, the title suggests you could walk 20000 steps in a day and get 20 points, or walks 10000 steps over multiple days to get 10 points.

  • altomic on 09/05/2016 - 16:33

    Here rover.

  • jaygee on 09/05/2016 - 16:43

    Is 10 points really enough motivation for anyone?

  • miq on 09/05/2016 - 16:44
    +1

    Absolutely not worth bothering with, as person above mentioned it's a MAX 10pts (5c) per day no matter how many multiples of 10000 steps you do.

    HOWEVER… Once a year on average they have a promo where you get 20000 points ($100) if you do 10K steps every day for a month. That's definitely worth it!

    • justtoreply on 09/05/2016 - 18:58
      +1

      This would be worth it. Except it really needs to be an average of 10k steps per day. For example, if I did a marathon on Saturday, I wouldn't want to be told I needed to be on my feet to do 10k steps on Sunday (or Monday!)

  • illumination on 09/05/2016 - 16:45

    Ok if you're doing this anyway then yea sure, 10 points/day, yay.

    But as has been mentioned above, literally 5 cents. That's garbage. I can't say I'd consider this a true "deal" myself.

    Don't take this personally OP. This offer by Medibank/FlyBuys is garbage. Not you.

  • eatsnake on 09/05/2016 - 16:54

    Will this also work with xiao mi band?

  • Brink on 09/05/2016 - 16:57

    If you're an office worker, don't even attempt 10k a day. Just won't happen. Gym twice a day (cardio at lunch, weights in evening) and I barely manage 5-7k.

    9-5 is the devil.

    • darkmattersunB6c0MV on 09/05/2016 - 17:56

      I easily get 10k and work 8:30 AM to 5:30 PM.
      So please do not generalise, and discourage others. It is difficult at the beginning, but with some effort, you can do it, and soon, it becomes a habit. People, you can get down one or two stations before your stop and walk. Go out during lunch, and with your spouse/ kids in the evening.
      All counts ! You are the winner.

    • isthisreallife22 on 09/05/2016 - 18:04

      I am very desk bound but walk to/from the next station rather than the one near my office, and also get off about 10 mins walk from house. Get about 7,000 doing that alone.

      • Brink on 09/05/2016 - 18:11

        Ok…looks like there's some serious differences in devices. I've been on a 10km 2.5 hour hike and only got 9k steps?

      • justtoreply on 09/05/2016 - 19:02

        How many km's? That sounds way too many steps for that. I suppose a step would be about 0.75m.. ie: 7000 steps is 5.25km
        Note 1km fast walk is about 10min. Meaning you walk 4km for that extra train station in the morning?

        Unless you're mobile a lot in the office (and it doesn't sound like you were including office walking at all), that doesn't add up.

        Roughly, 10000 steps should be 1.25 hours of walking, or 7.5km.

        Brink's hike sounds a little low for steps, maybe by 20%.

    If you can, look up the show "the weekly". About 3 or 4 weeks ago Charlie Pickering did a story on "big data" and how devices like fitbits are being used, in this instance by medibank to track what food (through flybuys) you are purchasing and how much exercise you do. In turn medibank can use this information to arrive at different policy premiums. I'm not some tinfoil hat wearing weirdo, its just an interesting take at how a seemingly individual tracking device can give much more information when combined with other data.

    • [Deactivated] on 09/05/2016 - 19:51

      There was at least one report from overseas which claimed that a Health Fund were using this data against a member. They looked at what food the person ate and rejected a particular health claim as the condition was caused by the food they had been buying.

    • Little Miss on 11/05/2016 - 09:42

      I watched this and it made me think. This is possible. With Flybuys now teaming up with good life gym too, then doing insurance so they know where you live and what car you drive - the info is just increasing
