How can I win a prize?
You will earn one BetterTicket for every walking, cycling and running activity you record via the BetterPoints app each week during the challenge (of at least half a mile) in the Pushing Ahead reward zone - visit the Frequently asked questions here to see the rewards zone. At the end of the week all your tickets will go into a prize draw to win a variety of prizes ranging from £15 to £50!
Workplace prize - A £100 donation will be given to charity as a reward to the workplaces who get the most amount of their employees taking part in the challenge. This will be scored over four size categories and based on percentage engagement of staff who log a minimum of one activity during the challenge to ensure organisations of all sizes have a fair chance of winning. For more information on the workplace categories visit the FAQs page.
What is the difference between BetterTickets and BetterPoints?
BetterTickets are a prize draw entry earned for doing a specific activity. The tickets you earn automatically enter you into our weekly prize draws.
BetterPoints are something you can win through the prize draws. They are a financially backed currency that you can redeem for high street vouchers or give to your favourite charity or community group. (1,000 BetterPoints is equivalent to £1.)
What can I spend my points on?
Check out our list of vouchers by tapping Redeem on the bottom navigation bar of your app. You can also give your points to your favourite charity or community group by tapping Donate.
