Paidtogo – Walk, Run and Earn

How It Works

Welcome to the PaidToGo walk, run and earn program! Our goal is to give people a little extra motivation to walk and run more. Taking steps, especially that first 5000-10,000 steps per day, is proven to have incredible health benefits. With PaidToGo, we give you some extra motivation by earning money. The ultimate reward is your health and fitness improvements from walking and running more.

You can earn PTG Coins for taking steps and hitting goals. Coins are worth 2.5 cents USD each. You can earn up to $30 per month as a pro member. In addition, you could win over $100 or more by entering paid Challenges and splitting the pot with other winners. Paid step Challenges require a buy in between $30-$60 and are usually 30 days.

Challenges:

Community Challenges offer a new way for you to compete against peers and earn money. Challenges are currently only for Pro users. Simply select a Challenge you are eligible for based on your step history and pay the entry fee via Paypal. Hit your monthly step goal as stated in the Challenge rules and you win. Winners are guaranteed to get their initial entry fee back in addition to a split of the proceeds.

We have 3 categories for Challenges so users are competing and peers with similar step history. Here’s how Challenge eligibility works based on your previous 90 days of step data in Apple Health:

Standard Challenges: < 5000 steps per day

Rigorous Challenges: 5001 – 10,000 steps per day

Competitive Challenges: Greater than 10,000 steps per day

You can enter a Challenge up until the moment the Challenge begins and then it is closed. Simply walk and run as normal and sync your data regularly. You have 48 hours after the end of a Challenge to sync your data for the final step totals. If you have hit the Step Goal then you are a winner.

NOTE: You need to log in and sync your steps at the end of the Challenge in order to make sure all your steps are counted. Steps are synced on log and we cannot pull them in you do not log and sync them. We recommend syncing your data regularly and you get Coins just for logging in each day.

How Step Tracking Works

We sync data with Apple Health. If you are using a fitness tracker that syncs with Apple Health then we should get the data. You can walk indoors or outdoors and your earnings are based on steps with a setting of 2000 steps to the mile. Coins are earned and accrued on a daily basis, not a monthly basis. This means you get 1 Coin for every 2000 steps in a day. If you take 1999 steps for the day, you will get 0 coins. If you take 3999 steps, you would get credit for the first mile but not the second. 

Earning Additional Coins

In addition to walking and running, you can earn additional Coins in the following ways. There are four ways you can earn additional Coins:

1. You can earn 25 Coins for every referral that downloads our app and registers an account. 

2. Earn 1 Coin for logging in each day

3. Place in the top 3 for a Challenge
