How can you help me stay motivated?
With BetterPoints you can see your reward points accumulate in the app. Check out the rewards you can earn here. We will also share news of what is going on locally to help you maintain your active habit. We've got regular prize draws, plus we'll have campaigns, competitions and giveaways throughout the challenge.
How much information do I need to share to sign up?
When you first register to use the BetterPoints app, it will ask you to provide personal details to get you started. This includes your name, email address, year of birth, location, and postcode. We also ask you to create a secure password for accessing the BetterPoints app and protecting your account. You will be asked to turn on auto-tracking: all GPS data is anonymised, aggregated and only used for reporting so that we can evaluate the impact of the challenge and ensure it continues to provide an incentive to get physically active. By sharing GPS tracked activities you are helping to make Ebbsfleet and the surrounding areas healthier, greener and more liveable places for everyone.
