Get Money While Playing Pokemon Go!
As many of you know, Pokemon Go is a free app where you go out into the real world and collect Pokemon as you go, which is a fun way to get some steps in your pedometer. Another free app, called Pact (formerly GymPact), pays users to work out as many times as said user agrees to workout during the course of the week. This can either be through a 30 minute gym check in, 30 minutes of motion tracking, or 10,000 steps throughout your day.
So I figured I would share this with everyone because Pokemon Go will have a lot of people walking, and maybe even motivate you to walk more. While you’re trying to catch ‘em all, you can easily reach 10,000 steps through neighborhoods, parks, campuses, etc. Or, start the motion tracker and spend 30 minutes playing Pokemon Go. Or, go to a gym (an actual one) to check in and spend 30 minutes playing Pokemon Go there. The point is that I feel there are a lot of alternatives to play this game and make some cash.
The catch with Pact is that if you say you’re going to work out 2 times a week and only end up working out once, you have to pay 5$-15$ (the amount is set by you) for each day that you miss. So if you say you’ll work out twice during the week and only work out once, and you set your amount to 10$ per missed day, you owe the Pact community 10$. I recommend starting off with a light load just to see what it’s like before you commit to doing anything 7 days a week.
Other quick facts about Pact:
the amount you get paid each week varies because you get paid from other users who don’t complete their pact. This translates to: more money during holidays, etc when people aren’t as concerned with being active and less during times such as New Years when everyone’s resolution is to get fit
the minimum cashout is $10 via verified paypal (they do this because of processing fees)
you can also log what you eat in a day via MyFitnessPal (also free) as well as eat fruits/veggies (by taking pictures) to get paid
I’ve been paid by Pact several times and they’re pretty fast
