The LifeCoin app helps users earn extra money while staying fit. For every 1,000 steps walked, the app rewards the users with one LifeCoin, and for every 2,500 LifeCoins accumulated, users will receive a $50 gift card that can be used at the reward store to purchase goods. There is a maximum of 5 LifeCoins that can be acquired daily.
For those looking to rack up LifeCoins more quickly, users can subscribe to the annual membership — $39.99 USD annually — that will allow them to accumulate 10 LifeCoins per day (or 10,000 steps which is very achievable for the average commuter). This means users can earn their gift card in 250 days rather than 500 days.
