Understanding BetterYou's Milestone Areas and Rewards

At BetterYou, we strive to motivate our members to accomplish their goals and reach their desired outcomes. Because research has shown that surprise and delight rewards build better long-term behavior compared to getting a roadmap to a reward, we keep the exact formula for earning a reward under wraps! However, we can give you a little insight into how you can maximize your chances.

We want to incent people to take actions that will help them in the long-term. Working on your goals is the most important, but doing the following will increase your odds of earning a reward week over week.

Rewards are calculated based on many factors throughout the app. We incorporate a combination of the 4 milestone areas and the activity associated with them.

Goal setting and achieving them are weighted a bit higher, but all 4 milestone areas are considered when awarding rewards.

By employing a “Now-That Rewards” philosophy we ensure members set goals that will help them achieve the outcomes they want.

This philosophy allows members to set goals aligned to their individual interests and needs, as opposed to goals that only offer rewarded outcomes.

To learn more about the difference between Now-That and If-Then rewards, check out this Linkedin article and the accompanying Ted Talk video.

Members have other ways to gain rewards through running organization challenges. By hitting their designated goals for each challenge, members can become eligible to receive prizes or awards based on challenge rules.

BetterYou also runs monthly challenges to promote activity and engagement among members. Past challenges include the Fourth of July Steps Challenge, the August National Wellness Month Goal Setter Challenge, and the Trick or Treat Halloween Challenge. Qualifying members are eligible to win prizes for these monthly challenges.
