I tried GymPact with runkeeper and out of five correctly registered weeks I only received a reward for two. So only 6 dollars for 25 workouts.. At the risk of losing 125!
(My pact was 5 workouts per week and a 5 dollar penalty per missed workout, I missed none)
GymPact's customer service is very bad, they have never given me an explanation and I must have sent them 5-10 emails/tweets/ bug reports.
So my advice: don't use GymPact
Thanks for adding your experience to the post.
After I started this thread I also started a Gympact account but I have so far had a very good experience.
My pact is only for 3 days a week and $5 penalties. I bike four days a week but figured it would be best to limit it to 3 just in case something were to happen. For example last week I started getting sick so I took the train an extra day.
So far Gympact has paid me each week (about 5 weeks now). My winnings have ranged from about $1.50 to $1.90 or so. You must have $10 in your account before you can withdraw money so I haven't actually been paid just yet.
You might think that it's not a whole lot of money but actually at this rate Gympact will pay me more than ANY of my dividend paying stocks (I'm only in my first year of investing so I hope this changes). When you look at it that way it's not bad. Plus I'm going to be biking anyway so I might as well grab an extra $60-$80 a year.
Cnugteren is correct about their customer service. They are slow, and sometimes just don't reply. They promise you a $5 bonus for the first pact that you finish but so far at almost six weeks in I have yet to be paid that bonus AND I've emailed them on multiple occasions about it. If I had been having more problems his would really make me upset.
My suggestion is if you have a GPS enabled phone and are biking to work already anyway you can make some extra cash with Gym-pact. Be conservative and put your pact at one day less than what you actually do per week. That way you can get used to it and if something comes up you have a buffer.
