I suppose it’s all a matter of opinion. not everyone thinks the prizes “suck”. If you don’t want the current items, they do add new ones periodically - you can donate them if you prefer not to get something for yourself - or just save them if you wish. It’s a fun “bonus” for healthy living.

I used mine for weight watchers snacks. Had them shipped to my door. I added to my order enough to get free shipping. I feel they were “worth it” as I can have a treat and still stay within my points allowance.

I got the earrings. They are horrible. Don’t waste wellness wins on these. They were tiny and don’t even go through my ears. I wasted 3000 wins on these. I complained to WW and I was told they couldn’t refund my points but would pass along my complaint to the higher ups. I did end up getting 1500 wins back. Not worth it.

Hi @
abbottson
You’re not obligated to accept that free gift being offered if you have no use for it. You can donate your points, give them to a friend, or simply not participate in that part of the program. I love this positive reinforcement approach to changing behaviour WW is using. That is the beauty of the program. You can use as much of the program as you’d like that works for your journey. Good luck on your journey!

Save the points for WW store items! Get a new kitchen utensil, a scale, a cookbook, or some snacks. If you know someone who likes cooking but is not on WW, you could gift some of these items too!

Save them until you see something, donate them, don’t use them at all. I love when people complain about free stuff. ♀️

I used mine for snacks and took advantage of the discount off they had last week. Getting 11 boxes of chips and treats for $28. I would not say that sucks.

With all of these points, they are never anything you really want. I think it just a extra bonus and incentive. Better than when they offered nothing.
