Question

What's up with the prizes? What's the point in points if prizes suck? Edit: read the second sentence again!  

Answer 1

And it's technically a bonus, not sure why you'd complain about it

Comments

@bottomless last I knew it's a free country

---

@bottomless “It’s a free country comment”  Oh Lord, some people. I agree - it’s a bonus!  

---

@abbottson this is true. Enjoy

---

@nudi1235 some people are happy when they're miserable ‍♀️

Answer 2

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.  

Answer 3

I donate mine.  

Answer 4

Yeah, somebody needs to upgrade those rewards!  

Answer 5

I always donate my win prizes.  

Answer 6

I got the portable speaker and love it and I also got the shoe bag which I also love

Answer 7

I got a $5 coupon for my birthday, and I was going to order a box of some sort of snack, but the shipping was more than $8! Thanks, but NO THANKS. I thought this was sort of tacky.  

Answer 8

I was saving up for Rent The Runway. then they took it away!  

Comments

@orbicular everything seems like it ran out. Even the socks.  

Answer 9

I got the thermal wine cups. Love them! Nice quality

Comments

@mock5120 that’s what I’m saving up for!  

Answer 10

I'm saving for the portable speaker need about 800 more points

Answer 11

I’m saving up for the wine tumblers  

Answer 12

The prize is to be a healthy weight, look good and feel good. Can’t think of anything I’d want more!  

Answer 13

Once in a blue moon they will put up a cookbook. I've gotten 2 of them so far. Really good ones too!  

Answer 14

Shoe bag is awesome.  

Answer 15

Ive gotten a tote bag, shoe bag, salad jars, and 2 makeup bags.  

Answer 16

Wow. the prize should be the weight lost. Isnt that the goal anyway?  

Answer 17

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.  

Comments

@tybi0 I love mine

Answer 18

Nothing I could possibly use

Answer 19

I got a cookbook in the beginning. Haven't seen anything else I want/need since. :(

Answer 20

Some new stuff is supposed to be coming

Answer 21

I can’t get the notification off

Answer 22

You get what you get and you don’t throw a fit!  

Answer 23

I like the 15 dollars off of snacks

Comments

Don't have that one in Canada

Answer 24

I got the portable cell phone charger which is also a makeup mirror that has a light inside. It’s very nice.  

Answer 25

I got the wine tumblers and the charger mirror. Both are good quality.  

Answer 26

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.  

Comments

@beffrey thanks for the feedback. I was thinking of getting the earrings. I’m glad for the heads up. I’ll choose something else.  

---

@beffrey I love my earrings. I got them last week.  

---

@nauseate I love my earrings. I got them last week.  

Answer 27

Agreed - I have thousands of wins saved up but the prizes just aren't worth it for me.  

Answer 28

Some people will complain about anything

Comments

@irmgard Isn't that the point of WW? Work your A** off? JEEZZZZZZZZ !  

---

I agree, the swag could use an overhaul. That said, are you really working your ass off for the wellness wins and not your health? All you do to get wins is track the meals that you would’ve tracked any way.  

---

@abbottson Bless your heart. I'm glad I don't know you in person . you dont have to do the program and they don't have to give you anything. .  

---

@tyburn/activity" class="qa-user-link">tyburn @tyburn/activity" class="qa-user-link">tyburn I agree. This is a new incentive and people still fuss. They need to go back to early days when losing the weight was the prize

Answer 29

I want the yoga mat back  

Comments

@ferrocyanide94 I just saw it yesterday!  

---

@dermato19 on the app? Wow I go check. I’m in Canada we don’t have cool stuff like in the US

Answer 30

Send them back to Oprah

Answer 31

I think the Wellness wins suck to, but that’s not the reason for me to lose weight. I missed out on the last cookbook they had too

Comments

@bambara no. It's not the reason to lose weight. And shouldnt be for anyone, but as an incentive to gets those points.  

---

@abbottson it would be more of an incentive if they had better items. I’ll just keep saving mine and hopefully one day they will have something I like. Not really a big deal to me.  

Answer 32

The “point” is weight loss. Correct? Don’t like the prize, give it back.  

Answer 33

You get prizes? Is this for meetings ? I'm doing online only

Comments

@senegambia7 online

---

Good to know! I'm really in for weight loss and healthy life style.  

Answer 34

I agree

Answer 35

WW is not obligated to give us any prizes. They do this to help motivate us to do the right thing to be healthy and lose weight.  

Comments

@banting679 no really?  

Answer 36

Wow some people are never happy.  

Answer 37

I donated mi e to a food bank

Answer 38

I’ll probably have my comment removed but this seems to like WW just can’t please everyone me included at times. To me, it is like some are acting like spoiled brats and oh yes I can and do at times act like one.  

Comments

@kurtiskurtosis yes. I am a spoiled brat. It's taken me forever to do this. Breast cancer was the reason I joined to change my lifestyle. Excuse me for wanting better or at least more variety in the 'prize' area

---

@abbottson - they had more variety at the beginning of of the wins program. I am glad that you chose to change your lifestyle. I will tell you this you’ll need to contact WW about what you feel as complaining on this site won’t get it done.  

---

@abbottson I would think a second chance at life would take priority over some material things. but what do I know?  

---

@duvalier well said

---

@abbottson What prize?  

---

Sometimes we need help & that can be material incentive for some. Play nice, folks.  

---

@judaica9474 Wellness Wins

Answer 39

When I started at the beginning of the year, the prizes were better. They have been dwindling.  

Answer 40

The point is that you lose weight and follow your point system. Jesus - are you that selfish?  

Comments

@duvalier We don't need to be judgemental . Who knows what she is going through.  

---

@judaica9474 She’s not going through anything but a temper tantrum. And if you keep reading, she literally says she’s a spoiled brat.  You play stupid games, you win stupid prizes. that’s what she’s playing.  

---

@duvalier compassion, my dear. Read ALL. I AM DONE!  

Answer 41

OMG! Bitchy post and bitchfest comments.  

Comments

@freesia simple question. Now after all the personal attacks I have turned the BITCH on

---

@abbottson Not a simple question. Take a chill pill and come back to it.  

Answer 42

I got the blue tooth speaker, stainless steel water bottle, insulated bag. I love them. Now working toward the stainless steel wine tumblers.  

Comments

@banting679 that’s what I want.  

Answer 43

Yes right now they seem to be lacking in prizes. I have gotten several nice things in the past year. The best being a wireless speaker. I wanted more socks but there are gone. Maybe they'll add more choices soon!  

Answer 44

Agree. I mentioned that in my meeting and was told they are working on adjusting the points and prizes.  

Answer 45

Some of them are bizarre rewards but I just used mine for $15 off ww goods and ordered some snacky things as a treat once in a while on the few days I have points left over

Answer 46

WhY are people taking this personally. It’s someone’s opinion.  

Answer 47

I love my earrings I got. Small but gorgeous

Comments

@lordly82 Eckard Ritch Yes! I like mine too! They were small but since I’m not really going anywhere well. HaHa! I call them my quarantine earrings!  

---

I have 3 holes in each ear and put them in the middle. Small diamonds in the upper and hoops on the bottom. Looks very elegant like that. I would order them again.  

---

Love the earrings

Answer 48

The prize is a skinny butt

Answer 49

I agree they’re not great incentives but I don’t care That reason would be one more excuse for me not to follow the plan

Answer 50

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!  

Comments

@dight507 excellent response.  

Answer 51

IMHO the donation on Tier 1 of fresh fruits and vegetables to a family in need is the best option, especially when so many are struggling to get the basics that they really need right now.  

Comments

@beery415 completely agree i dont think i would be able to pick any other option knowing someone in need to get help

---

I haven't looked but can I donate food to myself as a person in need?  

---

@compassion958 I think it goes to a food bank, but you could contact Customer Service and ask. Best of luck!  

Answer 52

The point is losing weight

Answer 53

I just got a hat and it seems ok!  

Answer 54

Omg! What happened to being kind. Knock it off. Seriously

Answer 55

I have turned in three times so far for really nice stuff.  

Answer 56

Donate it

Answer 57

You can donate them.  

Answer 58

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!  

Answer 59

Prizes? What prizes? I like prizes  

Answer 60

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

Answer 61

The point is to lose weight. That’s The prize

Answer 62

When I first started they had decent prizes and now that I have a fair amount of points the prizes do suck

Answer 63

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.  

Comments

@nanine I want that for Canada too

Answer 64

Got some good stuff in the beginning

Answer 65

Is it not about weight loss and learning to eat healthier

Answer 66

I live in Scotland and our prizes are not very good no books just a journal sleep set wine glass thing skip cap pencil case socks money of pp on food goods etc nothing really exciting

Answer 67

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.
