HealthyWage HealthyWage - A goal, a deadline, financial incentive, and competition

I am so glad I invested in myself over the last 9 months with HealthyWage! I had seen information about the company before, but I was hesitant to put money on the line, mostly because of a lack of confidence in myself to lose the weight. I have battled being overweight/obese my entire adult life but have lost the weight successfully 2 other times: my freshman year of high school and for my wedding in 2013.
I realized that to meet my weight loss goals, I needed the push of a specific goal and a deadline like I had with my wedding, and HealthyWage provided that for me! After playing with the calculator, I knew I had 9 months to lose 60 pounds. I put in $100/month and if I succeeded, I would get $2474 paid back. I also joined as many mini-challenges along the way that I could and beat all of those! In addition to providing me a goal and deadline, HealthyWage offered a financial incentive and made losing the weight a competition for me... A competition that I didn't want to lose. I pushed to win every mini-challenge, and ultimately, my HealthyWage! I am healthier, happier, and grateful for this company!

HealthyWage Total positive experience with HealthyWage from start to finish!

I had a great experience with HealthyWage! I was on a HealthyWager challenge for over a year and had zero issues with their website or their app. I signed up to lose 60 pounds in 12 months. My payment was $75 a month. My prize was $2905 if I won. I took advantage of their "buy extra time" option. Which meant I would pay $75 a month for 6 more months. My prize would still remain $2905 if, in the end, I lost 60 pounds. It is explained in several places that when you extend your time this money is NOT being added to your prize money so I'm sad to see some of the poor ratings given to HealthyWage because a couple of people didn't carefully read the guidelines. My 2 verified video weigh-ins went off without a hitch. The confirmation that I met my goal and was a winner went off without a hitch. My prize money arrived in less than 2 weeks after I was declared a winner. All in all, I paid HealthyWage $1350. I made a profit of $1555. And I lost 60 pounds! I have nothing but praise for HealthyWage! I highly recommend their HealthyWager program and will continue to share my personal and positive experience with them to others!

HealthyWage HealthyWage is a great Weight loss Motivater

I absolutely have no regrets about using this platform to help me lose over40lbs! My stating weight us 185lbs ending weight is 144lbs. I bet u would lose 40lbs in 18 months using $30 payments. So technically after the money I paid I only won around $800 but still free money, the confidence earned with the weight loss, and health benefits really make the money not the top priority. I did use a calorie deficit model and my fit bit to actually help me lose the weight but healthy wage kept me accountable. I'm so grateful for there service. It has truely changed my life. I lost my 40lbs in 1 year and my bet was for 18months so I had to maintain my 40lb weight loss for 6 months to win. Which I have done and I have been paid my winnings. I chose to be paid through PayPal which did put a hold on my funds but that was paypals doing so I don't blame healthy wage for this. There is a paper check option for people who don't want tk deal with PayPal. This service us great for people serious about weight loss. They don't hold ue hand the whole time so you need to be self motivated as well. This is a great platform for weight loss and I highly recommend it. I'm now at a healthy weight and I feel so much better!

HealthyWage Bet on yourself. if you have the right mindset and work hard, you won't regret it!

For anyone out there that is skeptical, I was in your shoes about 9 months ago. I spent almost 3 months playing around with the idea of betting on myself, figuring out if HealthyWage was a legitimate company or if it was a scam, and playing around with the calculator to see what worked best for me. I finally decided I'd give it a try after seeing a video of HealthyWage on Good Morning America- I mean what was the worst that could happen? In January, I took that leap of faith. I bet $330 ($55/month) that I would lose 45 lbs in 6 months. In 6 months, I hit my personal goal and lost 46 lbs and I won $911. If there is any confusion, the $911 also included the $330 I put into it myself. The way I see it is I didn't lose $330 as that was technically my money and I profited $581. I was ecstatic to receive a check from HealthyWage within 10 days after completing my final official weigh out and submitting my Official Winner Confirmation Form! HealthyWage helped me get in the right mindset and as a working mom of 2, it feels great! HealthyWage helped kick start and motivate my weight loss journey and I am so grateful. The Customer Service was incredible and the rules/policies are very clear-cut! When you start, know you are taking a gamble. I'm so glad I bet on myself and did something that was for me for the first time in a long time!

HealthyWage Mixed results: My experience with HealthyWage

So, I used this site called HealthyWage (you can find it at healthywage.com) and let me tell you, I was super skeptical at first. Like, how can you make money just by losing weight? But I decided to give it a shot, and let me tell you - it WORKED. I won $2,500 and lost 50 freakin' pounds my first time around. I was feeling myself, y'all.

But I still had some weight to lose, so I signed up for another bet (technically my third time using the site) and I was feeling confident. Until I got an email from them saying my bet was cancelled. What?! I was counting on that money to get me through the holidays, and I worked SO HARD to lose that weight. I was feeling pretty deflated.

So, I started emailing back and forth with them trying to figure out what was going on. Apparently, there's a rule about "yoyo-ing" - like if you gain some weight back after you lose it, they don't want you to enter more bets and potentially lose. Here's the thing: I had a whole year and a failed bet in between my first win and my second attempt, so there was no yoyo-ing happening. But even if there was, it was THEIR responsibility to catch it, not mine. According to their own rules, they could have let me compete but just adjusted my starting weight based on my last bet's ending weight - but they didn't do that. So, I didn't even have a chance to win.

But it gets worse. They told me they would "do me a favor" and refund my initial investment, but they didn't even do that correctly. They only refunded 3 out of the 9 payments I made. Now, they've gone completely AWOL and won't even respond to my emails. I feel scammed and robbed, honestly. And it seems like I'm not the only one - I've read reviews from other people who've had similar experiences. It's like they're always looking for a loophole to not pay out.

All in all, I wouldn't recommend HealthyWage. Sure, I won some money and lost some weight the first time around, but the second attempt was a complete disaster. And even if you do win, who can say for sure they'll actually pay you? It's just too risky, in my opinion.

HealthyWage HealthyWage Review: A Total Scam - Don't Waste Your Money or Time

So there's this website called HealthyWage, right? You bet some of your hard-earned cash that you can drop some serious pounds, and if you succeed, you get your money back and then some. Sounds like a sweet deal, right? Well, that's what I thought too when I signed up in late 2020. I was pumped to have a little extra motivation to finally lose the weight that's been haunting me for years. And honestly, I was stoked that there was a company out there trying to help folks get healthier. So I ponied up a hefty chunk of change - $2,000 to be exact.

Fast forward a few weeks, and I broke my dang foot. I had to have surgery and everything. But the surgeon told me it was a straightforward procedure and I'd be back to my regular routine in a month or two. So I figured I could still hit my weight loss goal and collect my winnings. But as luck would have it, there were some complications and my foot started hurting like crazy. I kept pushing myself to work out, but eventually it became too unbearable. I went back to the surgeon, who said I needed yet another dang surgery. That's when I reached out to HealthyWage to see if I could cancel my program or at least extend the deadline so I'd have a shot at getting my money back.

But let me tell you, y'all - their response was straight-up garbage. They said they'd cancel the program, but wouldn't give me a penny back. And the only extension they offered was a measly three weeks - as if I could lose six months' worth of weight in just three ding-dang weeks. It was a total scam, and honestly, it just felt like they were preying on people who really need the help. I even sent them a doctor's note explaining my situation, and they still wouldn't budge.

I'm not one to freak out about little things, but this seriously irked me. Here's this company that's supposedly all about improving people's health, but they wouldn't give me a break even though I had a legit medical issue. So yeah, I'm gonna go ahead and say it - HealthyWage is a total sham. I wouldn't trust them as far as I could throw 'em, and I sure wouldn't recommend them to anyone else. Consider me thoroughly unimpressed.

HealthyWage HealthyWage Review: Go Big or Go Home!

Hey guys, I gotta tell you about my experience with HealthyWage! At first, I was pretty skeptical about it, but I thought I’d give it a shot. Basically, you create a goal for yourself and commit to losing a certain amount of weight within a certain time period. Then, you pay monthly installments towards your challenge. And if you hit your goal, you get a nice fat paycheck!

Now, at first, I wasn’t too happy with the mini-challenges they had. These were team or individual challenges that you could join to make some extra money on the side. But here was the catch - if everyone hit their goal, then there was no payout. And the payouts that DID happen were like a measly $1-4 dollars. So basically, you’d give them your money, not earn ANY interest on it, and then they’d send it back to you months later. And to add insult to injury, they make you pay $7 for them to send you the check OR pay $2 + 3% for a PayPal deposit. It’s just not worth it.

BUT, here’s where HealthyWage redeems itself - the BIG challenge! I committed to losing 40 pounds in six months, and I gotta tell you, it was tough but totally worth it. And because I stuck to my goal, I’m getting a check for $2200! That’s right, you heard me. I paid $180/month over six months, but now I’m getting a sweet paycheck that’s going to make all that hard work worth it.

So, my revised review of HealthyWage is this: go big or go home! Don’t even bother with the mini-challenges. It’s just not worth the hassle. But if you commit to a big goal like I did, and stick to it, you’ll be rewarded big time. Sure, the check fee policy is pretty lousy, but at the end of the day, they came through with their promise. Plus, I’m feeling pretty great about myself for losing all that weight. So, I’m giving HealthyWage a solid 4/5 stars.

HealthyWage HealthyWage: The Motivation You Need to Lose Weight and Win Money!

Last year, I was looking for some serious motivation to stick to my weight loss plan. I was already two months into the year, and I needed a push to keep going. That's when I stumbled upon HealthyWage.com, and let me tell you, I was skeptical at first. It sounded too good to be true - a site that would pay me to lose weight? Sign me up!

I work in a field where I project odds, so I figured it was probably real. After all, so many people fail at their weight loss goals, so the site can afford to pay those who meet theirs. So I went ahead and made a bet. I wanted to lose 75 pounds, so I gave myself 10 months to do it, with a total bet of $400. The potential payout was over $1400. Let me tell you, I was motivated like never before.

I started off strong, but things really took off when I joined my first team challenge. The support and camaraderie of the group really helped catapult my weight loss. In the last 10 months, I've joined my personal healthy wager, two team challenges, and countless individual challenges. My total investment has been about $700, and my total winnings over $4K. You bet I'm taking my family on a cruise!

But it's not just about the money. The individual and team challenges have the most potential for winning, but even the individual challenges are better than interest on your money in a bank. And the best part? You meet real people who are doing the same thing you're doing. This creates a support system that's invaluable - you can vent, ask questions, and share advice with people who get it.

Collecting my winnings has been a breeze - verified weigh-ins are easy, and I've never had to wait more than a few days to receive my money via PayPal. And the customer service is top-notch - fast responses via email. Everything about this site and company is real - I can attest to that.

So, my advice to anyone looking to lose weight and make some money while doing it - bet on yourself! Set a realistic goal, stick with it, and don't lose focus. You'll win exactly what the site says you can win. And where else can you spend $75 for a chance to win $2K? Maybe Vegas - but then, there's that buffet... Yikes.

HealthyWage Transform Your Life with HealthyWage: My Review and Experience

Oh man, let me tell you about HealthyWage, yo! This company is the real deal and it's totally transforming lives, including my own! I mean, I love this company more than pizza (and that's saying a lot, believe me).

When I decided to take the plunge and make the commitment to my health, joining HealthyWage was one of the smartest things I've ever done for myself. I mean, I'm now a full-on ambassador for the program because of how much it changed my life, and I can't wait to answer any and all questions you may have about how it works.

Alright, here's the deal: the first step is to play around with the bet calculator and figure out your initial bet and weight loss goal, all while customizing the time frame that works best for you. The minimum time frame is six months, while the maximum is 18 months – so you really have room to play around with. But listen, more risk equals more reward, but you don't want to "over bet" and not be able to reach your goal, or else you'll lose all of your cash money. Once you've dialed down your plan, you sign up to make automatic monthly payments, go through a verified weigh-in, and then the real challenge begins.

And guess what? You can even sign up for additional challenges and make even more dough (of the money variety, not the bread kind). These challenges can be team-based or taken on as an individual, so it's completely up to you. Personally, I crushed my main HealthyWage challenge and then took on 23 extra challenges, all of which had separate payouts. You gotta love a good side hustle, am I right?

Now, let's talk about the verified weigh-in process. At the beginning and end of each challenge, you have to do a weigh-in that's verified, which basically means you weigh in on video through their app, at a doctor's office, or at a Weight Watchers meeting. Personally, I find it super easy and convenient to just do it by myself in front of my bathroom mirror. And hey, it's way nicer to do it on your own time rather than waiting in a stuffy waiting room, right?

Listen, the payments you make to HealthyWage are done through monthly automatic payments, and the minimum bet is $100 (spread out over the course of your bet, not monthly). And let me tell you – they DO NOT do refunds, so make sure you're absolutely ready for the challenge before you sign up. And if you don't meet your weight loss goal, say goodbye to your money.

So look, I hope I've covered all of the basics, but if you still have questions, don't hesitate to slide into my DMs. And here's the link to the prize calculator (which is totally free, BTW, and comes with no obligation). And listen, if you sign up through my link, you'll get an extra $40 in your payout, so it's a win-win!

Seriously though, this bet had me so focused and committed to my goals. And listen, I'm super competitive, so there's no way I was gonna lose all the cash money I put into this. And guess what? I lost 100 pounds, crushed my bet, and feel better than I have in years.

So listen up, people: challenge yourself, because you are totally worth it. And you CAN do it! Head to https://hwage.co/*** to learn more.

HealthyWage HealthyWage Review: A Legit Way to Make Money While Getting Healthy

Yo, I gotta say, after reading some of the salty reviews out there, it's clear to me that some people just don't do their research before they bet their money. Let me tell you straight up - HealthyWage is a legit, easy-to-use way to make some dough while you work on losing weight. Before you start, you should crunch some numbers and be realistic about what you can achieve. You need to take things like your body type, your metabolism, and how committed you are into account. Once you've made your bet, that cash is non-refundable, so make sure you're ready to hustle.

If you're the kinda person who needs extra support or advice, HealthyWage isn't gonna be enough on its own. You might want to think about teaming up with a trainer, or using an app like WW or Noom to help you eat healthy. Sure, that might cut into your winnings a bit, but at the end of the day, what matters most is that you're getting healthier.

I used HealthyWage and it worked out great for me and my wife. We each put down $600 on our own goals - I wanted to lose 50 pounds in 6 months, and she was shooting for 60. It wasn't easy, but we stuck to our plans and got there in the end. After all the weigh-ins, we ended up making almost $3000 between us. Not bad for something that helped us get healthy!

The thing I liked best about HealthyWage was how straightforward it was. We just followed the instructions to submit videos of our weigh-ins, and the app kept track of our progress. It also let us connect with others who were doing the same thing, which helped keep us motivated. If you're serious about making a change and sticking to it, I highly recommend giving HealthyWage a try. It might not be right for everyone, but it was a great way for us to stay committed and see results. Just remember - don't bet more than you can afford to lose, and keep your eyes on the prize. Good luck, and happy betting!

HealthyWage My Experience with HealthyWage: Close but No Cigar - A Review

So, I gotta tell ya about my experience with HealthyWage. I tried it out and while I didn't exactly win, I definitely didn't lose either. Lemme break it down for ya. They gave me 18 months to lose 33 pounds, which seemed like a lot but I was determined. At first, I changed my diet big time and the weight flew off. But, as I got closer to the deadline, I wasn't hitting my goal. Luckily, HealthyWage offers this thing where you can extend your bet for six more months if you're close but not quite there. You gotta pay more for it, but it's worth a shot, right? So I tried it, and I started to lose again. I was still struggling a bit but I thought I had enough time. But then the deadline got closer and I was only five pounds away from my goal and I just couldn't seem to get those last pounds off. I was pretty bummed, but I decided to try the extension again. I thought six months would be plenty of time, but it was harder than I thought. I started exercising and trying new things like yoga and kickboxing and all that. But the more I worked out, the more muscle I was building and the weight on the scale actually started to go up. It wasn't fair! I was getting healthier but the number on the scale wasn't budging. And that's when I realized that this whole thing was only about weight loss. They didn't take into account all the other ways I was improving, like building muscle or getting stronger or feeling better overall. So I decided to let my bet time out and not win the money. It was bittersweet, but I was proud of myself for getting so close and feeling so much better. I mean, I'm fitting into smaller clothes and feeling great. So, if you're looking for some motivation to get healthier, I'd say give it a shot. But just know that it's all about the scale number and not all the other great things that come with getting healthier. Also, don't extend your bet more than once, it's not worth it. Overall, I didn't win any money, but I'm still glad I did it.

HealthyWage Betting on Myself: My Life-Changing Experience with HealthyWage!

So, let me tell you about my experience with HealthyWage. I had been on a weight loss journey for a while, shedding those extra pounds through diet and exercise. But then, I hit a roadblock - I couldn't seem to lose those last six kilos that would push me to a healthy BMI. And when lockdown hit, I slipped back to my old weight of 96 kg. That's when I knew I had to do something about it.

I stumbled upon HealthyWage and was intrigued - the idea of betting on myself to achieve my weight loss goals was exciting! I decided to bet ?600 that I would lose ten kilos, the lowest weight I'd been since my early twenties. Crazy, I know! But that's how much I believed in myself.

The best part about my HealthyWage journey has been the amazing community I found there. Everyone is there to support each other, cheer each other on, and offer a much-needed kick in the rear when we need it. It's like a family, united by our common goal.

The mini-challenges are fun, and they keep me on track, with my eyes on the scale and my step count increasing. And yes, the leaderboards can be competitive, but let's be real - everyone there is a winner in their own right.

The customer service is great - I've never had an issue that wasn't promptly addressed. And let me tell you, it's not a scam - I've seen people win real money, including myself!

But what I love most about HealthyWage is that it's ethical. You can change your bet within the first month, to give yourself time to evaluate your goals. And the yo-yo rule prevents people from winning money only to regain the weight and bet again, creating unhealthy dieting patterns. And if you're pregnant or seriously ill, you can pause the bet.

I was nervous when I made my initial bet, but now, two and a half months in, I've lost 14.5 kilos - almost 5 more than my original goal! I'm just half a kilo shy of hitting my dream weight and a healthy BMI.

Thanks to HealthyWage, I'm in the best shape of my life, and I've made so many amazing friends along the way. I've gained healthy dessert recipes and nifty weight lifting advice - a win-win, if you ask me.

All in all, I highly recommend HealthyWage - it's an incredible concept, brilliantly executed. And come Halloween, I'll have lots of money in my pocket, thanks to the bet I made on myself.

HealthyWage HealthyWage Review: Successful Weight Loss, but at What Cost?

My experience with HealthyWage was certainly a rollercoaster ride. Don't get me wrong, the program works - I successfully lost the weight I needed to and won a challenge, receiving a check for over $2,000 (minus the measly $7 mailing fee). It felt like a great accomplishment and I was excited to join another challenge to repeat my success.

Beware, however, of the fine print. I cannot stress enough how important it is to read through everything before committing. HealthyWage has a strict no refunds policy and if you choose an installment plan, you are taking out a loan. They don't cancel installment payments and hold you accountable for your weight loss goals. Sounds harsh, right? Well, that's because it is. Their pricing is based on actuarial models and they do not make exceptions.

Unfortunately, I learned this the hard way. One morning, I woke up to an email from HealthyWage notifying me that my challenge had been canceled due to my credit card expiring. I was given 24 hours to update my payment information or else my payments would become bad debt. The thing is, I didn't even have the chance to upload my updated card information before they canceled my challenge and told me that all future payments were due. And to make matters worse, this was the ONLY notice I received.

The email felt threatening and unnecessary. All I needed was a reminder to update my payment information, not a foreboding warning over bad debt. It left a sour taste in my mouth and made me doubt the integrity of HealthyWage. Yes, the program works, but at what cost to your sanity and wallet?

My advice is to tread carefully. Make sure you read through all the terms and conditions before committing to avoid any surprises. And when it comes to customer service, don't expect much. They have a strict policy and their customer service agents and supervisors are not authorized to make exceptions. It's a high-stakes game and unfortunately, sometimes, due to unnecessary threats and lack of communication, it just doesn't work out.

HealthyWage Bet on Yourself and Win Money with HealthyWage: My Life-Changing Review

Struggles with weight have been a constant in my life. I can still remember vividly the day I came running home from kindergarten, crying my eyes out, and telling my Nana that I was sad because I was fat. It's tough when your family has a history of being on the heavier side, which is why I'm so excited to tell you about HealthyWage (Yes, I know I sound official, but trust me, I'm pumped!).

Over the past year, many of my family members have started adopting healthier lifestyles, choosing what's truly good for our bodies over what we traditionally thought was healthy. It's been an eye-opening, transformative experience for everyone involved, and I'm glad to say that I've been spreading the good word about HealthyWage to my loved ones.

My own personal "aha!" moment came at the end of 2019, right in the middle of Christmas craziness. My husband and I were the primary caregivers to my 93-year-old grandpa with Lewy Body Dementia, which meant our first couple of years of marriage were anything but traditional. The holidays brought with them a whole new level of stress, and it was then that I realized I had been putting myself on the back burner for far too long.

I'd lost over 50 pounds 8 years ago and kept it off for 3 years, but then my self-care plummeted to the bottom of my to-do list. It wasn't until I was sitting in a leadership training seminar and making a list of all my roles in life (wife, teacher, granddaughter, etc.) that I realized I hadn't even included "self" as one of my roles. When the facilitator asked where I was on that list, I had a rude awakening - I had put myself dead last.

Fast forward to January 1st, 2020, and I vowed to start putting my health and well-being first. My goals were (and still are) to drink plenty of water every day, get at least 30 minutes of physical activity per day, and eat balanced, calorie-conscious meals. As I started shedding pounds and feeling healthier, I realized it was time to bet on myself - and that's when I found out about HealthyWage.

The concept was simple: I'd bet on myself to lose weight, and if I succeeded, I'd win money. The challenge was staying focused and sticking to my goals, but with the help of HealthyWage, I was able to stay motivated and keep my eye on the prize. I ended up winning close to $900, which was fantastic! When I hit my goal on weigh-in day, I'd lost 56 pounds total. Since then, I've lost even more - a whopping 69.4 pounds, to be exact.

I was able to cash out my winnings without any hassle: all I had to do was send in my weight with a video verification, and they mailed me my check in just a few days. Plus, I entered a monthly contest (all you have to do is post your before-and-after photos on social media for the month in which you complete your contest) and won an extra $500! I'm thrilled that I found HealthyWage - it's helped me stay accountable and motivated, and the payout was an amazing bonus. If you're ready to take control of your health, don't hesitate to bet on yourself with HealthyWage - it could change your life like it did mine!

Beware of this shady company - they are advertising heavily on TV, and I impulsively signed up. Huge mistake! They do not make their terms of service clear, nor do they explain the weigh-in verification process, prior to signing up. I sent a cancellation email within an hour or two of signing up, after finding out details that are NOT explained prior to signing up. They are refusing to refund the $50 I paid due to their terms of service (terms of disservice!). Plus they will continue to bill me. I will not sit still for this. I've opened a dispute with my credit card company and I will file a complaint with my state's consumer protection agency and the federal consumer protection agency. If none of those steps work, my attorney will step in on my behalf. After all, why not pay an attorney to get this company to clarify policies up front? Better than paying them month after month. Total scam, no matter what the company says about itself or its results - they are probably being deceptive on their stats, also.

HealthyWage HealthyWage Review: An Expensive Way to Stay Motivated

Initially, I was intrigued by the concept of HealthyWage. I decided to take the plunge and join the program. It turned out to be no joke, though. This program is meant for serious weight loss enthusiasts who are committed to achieving their fitness goals. If you join, brace yourself to work hard. You don't want to lose your hard-earned money.

HealthyWage offers challenges that are based on a prize pot. It means that the reward is shared equally among the winners after the company takes its share. I joined a pot that required an entry fee of $100. I must admit that I won, but the prize money was meager. I only got $12, and after I had deducted the PayPal fees, it was even less.

I participated in yet another pot challenge that paid out a paltry $8. It was disappointing to see that after all my efforts, I only ended up with a few bucks. I was aggravated by the online scammers who took advantage of my desire to get healthy. I would not recommend this program to anyone who is looking to make a quick buck.

True, being committed to such a challenge will help you lose weight. You don't want to lose your hard-earned cash, so this will motivate you to stick to your diet and exercise programs. However, it's not necessarily a healthy way to form habits. Plus, it's not very rewarding financially.

All in all, I must say that HealthyWage did not meet my expectations. Jillian Michaels, who is synonymous with fitness and wellness, supporting these scammers just adds insult to injury. It's just a shame that scam programs like HealthyWage exist to deceive the public.

HealthyWage HealthyWage Review: A Weight Loss Scam That Doesn't Pay Up

So I've got to share my experience with HealthyWage (healthywage.com) and it is not pretty. I put in 6 long months of trying to lose weight - which let's be real, is no easy feat. Finally, I reached my goal weight and was expecting to get a nice little monetary reward - $600 to be exact. But guess what? I got nada. Zilch. Zip.

I thought maybe I did something wrong, maybe I didn't provide enough proof or something. So I looked into it further and realized that this company is nothing but a scam! They refuse to give you what you rightfully earned. And don't even bother trying to talk about it on their community page, because they'll just delete your post and block you.

I was so angry and frustrated. I mean, who wouldn't be? I followed all the rules, did everything I was supposed to do, and yet they still didn't give me my money. It's just not right.

So here's the thing, if you're thinking of joining HealthyWage as a way to lose weight and make some extra cash, I'd advise you to think twice. Sure, it might seem like a great idea - but the reality is, you may never see a penny of that money. And with the amount of hard work and dedication it takes to lose weight, that's just unacceptable.

In the end, I learned my lesson the hard way. Don't trust companies like this with your hard earned money. Stick with something more reliable and trustworthy. And stay away from HealthyWage - unless you want to end up like me, still waiting for that cash that never came.

HealthyWage website is deemed to be popular and indicating that it receives a high volume of traffic. It is important to be cautious when using a highly trafficked website, as it may be a target for cybercriminals looking to exploit vulnerabilities or steal personal information.

However ComplaintsBoard has detected that:

  • While HealthyWage has a high level of trust, our investigation has revealed that the company's complaint resolution process is inadequate and ineffective. As a result, only 0% of 11 complaints are resolved. The support team may have poor customer service skills, lack of training, or not be well-equipped to handle customer complaints.
  • Website's registrar is popular among scammers, it means that a significant number of scammers have used that registrar to register domain names for their fraudulent websites. This can indicate that the registrar has lax verification processes, making it easier for scammers to register domains without providing accurate information.
  • HealthyWage protects their ownership data, a common and legal practice. However, from our perspective, this lack of transparency can impede trust and accountability, which are essential for establishing a credible and respected business entity.
  • We conducted a search on social media and found several negative reviews related to HealthyWage. These reviews may indicate issues with the company's products, services, or customer support. It is important to thoroughly research the company and its offerings before making any purchases to avoid any potential risks.

HealthyWage Mixed feelings about HealthyWage - a good motivator but with some drawbacks

Wow, let me tell you about my experience with HealthyWage. At first, I was skeptical about the whole concept- getting paid to lose weight? How is that even possible? But after doing some research and reading some success stories, I decided to give it a shot.

The sign-up process was super easy and didn't require me to sign a contract or anything like that. I just chose a challenge and made my first payment. However, what I didn't expect was that I would have to keep paying for the subscription even if I didn't weigh in or participate.

I tried to cancel my membership, but despite two emails, they continued to charge my card. It's frustrating because I feel like I'm just throwing money away every month. But, on the other hand, I do feel motivated to lose some weight now that I'm paying for it.

I have to admit, though, that there are some things that bother me about HealthyWage. For one, I think the subscription model is a little scammy. It seems like they're just trying to make money off people's insecurities and desire to lose weight. Also, I feel like there's a limit to how much you can realistically lose and get paid for- it's not like you're going to make a fortune from it.

All in all, though, I think HealthyWage can be a good motivator for people who need a little push to get healthy. It's not for everyone, but if you're willing to put in the work and can afford the subscription, it might be worth a shot. Just be aware that you'll be paying for it even if you don't use it, and don't expect to become a millionaire from it!

HealthyWage HealthyWage is a cruel and heartless company - A review

Wow, let me tell you about my experience with HealthyWage. First off, I gotta say they really got me with their weight loss challenge. I mean, who wouldn't want to make some extra cash while getting healthy, am I right? So, I signed up and everything seemed great at first. I was losing weight, feeling good, and had my eyes on the prize money.

But then, the worst happened. My family and I caught the Corona Virus and things took a turn for the worse. We live in New York, so you can imagine the financial burden of skyrocketing prices. I had to cancel my HealthyWage subscription, but somehow they managed to keep charging me $15.00 a month without permission since January 2021. And let me tell you, that money could have really helped my family during this tough time.

When I finally got through to someone at HealthyWage, they acted like it was no big deal and didn't even offer to refund me. They didn't even have a supervisor for me to talk to, which really rubbed me the wrong way. And to add insult to injury, they're planning on charging me five more times. I should have never agreed to this in the first place.

Listen, I lost all my weight through alternate fasting and it worked for me. So, my advice to you is to make a contract with yourself and put $15.00 in your savings account every month for 18 months. Don't give it to this heartless company who only cares about their profits, even during these unprecedented times where people are struggling. They don't care about anyone or anything except their bottom line. Trust me, HealthyWage is a cruel and heartless company that you should avoid at all costs.

HealthyWage HealthyWage Review: Total Scam Alert - Don't Waste Your Money Here!

Oh man, let me tell you about my experience with HealthyWage. I thought it was a good idea to join because I really wanted to lose some pounds and make some moolah at the same time. I paid $100 a month for 6 months and finally hit my goal weight. Guess what? They tried to make it almost impossible for me to get my winnings.

I did all the weigh-ins and procedures I was supposed to do but then they hit me with this email requiring even more steps and weigh-ins. All while I was on a business trip to Japan. I mean seriously? Give a girl a break, am I right? I tried so hard to come to a fair agreement but they were just not having it. They even threatened to take all my money if I didn't comply with their ridiculous demands.

At some point, I was so frustrated that I told them I just wanted my money back. But of course, they refused! I ended up losing $600 to those scammers. Can you believe it? I was so mad that I even considered taking legal action.

Don't even think about using this company unless you want to get ripped off. I learned my lesson and I hope you do too.

HealthyWage HealthyWage Fails Customers During Pandemic: Dissatisfied with Lack of Support

Man, let me tell you about my experience with HealthyWage. I signed up back in the day (you know, pre-pandemic) for a $100/month bet to lose some pounds. It was a great motivator and I was super pumped to work towards my goal. But then, bam! The pandemic hits and everything goes to [censored]. Gyms are closed, I'm losing wages, and I'm not even sure what life will look like in 5 months (which was my remaining bet timeframe).

So, naturally, I try to cancel my bet because, well, times are tough. But HealthyWage doesn't make it easy. No sir, they are not willing to work with their users during these trying times. I mean, seriously? Every other company out there (even Jimmy Johns, for heaven's sake) has sent out some sort of email with a clause to help out their customers during the financial hardships. But not HealthyWage.

And what really grinds my gears is that 22 MILLION Americans have lost their jobs because of this virus. That's not a small number, folks. Yet, HealthyWage seems to care more about their bottom line than their customers. It's honestly disappointing and shows a lack of humanity.

I was really excited about HealthyWage and the idea behind it. But their unwillingness to work with their users during tough times has left a bad taste in my mouth. It's a shame because I was planning on coming back when everything blows over. But now? I don't think so. HealthyWage needs to step up their game if they want to keep their current users and gain new ones.

HealthyWage HealthyWage: A Review of the Weight Loss Incentive Program

So, let's talk about HealthyWage. If you're looking to lose some weight AND make some money in the process, you might have stumbled upon this website. And let me tell you, my experience with them has been pretty rough.

First of all, they have these team challenges that you can join. The idea is pretty cool, you team up with other people and work together to lose weight. But if you're thinking about joining them, let me give you a little piece of advice: DON'T. Even if you meet all the criteria to be one of the top three winners, they might just pull some secret rule out of their hat and disqualify you. And if you've joined any challenges before, they'll use that against you. So, yeah, there's that.

Now, about the financial incentive they offer. Is it a good motivator? I don't know, maybe for some people it is. But personally, I don't think it's worth the stress. Losing weight should be about your own well-being, not about winning some prize on a website. And let me tell you, the amount of stress I got from losing their challenge because of some made-up reasons, it completely negated any health benefits I might have gotten from their challenges.

Oh, and let me tell you about this one time when my team and I were supposed to win a prize but didn't. Apparently, there was a mistake on their part, but of course, they wouldn't listen to me. They have this one person who does all the calculations, and that person has the final word. So, even if they mess up, you're the one who's screwed.

Honestly, I'm surprised they're still up and running. And even more surprised that they're featured on some popular channels. If you're looking for a good weight loss program, I suggest you look elsewhere. This one's not worth the trouble.

HealthyWage My Negative Experience with HealthyWage's Customer Service and Policies

So, let me tell you about my experience with HealthyWage. I was pretty excited to join this site and start challenging myself to lose weight. However, things didn't go quite as planned. I found out that I had a medical issue and my gym closed down, so I reached out to HealthyWage to see if they could cancel my challenge. I was hoping they would understand my situation and help me out, but that didn't seem to be the case.

At first, they didn't even bother to read my emails. When they finally did respond, they pushed my challenge back, which wasn't what I was asking for. I got really upset and frustrated with their customer service. I mean, this company claims to be all about encouraging healthy habits, but their reps know nothing about medical conditions and weight loss? That's not exactly reassuring. I had to escalate things and file a complaint with the BBB, which was a hassle and not something I wanted to do.

What really bothered me, though, was that HealthyWage never apologized or showed any empathy for my situation. They just kept insisting that they had worked with me extensively and had made an offer to me. But their offer wasn't anything that I would accept, and I feel like they didn't really listen to my concerns.

Overall, I wouldn't recommend HealthyWage to anyone based on my experience. If you want to try to lose weight and be healthy, there are other ways to motivate yourself that don't involve this company.

HealthyWage Disappointing Customer Support and Lack of Flexibility During Pandemic - HealthyWage Review

I gotta say, I'm super disappointed in HealthyWage right now. I mean, we're in the middle of a global pandemic and they're just like "peace out, figure it out yourself." When I reached out to them, the first thing they suggest is that I pay more money to extend my deadline? Are you kidding me?! Oh, and guess what, that extra cash doesn't even go towards my prize amount. And if I wanna pause for three months, any weight loss during that time doesn't even count towards my goal. Ugh.

To top it off, the VP of finance had the nerve to tell me the 25 pounds I lost so far "wasn't very much." Excuse me, but losing weight is hard work and I was pretty damn proud of myself. Thanks for the support, HealthWage.

And here's the real kicker. Companies are bending over backwards to help their customers during this crisis, but not HealthyWage. They just care about themselves. I thought this company was supposed to be here to support us in reaching our goals, but it's clear they only want our money.

I'm not taking this lying down. I'm gonna report them to the NYAG office and I suggest anyone else who's had a crap experience do the same. Apparently the NYAG office doesn't play around and has already made some companies cough up refunds. Let's get 'em.

Update: After a lot of complaining (and even writing this review), HealthyWage finally offered me a three month extension for free. It's ridiculous that it took so much effort to get them to do the right thing, but at least they finally did something. Just a heads up, it might take a while and some serious complaining to get them to cooperate.

HealthyWage Shady Business Practice: My Experience with Healthywage

So, my partner started this healthy wager thing and they sent me a link to join too. They said I could get an extra $140 if I signed up for a new challenge. Hell yeah, I thought - I'm always up for a challenge, especially when it comes with some cash money.

But then I paid my fees and noticed they didn't apply the prize boost we were promised. I mean, what the hell, man? We both reached out to Healthywage and tried to complain but they just said we weren't eligible because we'd done a challenge before. But they didn't say anything about that in the bonus link details, you know? So it felt pretty shady.

I was like, this is some kind of scam. They just wanted our money and now they're not even holding up their end of the deal. So I left a bad review on Sitejabber and guess what? Healthywage finally responded. They didn't want to listen to us before, but now that I'd told everyone how I felt they suddenly cared. They still wouldn't give us the full boost, though. I had to settle for a partial one.

And then they had the cheek to say our terms were unclear. Well, I call BS on that. They made it really hard for us to find out about the eligibility conditions. They should be clearer about these things and not send out emails to people who aren't eligible for the damn boosts. That's some shady business practice right there.

All in all, I'm not impressed with Healthywage. They need to up their game if they want to keep customers.
