Jaywalk - Walk, get money

by

Jaywalk is a new app that lets you earn discounts in your neighborhood just for walking or running. We built it because walking is the easiest way to stay healthy and walking for a coffee, sandwich, or even a drink is a great goal. This is the second version of the app and we're proud to share it with ProductHunt.

Looks like a great product and concept. Does this work in all cities or are you rolling out to specific cities?

@josephholguin @richard_svinkin does make sandwiches?

I love this idea. One quick suggestion: let me start earning coins and see which merchants are on the platform before I sign up. This way, I'll be invested and already see the benefit for me before you ask me to sign up. Hit me up to create an account when I want to redeem instead of before I get to see the carrot.

@raddevon thanks for the feedback!

@raddevon - To me it seems like a lot to ask to begin earning coins prior to signing up, but I def agree that it would be great to see which merchants have signed up before I create my account -- I might want to ask those merchants to join before signing up because I'd end up deleting the app if none of my favorite merchants sign up :/

@raddevon @jillbarletti I totally agree with you.

Let me know when there's an Android version! Reminds me of sweatcoin which I use but hopefully this will have more useful rewards.

@golear android next month thanks!

You get rewarded throughout the day for your steps in Jaycoins, which can be redeemed for dollars in a local establishment that accepts them. The catch? They expire at midnight. So go for a long walk and then get some free drinks, coffee, or snacks! What's not to like?

Pros:

I love that it rewards me for the walking and fitness activities I already do, and it inspires me to do more! It is surprisingly motivating!

Cons:

Waiting for them to get into more places. Business owners! This app will make me come check out your establishment. Get on there!

Love this idea. Now add making them redeemable in euros and get the Italian and Spanish coffee shops to join in 😉

From a philosophical point of view its a shame humanity has come to this. But I support healthy living so thumbs up.
