It seemed too good to be true
by Stace

It seemed too good to be true, but now I can say it's 100% real. I lost 30 lbs, won my challenge, and got my winnings quickly. HealthyWage helped me stay focused on my weight loss goal. I'm very happy with my experience.

Initially, I gave this company a 2/5 rating.
by Madison

Initially, I gave this company a 2/5 rating. The main issue stemmed from their mini challenges, which are additional challenges you can participate in alongside your main HealthyWager challenge. These mini challenges often resulted in everyone meeting their goals, leading to minimal or no payoff. Even when there was a payoff, it was typically only a few dollars. To add insult to injury, to receive your money back, you had to pay a fee ranging from $2 plus 3% for a PayPal deposit to $7 for a check. This meant that sometimes, even if you won, you didn't get back the full amount you put in. Although they waive the $7 check fee once every 6 months, this policy felt unfair, especially if you won multiple mini challenges like I did. I maintained my stance that this policy was disappointing. However, my opinion has changed slightly because I successfully completed my main HealthyWager challenge. In the end, they delivered on their promise to motivate me to lose weight and rewarded me with a significant return on my investment. Despite the frustrations with the mini challenges and the fee policy, I feel satisfied with the outcome. I paid $180 per month for 6 months and am now receiving a check for $2200. This result, combined with achieving my weight loss goal, warrants a solid 4/5 stars. Key takeaway: Focus on the big HealthyWager challenge rather than the mini challenges. If you're committed to a substantial goal, the payoff can be substantial too.

I've been using HealthyWage for more than a year now
by Sarah

I've been using HealthyWage for more than a year now, and each time I send them a weight loss video, they seem to find something to nitpick. The first time, they said my feet weren't level, and now with my latest video, they're saying I didn't provide a side-by-side view as evidence. Instead of allowing me to send in a new video, they're insisting on a verification via Zoom. It's okay, but they've given me a specific timeframe for the meeting. I'm scheduling a Zoom call with them, but I have a feeling it won't be sufficient, and they might find a reason to withhold my money. Be cautious; it seems they might not hold up their end of the deal when it comes to payment.

I was prepared. I wagered more
by Anonymous

I was prepared. I wagered more than I needed to...I staked my vacation funds so if I lost, there'd be no Alaska cruise this summer. They set me up for success. I aimed to win the money so I utilized all their offerings! I placed smaller bets within my larger one to keep myself on track and not delay, I joined the Facebook group and actively participated in the in-app chat support. I discovered many new recipes, ways to stay motivated, and new habits to aim for. I've just signed up for another challenge to lose a bit more weight. I'm really glad that I FINALLY found something that worked for me! Thanks, Healthy Wage!

I gave Healthywage a shot when
by Anonymous

I gave Healthywage a shot when I aimed to shed some pounds, and I managed to clinch the jackpot. Fast forward to post-pregnancy, I decided to rejoin, only to be handed a reduced jackpot due to my higher weight. Seemed counterintuitive, considering my intention to shed those extra pounds. Their insistence on me either losing weight first or settling for a smaller prize struck me as nonsensical for a program supposedly designed to motivate weight loss.

Impressive. I'll be upfront, I harbored
by MArk

Impressive. I'll be upfront, I harbored concerns about potential deception, fearing a scam throughout. However, I submitted my weigh-in on Sunday, and to my surprise, by Wednesday night, I received a payment of $1400! The system allows you to set the payment amount, weight loss target, and timeframe, ensuring a minimum commitment of 6 months, steering away from quick-fix diets. The app installation is straightforward, and the instructions are easy to follow. The swift payout process left a positive mark on my experience.

I shot a video of my weight and reached
by stev

I shot a video of my weight and reached out to them, seeking approval before signing their binding contract. Their response? Insisting on my credit card details and contract signing upfront, rejecting the approval-first approach. Transparency issues arose as they failed to disclose their earnings despite boasting about payouts. Their presentation of potential winnings conveniently included what participants paid in – a subtle deception. In my scenario, the actual winning amount was a mere fraction of my investment. Their inclusion of "sucker group bets" added unnecessary risk, making the whole venture undesirable and perilous.

HealthyWage promised motivation
by Davey M

HealthyWage promised motivation and support for weight loss through their unique challenge, where participants bid money. Despite facing a significant setback with a broken foot and subsequent surgeries, I sought understanding from a representative named "Joe Smith." Disappointingly, their response lacked empathy and practical solutions. While they offered a limited extension, it fell short of the required time for recovery, and any hope of a refund was dismissed outright. Instead of aiding individuals in their wellness journey, HealthyWage appears to prioritize profit over genuine assistance, leaving a bitter taste of deception and exploitation. Caution is advised for those considering involvement with this company.

I enjoyed participating in challenges
by Mike

I enjoyed participating in challenges and receiving payouts for various tasks. However, my experience took a downturn when I invested in a 12-month challenge. Despite meeting the requirements with verified weigh-ins, the company arbitrarily rejected my efforts. The extensive review process added frustration, lacking transparency. It's disheartening to put in significant effort, achieve the goal, and have the company deny the payout without a clear explanation. The lack of a verification center and opaque payout calculations raise serious concerns about their fairness and integrity.

The concept seemed intriguing, but
by Preet Chawla

The concept seemed intriguing, but my experience with the company was bad. Upon signing up, I quickly discovered the monthly charges, prompting an immediate refund request. Unfortunately, they denied my request, insisting on retaining my payment. I believe in the right to opt-out swiftly, especially within minutes of signing up. Disappointing. I expected a more customer-friendly approach to cancellations and refunds.

I utilized Healthywage to shed pounds
by Broth

I utilized Healthywage to shed pounds successfully in the past, clinching a jackpot. However, upon attempting to rejoin post-pregnancy, I faced disappointment. They proposed a reduced jackpot due to my increased weight. This contradicts the purpose of my rejoining. Their insistence on returning to my prior weight before signing up again or settling for a smaller prize seems counterintuitive for a platform meant to motivate weight loss.

by David Scott

The concept seems intriguing, but my experience with the company was disappointing. After signing up, I discovered they charge a monthly fee, prompting me to request a prompt refund. Unfortunately, my request was denied. It's frustrating that I had to go through this process mere minutes after signing up. I believe customers should have the right to cancel and receive a refund, especially when their dissatisfaction is expressed promptly.

HealthyWage has been a game-changer for me! I not only reached my weight loss goal, shedding 40 pounds, but I also won a substantial amount. Initially skeptical, I can now vouch that this is no scam. The company's unique approach to incentivizing weight loss is both effective and rewarding. My success has inspired friends and family to join in. Kudos to HealthyWage for making the journey to a healthier lifestyle exciting and financially motivating!
