For many years I’ve known about the rewards program through my health insurance provider and I’ve consistently made it a priority to jump through a couple hoops so I can reap those rewards. In reality it hasn’t been much of an inconvenience but just a way of life, and trust me, it’s paid off! If you’re not 100% sure about what I’m talking about I’m referring to a ‘Healthy Rewards Program’ that many health insurance companies offer to their primary insured/spouse, and children. They ask you to do certain tasks like get an annual physical (which is free), and similar tasks depending on your age, etc., many of them you can do online as they are just for educational purposes. These tasks are for our benefit in regard to our health but they come with an added bonus of financial rewards and gifts.
Is it close to the end of the calendar year? You may still have time to complete all of your tasks. Now’s the time to take advantage of your rewards program!
How to get started
First you need to log into your health care provider’s website (I highly recommend using a desktop computer, many website features are not available when viewed on a tablet or mobile phone). Once you’re all logged in and landed on the rewards program page just follow the prompts. You can now start saving and earning all at once for you and your family. Now that you can see the benefits of this, I encourage you to set an annual reminder in your phone to login and earn those rewards that are waiting for you. I hope you take advantage of this great opportunity!
I know a lot of people and many of them don’t take the time to do this but you’re different, and you will reap the rewards like I have for so many years. To date, I’ve earned $250 and I’ve been able to use the gift card to buy healthy foods at Aldi’s and select cool gifts from the rewards store.
