Blue Extras

Our incentive program for physical and wellness activities is changing!

Beginning January 1, 2009, Blue Points will feature more ways to earn points and encourage healthy habits for members, plus new prizes and incentives.

Our current prizes will be going away, so members will need to act soon to redeem their points.

PLEASE NOTE:
  • Members have until December 31st to log points to earn current prizes
  • Points for current prizes must be redeemed by December 31st
  • Current points will not carry over on January 1st

Earn prizes for taking an active role in your health

Physical activity can help reduce the risk of cancer, heart disease, diabetes and other health conditions. That's why we created Blue PointsSM, our physical activity and wellness incentive program available exclusively for members.

Just 30 minutes a day of physical activity or participation in wellness activities earns points toward prizes like electronics, sports equipment, clothing and more!* Collect points and select prizes from our four Blue Points prize levels (B, L, U, and E). Special prizes are available for children ages 6 - 12 through Blue Points for KidsSM.

*Participants in Blue Points or Blue Points for Kids can record only 10 points a day for either 30 minutes of physical activity or for completing a specific wellness activity, but not for both on the same day.

"With the Blue Points program you exercise, you get points, you get prizes. As a result of this I have lowered my cholesterol, I've lowered my blood pressure, and I've lowered my weight."
