Earn prizes for taking an active role in your health

Be active.
Physical activity and lifestyle changes can greatly reduce the risk of cancer, heart disease, diabetes and other health conditions. That's why we created Blue Points, our physical activity and wellness incentive program available exclusively for members. Our Blue Points program gives you an easy way to track your physical activities and participation in wellness activities – and rewards you with great prizes!

Earn points.
Just 30 minutes a day of physical activity or participation in wellness activities earns you prizes like electronics, sports equipment, clothing and more!*

Work in the yard, play golf, walk the dog. Just keep moving with Blue Points. You can also earn points for participating in specific Online Healthy Living Programs and completing wellness activities like understanding your healthy cholesterol and Body Mass Index (BMI) levels.

Get free prizes.
All you have to do is record your activities in your Blue Points Activity Log. At least 30 minutes or more of physical activity a day or participation in a specific wellness activity earns you 10 points for that day.* Earn 250 points and select a prize from the first Blue Points prize level. There are four levels in all – B, L, U and E – each with great prize options. And, there are also special prizes for kids ages 6 - 12 through Blue Points for Kids.

Want to support the community?
When you earn enough points to win a Blue Points prize, you'll have the opportunity to donate it to a local community group.

*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.
