Burn & Earn: Work out with CardioCast, earn up to 50% back.
Studies have shown that you’re more likely to commit to fitness if you have skin in the game. That’s why we created Burn & Earn. Our mission is to make getting fit and staying fit easier, more convenient, and more affordable. Here’s how Burn & Earn helps us do that.
What is Burn & Earn?
Burn & Earn is a program offered by CardioCast to incentivize members to exercise regularly. Invest in an annual subscription and each month, you can earn a prorated percentage of your annual subscription fee back in the form of Amazon.com Gift Cards (restrictions apply, see amazon.com/gc-legal).
How much can I earn back?
How much you earn depends on how much you paid for your annual subscription and how many full CardioCast classes you complete each month over the duration of your annual subscription. In total, you can earn up to 50% back. The monthly reward tiers look like this:
Complete at least 4 workouts in a month: earn 10% of the annual fee you paid divided by 12.
Complete at least 8 workouts in a month: earn 20% of the annual fee you paid divided by 12
Complete at least 20 workouts in a month: earn 50% of the annual fee you paid divided by 12.
Why monthly?
Potential earnings are split into monthly pieces and calculated on a monthly basis. We want to help you build a healthy workout habit and more frequent payouts are more effective at that than one lump sum at the end of the year. We want you to feel motivated ALL YEAR.
If you break the tiers down by the average workouts completed by week, it looks like this:
Do I have to work out every week to earn?
What if I work out more some weeks than others?
We want to reward consistent workout behavior, but we also understand that schedules are never perfect. That’s why we track workouts completed on a monthly basis. Meaning that we’ll tally up the total number of workouts completed each month and pay back rewards accordingly.
An example: You paid $89.99 for your annual subscription. You complete 3 workouts the first week of the month, 2 workouts the second week of the month, 5 workouts the third week of the month, and 3 workouts the fourth week of the month. With 13 workouts in the month, you’re in the 20% tier. $89.99/12 = $7.50 * 20% = $1.50. The next month you’re settling into your routine; you complete 4 workouts the first week, 6 workouts the second week, 5 workouts the third week, and 4 workouts the fourth week. Nice work! That’s 20 workouts and you’re in the 50% tier, earning $3.50 on this month’s Amazon.com Gift Card (restrictions apply, see amazon.com/gc-legal).
How are completed workouts tracked?
Completed workouts are tracked on a monthly basis by calendar month (as opposed to monthly by your billing date). Every time you complete the majority of a workout (75% or more and at least 15 minutes in length) in the CardioCast app, we’ll count it towards your monthly total. You can see how many workouts you’ve completed and how many you have left to hit the different rewards tiers for the month by viewing the Workout History screen of the app .
Who can join Burn & Earn?
Burn & Earn is available to all CardioCast members with a paid annual subscription, whether you’re on an in-app purchase billing or web-based billing. No opt-in is required to start tracking your workouts, but you must claim your rewards. Burn & Earn is NOT available to CardioCast members with a monthly or quarterly subscription. Burn & Earn is NOT available for gift subscription members.
When am I eligible to start Burn & Earn?
Burn & Earn starts as soon as you are a paying annual subscriber (excluding gift subscriptions). If you’re new to CardioCast, it starts when your trial ends, if you’re an existing subscriber, it starts when you upgrade to an annual membership. Burn & Earn is calculated on a monthly basis by calendar month. So if you finished your trial or became an annual subscriber on January 18th, for example, you would have the remaining 14 days of January to complete your Burn & Earn workouts for the month. For existing annual subscribers who joined CardioCast prior to the program starting, Burn & Earn started on January 1, 2021.
When do I get my reward?
Rewards are calculated at the end of each month and are sent during the subsequent month via Email. Reward emails and reward payments may be delayed by up to one reward cycle.
Must I claim my reward to receive it?
How do I claim my reward?
You must claim your reward via the reward email sent to the email address associated with your CardioCast account. Be sure to check your spam folder if you haven’t received an expected reward email. After claiming your reward, you will be sent a digital Amazon.com Gift Card (restrictions apply, see amazon.com/gc-legal), also to the email address associated with your CardioCast account.
Do all workouts count the same?
We count workouts longer than 15 minutes and every class type (indoor cycling, running, elliptical, etc.) equally.
Do multiple workouts in a day count?
Absolutely! You can do more than one workout per day. We trust that if you completed more than one workout in a day, you really did the work. That said, we do suggest you spread things out throughout the week. We want to build a habit, not cause an injury!
When exactly do workouts get counted as complete?
We count the day/time when a workout was completed (not when it was started) and mark the end of each month at midnight, Pacific Time. This won’t be an issue for most people, but for you late night exercisers (or those in Hawaii or Alaska) - keep this in mind if you’re working out close to midnight, Pacific Time, on the last day of the month!
What happens if the app crashes or otherwise fails to record a workout?
Our support team would be more than happy to help! Please reach out to support@cardiocast.app or contact us here.
How am I going to keep this going all year?
If you create a sustainable weekly workout plan and make it into any of the Burn & Earn payback tiers, you will certainly see positive gains in your fitness level, regardless of whether you make it to the top tier every month. Consistency is key. It’s also super hard. But knowing that there’s money on the table will help you to come back and work out every week.
You don’t have to do it alone, though! Check out our amazing CardioCast Member Community group on Facebook. There you’ll meet other members of the CardioCrew who are eager to share their stories and words of encouragement with you. You can also track your workout history in the CardioCast app and push your workout results to Apple Health or Google Fit to keep track of your fitness journey over time and sync your results to other fitness tracking apps.
