I claimed my £15 back plus another £20, but Bounts stopped making any items available for purchase, so my 10,000 points I had accrued with a great deal of effort (probably about £50’s worth) was made valueless. Bounts started getting nasty, claiming all these bad people were trying to make money off them. Of course they were. Premium members were paying for the privilege and being pulled in by Bounts’ claim to “Earn up to £200 a year by just exercising”. All paid premium membership was effectively cancelled with no refund (I had about 9 months remaining).
They then changed the whole model, so that you used a few points (generally 25) to enter a draw, rarely for anything you wanted. As there are just a few draws each month, if you do any activity you accrue points way faster than you can ever use, so there is no incentive to exercise at all, which was supposedly the whole point of Bounts.
In short, this site/scheme is now completely redundant. RIP Bounts.
