For every 1,000 steps walked, the app rewards the users with one LifeCoin, and for every 2,500 LifeCoins accumulated, users will receive a $50 gift card that can be used at the reward store to purchase goods. There is a maximum of 5 LifeCoins that can be acquired daily. For those looking to rack up LifeCoins more quickly, users can subscribe to the annual membership — $39.99 USD annually — that will allow them to [accumulate 10 LifeCoins per day](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/awardwallet) (or 10,000 steps which is very achievable for the average commuter). This means users can earn their gift card in 250 days rather than 500 days.
