Frequently asked questions

Here's what Vitality members have been asking

What activities can I track with an Apple Watch to earn Vitality activity points?

You can use Apple Watch to track your steps and heart rate. Take a look at our ‘Track and sync steps with Apple Watch’ and ‘Track and sync heart rate workouts with Apple Watch’ guides to start earning activity points with the Vitality Member app and Apple Watch.

What's the difference between Apple Health, Apple Watch and the Vitality Member app?

To earn Vitality activity points, you need to use the Apple Health app on your iPhone. 

It can take step data from your iPhone (if you're using an iPhone 5s or later) or steps and heart rate workouts from your Apple Watch.

The Vitality Member app, as well as giving you easy access to your Vitality Plan Points statement, Vitality Age and Active Rewards if your plan is eligible, is also able to take some data from Apple Health and use that to award Vitality activity points for your workouts.

Where can I see my Vitality activity points

You can see how many activity points you’ve earned on your Vitality Points Statement on our Member Zone or in the Vitality Member app. Once you’re eligible to start earning Vitality contributions towards your variable Direct Debit, you'll also be able to track your activity points on the sidebar on the Apple Watch page.
