Syncing Fitness Tracker with AARP Now to earn Rewards points
I see that you can sync your fitness tracker to the AARP Now app and earn Rewards points for hitting fitness milestones. However when you drill down to the instructions it says you need v3.20 of the AARP Now app to sync the fitness tracker, yet my Apple App Store only has v3.19. I have AARP support looking into this but wondering if anyone else has been able to find v3.20 and/or sync their fitness tracker (specifically Apple Health on the iPhone).

First time I knew the iphone was tracking my steps since I first bought it a few years ago! Only problem is, the health app has a few hundred entries for each day. I have no idea why it breaks it up that way.
I did find a free app that will let you export the data to the numbers app or Excel. It is called QS Access. Only problem is it will export the whole table of data in your health app, but you can limit it to steps. Use Air Drop to move it to a MacbBook for easier manipulation, so you can copy the current day, previous day or whatever to its own spreadsheet and add a sum formula to see what your total number of steps are for the day.

Russell, at the bottom of the health app screen, you should see 4 options ... Health Data, Today, Sources, and Medical Data. Click on Today. This should take you to a screen that shows a consolidated total of all steps for the day. If you then click on steps, there is the option for "show all data" which is the screen you are seeing with the hundreds of entries for the day. Click the "back" button in upper left to go back to the consolidated totals screen.

Thanks. I looked for the app but i couldn't find it. I was accessing the data through the settings screen. Found the app tucked away in a group called entertainment! That's much easier. Now I need to get back outside. I am about 600 steps short!

I just succeeded!
So, I downloaded the new App, relogged in and selected the AARP card on the bottom right corner. This time AARP rewards was listed right in the middle of the screen. .... and I clicked on it and from there it allowed me to choose my tracker (apple health) and it synched up nearly immedately.
I hope this helps!

@ds44805353 You should log out and back in again if you are not seeing it.

I completed over 10,000 steps yesterday and linked my fitbit to AARP on the same day. It shows I have a liked device after clicking on "manage your fitbit >" found on the earn page. I hope to try to get 10,000 steps again today, but, I can't be sure that I will be able to test it.
Has anyone gotten fitbit points?
Thanks!

@andrewtoo Yes we are seeing users earning the ftitness bonus from Fitbit. Hopefully, you will see them tomorrow if not let me know so we can help sort it out for you.

I updated the AARP Now app on my iPhone as the 3.2 version was now available and needed updating. Still no sync up. After reading over this topic, I finally deleted my newly updated app and reinstalled it, requiring a log in with password. That seemed to do the trick for me and I received bonus points for downloading the app!
Now to see if I earn any points for my steps, but that requires taking a few more than I did yesterday. Does anyone know if other activies are combined or do you have to meet a specific number of steps or specific number of cycling miles to gain reward points???

I don't know if this topic is only about apple product syncing, but, I didn't see anything about syncing a fitbit. It seemed to sync, but, I had already met the 10,000 bonus level and I haven't seen any points for it in my transaction history yet. I'll try to be patient, though, it is the first day.
Will tracker points be exempt from the daily point limit, as it was in rewards for good?
Thanks so much,

@JonathanM243209 Make sure your fitness tracker is still connected -- head to the Earn page (http://www.aarp.org/rewards/earn), hit the “Add a fitness tracker” link and select a fitness tracker from the pop-up menu. Then, you’ll need to separately go into its app and give it permission to share data with AARP Rewards. If it's already properly connected, let me know how many days you are missing points for, and I can make that adjustment.

see that i am Not the only one with this issue. The app has been linked and Fitbit has accepted the link, yet nothing until 2 days ago - GREAT
However someone promised to add the missing points, but never did. From December 19th until January 7, about 19 days of missing 150 points

@JonathanM243209 I've added the missing points from December 19th- January 5th. The other points have been properly recorded until today.
