As part of its Healthier Habits initiative, Schnucks Markets Inc. is holding a communitywide steps challenge that lets eligible Schnucks Rewards members earn points and prizes for staying on the move.
Through April 30, participants in Missouri, Illinois, Indiana and Wisconsin (the four states in which the company operates) can earn $5 in Schnucks Rewards points each week by reaching the steps challenge goal of 50,000 steps per week, an average of just over 7,000 per day, according to a a news release. Schnucks Rewards members should download the FitLvl app, scan a QR (shown at right) and create a login using the phone number connected to their Schnucks Rewards account.
All participants will be entered to win Schnucks Rewards prizes. One person will receive $500 in Schnucks Rewards points, and five participants will win $100 in points.
“Schnucks is invested in promoting healthier choices to our customers, and this step challenge is a new way to do that by bringing together the community to build healthier habits,” Allison Primo, a registered dietitian, licensed dietitian and manager of health and wellness at Schnucks, said in the release. “We want to reward our customers for being active in April and support them in reaching their health goals when they shop at Schnucks.”
In addition, customers who sign up for the Healthier Habits program through the Schnucks Rewards app will earn double the rewards points on all dietitian-pick products April 3-16, the release said. Customers can look for the dietitian-pick "thumbs up" logo that appears on shelf tags in-store and in the product guide in the Schnucks Rewards app of more than 5,000 items.
These products include fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean meats and healthy fats while limiting nutrients like added sugar, saturated fat and sodium, according to Schnucks.
