48 hours icon

Please note

In high demand periods, it can take up to 48 hours to sync your Fitbit data to the Vitality Member app and for your Vitality activity points to appear on the Vitality Plan Points Statement. We ask you not to close and open the apps again until the 48 hours have passed, as refreshing multiple times can overload your account and stop the data coming through. If you then close and open your Vitality Member app again after this period, your points will be showing on your statement. For any difficulties with syncing points, please view our troubleshooting guide.
