For those that get these do you get one each month and enter them? I've been doing that for years now and I'm paid up for six years. I did the voucher each month because I was entitled and when they first started I had run ins about not getting one each month even though it says on them we are entitled to one voucher per month (if you qualify). Now I'm feeling a little silly being paid up for six years.
Comments?

You go girl!
I had the same battle several times with the staff, but I argued until I won the point. I actually made the staff explain their definition of the language on the voucher—of course, they couldn't come up with anything other than a monthly entitlement.
So don't feel silly. It is an accomplishment.
And I only argued the point because the misguded staff members thought they were saving the corporation money.

Congratulations - that’s a huge accomplishment!
I got zero pushback at my center when I was eligible every month. And I always put them into the system the same day I get one. A bird in the hand!
Plus if there is a problem inputting one, I find it’s much better to get it resolved right away.

I usually have to ask, in particular one receptionist forgets everytime. I enter that day because they messed up 6 months of vouchers which I did get resolved. 2 years of maintenance this month!

I also enter mine the same day I get them. And, based on recommendations here, I save all of the email confirmations I receive and also the vouchers themselves, in case there is a problem in the future with the WW system. I date the voucher cards because each one has a separate code.

I've been getting one every month since they first started issuing them, which was a few months after I regained my free Lifetime status. I'm now paid up until September 2024, so almost 6 1/2 years. I enter them as soon as I get them.
I had to argue about getting one only once or twice, but that was a couple of years ago. It's not silly at all. It's one of the things that keeps me checking in at a meeting below goal every month. If I remember correctly, WW was downgraded on some consumer type evaluations at some point for having a poor record of members who maintained their weight loss. This is one of the ways that they try to address that. They've always offered free meeting membership to Lifetime members below goal, and etools is really essential to the program now.
When Smartpoints started, I left WW tracking after a couple of months to track on MFP. I always said that when they started a new program that worked better for me, that I'd go back to WW tracking. I've now been back to WW tracking with Freestyle instead of MFP for two months. I'm glad that I maintained my free etools account for that reason also.

I've never had to ask for it at my center. And if you are entitled, take it! I don't always track in WW (I use MFP for the nutrient/sodium breakdown), but I know I have it!

I definitely asked for them and stacked them. That said, I saw a discussion back on the old boards that if you enter all of your vouchers when you get them, and then regain and want to pay for a monthly pass instead of paying a weekly fee to attend your meeting every week, that you lose all of the vouchers you enter. I have absolutely no idea if that is true, but it does sort of make sense. So I personally only entered them until I got about 18 months ahead and then just started saving them. And I did eventually have to go back and get a monthly pass, but I still have probably 10-15 vouchers to be entered that hopefully will work if I ever get back to goal or quit meetings.

I got pushback ONE TIME and looked her right in the eye and said, "I've EARNED it." It didn't happen again.
I don't stack them in, though - I have them dated with month received and months applied.

I was wondering how you used the etools if you were on lifetime. I know you don't have to pay for meetings, but didn't know if you had to pay to use the etools. There is no other way to figure points anymore, is there? I do know if you are only using the online program, that you can't make "lifetime" and get free meetings after goal. I'm guessing they don't give you etools free either.

I have absolutely no idea if that is true, but it does sort of make sense. Yep, absolutely true. It happened to me. I posted it on the old boards; don't know if anyone else experienced and/or posted it. There is no other way to figure points anymore, is there? Hand-held calculator plus the books containing food lists and restaurant menu lists with points. I'm guessing they don't give you etools free either. Nope. If the granted Lifetime and free eTools online, given that there is no way to verify things, many people not at goal would would record weight at goal so as to be Lifetime with free eTools. |

zazzles, Wow, so that really happens. Maybe I'll pass on entering them for a while so I have a stack to put in if I have to pay the fee. Thanks for all of the comments.

Judy, if you have a month where you're over goal and have to pay the weekly meeting fee, that doesn't affect your stacked vouchers and expiration date for eTools. It is only when you change plans from free eTools to Monthly Pass or WW Online that the accumulated eTools vouchers disappear. |
