Earn S$48 Vouchers Every Month With 10,000 Steps With National Steps Challenge, AIA Vitality, and ManulifeMove
In 3 days, the National Steps Challenge would be back with Season 4 till 30 April 2019.
I have always wanted to join the National Steps Challenge because I have been clocking 10,000 steps almost every day with my AIA Vitality for more than a year ANYWAY.
So why not kill two birds with one stone by achieving both goals and receive spending vouchers from both sides, am I right?
If you would like to be rewarded by just walking around or keeping fit, THIS ONE’S FOR YOU!
