[SleepyMuse]

When will the the newer FitBit devices, like the Inspire HR, be linkable in the Walgreens app?

How are you doing @SleepyMuse? It will be a pleasure assist you with your inquiry. 

I have good news for you. You can link your Fitbit account with Walgreeens, in order to do so please check this article and follow the instructions.  

I'll be around if you need anything else.

Thank you for the response. The newer devices aren’t available options in the Walgreens App. Please see attached screenshot for the results displayed with the keyword, “FitBit”. There were 0 results with the keyword, “Inspire”. Walgreens app FitBit device options

That would be a question to ask Walgreen's not Fitbit. They are responsible for their website. 

Now that this is off my chest, it does not matter which device you choose. Walgreen's can not connect to your tracker and in reality doesn't care which tracker. 

What ever tracker you choose it still will connect your Walgreen's account to your Fitbit account, not your tracker. 

Now when connecting the two accounts. Simply choose any tracker, during the connection process Fitbit will report the tracker model to Walgreen and this reported model I found over rode the chosen tracker. 

Once connected setup up Walgreen's to monitor your Twitter account. Set up Fitbit to tweet everytime you sleep and for each sleep tweeted Walgreen's will award you Walgreen bucks.

I see nothing about tweets in Walgreens healthy rewards.

From Fitbit app compatibility page: Earn Balance® Rewards points just for doing everyday healthy activities by connecting your Walgreens and Fitbit accounts. You'll get 20 points for every mile you walk or run, 20 points for recording a daily weigh-in and 250 bonus points when you connect your accounts.

My Fitbit account is not syncing with Walgreens even after following these instructions.

[Rich_Laue]

That is because your looking at a page on Fitbit.. Unfortunately Fitbit is not the one who tells Walgreens what they are to do. 

If you want to find out more about Walgreens you really need to look at the Walgreen's site. See point 3Now if your having problems let's log into your Walgreens bonus account, on web or app, choose devices and then Fitbit. Your device may not be listed so randomly pick a device, then follow the prompts to connect your Fitbit account. 

This works because third parties do not connect to a Fitbit tracker but to a Fitbit account. 

If your still having problems then we need to contact Walgreens.

I just got off the phone with Walgreens--got nothing resolved.

They took a good site and upgraded it and now my fitbit tracker has stopped sync with their site!!

Come on  Walgreens.  You fixed something that was not broken.  What Up??

Go back to your original site.  It was great!

[Rich_Laue]

@maicaray I'm not sure what is broken and not syncing, or what the issue is, that needs resolving, or now that the Balance. Where you able to connect Walgreens to your fitbit account?

Note that the Reward Program has ended 

It looks like I missed the date and lost my balance reward points. 

[maicaray]

I know
I tried talking to Walgreens and the call was dropped
Don’t know how they messed this up
