Even if it is just one point...it is ok because I did not have it before the spin.

It's rare for me to ever earn more than 5 points from the bonus wheel, but I personally like it. I work to get enough points each day so that I get the bonus wheel & then I let my kids take turns spinning it.
If you don't like it, don't use it.

like many others here, it motivates me to get my 25 points in. Then I try to earn as many points as I can to get the next trophy quicker. I know I can't "spend" it but I feel like I've accomplished something to keep me moving forward. emoticon

I never cease to try and understand the comments condemning this website. The wheel is yet another motivational tool, this whole sp gig is to try and help us become move physically fit. This wheel is not going to reward you dollars, its there to give u something better, MOTIVATIONAL INCENTIVE, to be all u can be. No one is asking you to like the wheel, if u don!t care for it don!t use it. I am however asking the readers of this, to please understand the purpose of this website, we are not in a contest to see whose better than who, we are however here to become a little more health aware. IF YOU JUST CAN!T GO WITHOUT NEGATIVITY, TRY CALLING !-800-cry baby, Yo emoticon

I kind of like it - don't like it, but wish I would get more than 2 or 3. Never understand why they don't have more points available on it.

Well, the wheel has been not very kind to me. I usually get between 2-5 generally. Once and awhile I get 10 but very RARE!!!! I am on this site atleast 4 times a week for about 30 minutes or so, I have read it is based on how much you are on this site. How much more do I have to be on here????

So, no I don't really care for the wheel.

It's not the size of the dog in the fight, but the fight in the dog!!!!!

I'm new here and just "getting" what the bonus wheel is all about. It took me a few times of getting the bonus spin to realize it was based on what I was doing on the site. That's a pretty good incentive for me:-)

I like it because it pushes me to make the 25 points so I can get the bonus spin. I rarely ever get high points on it but every little bit helps.

I always try and get as many Sparkpoints as I can and when I hit 25 or even 10 on the Bonus Wheel it really drives those points up. It is a fun thing as is all the SparkPeople features. I credit SparkPeople with keeping me at my goal. Thanks, SparkPeople By the way, I have been a member since 2007 or 2008. emoticon
