Everything I redeemed using my Ness credit card points

I have now been a Ness card holder for 2+ months! Here’s everything I redeemed my Ness points for so far (spoiler alert: it’s more than the $349 annual fee I paid).

$100 gift card to Hoka

I got these Bondi 8 sneakers ($165) for $65 after applying my $100 gift card. Plus, I earned 5x points on that $65 since Hoka is considered a healthy merchant – yay! These have become my favorite shoes for long runs so I’ll definitely be redeeming more Hoka gift cards soon. Plus I just love this color šŸ™‚ These points were earned through purchases + the daily healthy activity bonuses.

$50 gift card to Bombas

I didn’t take a pic of these but I picked up an 8-pack of my favorite Bombas socks (originally $100.80)! With a discount code and my $50 gift card, I ended up paying just $30.64. The points I used to redeem this reward were earned by purchases and the healthy daily activity bonuses.

$100 gift card to Tracksmith

I was waiting to see if Tracksmith would have a sale around Memorial Day to maximize my gift card but they did not šŸ™ So I just bought 2 of their Run Bras ($58 each) because everyone seems to love them. They did not disappoint, and I ended up only paying $26 after using my gift card. I think my next Tracksmith purchase will be their rain jacket!

I was able to afford this reward with the points earned from regular spending/daily healthy activity.

Jade Travel Yoga Mat

This is was an item reward, meaning they sent me the item itself rather than store credit to buy it. I got the Jade Yoga Travel Mat in Olive (originally $69.95) so that I can continue my practice when I travel.

When I redeemed this reward, I had to fill out a form with my information, the color mat I wanted, and my shipping address. I got an email from Ness customer support shortly after letting me know that my yoga mat would be shipped out soon and that a tracking code would be provided.

Unfortunately it came 1 day after I left for my trip to Porto this summer so I haven’t tested packing it in my suitcase, but I did use it when I visited home and it was very light weight!

It’s super thin so don’t expect any padding but it’s very grippy and provided a good enough space for my yoga practice. After receiving my item, I got another email from Ness support asking me to confirm that I received my package.

$150 gift card to On Running

I was so excited when Ness added this as a reward option! I’ve been dying to try On sneakers to see if they’re as good (or better) than my tried and true Hokas. I decided to buy the Cloudflyer 4’s in blue (originally $169.99) – and only paid $19.99.

Sadly, they are not true to size and my toes felt super cramped in my usual W6.5 so I took it to the store to exchange. They didn’t have any 7’s in stock so I asked for a refund instead. I’ll try to buy them again once the refund processes! Bonus: I’ll get points on the full $169.99 but technically still only pay $19.99 all in all šŸ™ƒ.

*note* I was only able to afford this reward because of the new cardholder spending bonus (bonus 50k points for spending $6000 in your first 3 months)

$318 for a Bathhouse experience

I might be most excited for this one since it’s my largest reward redemption yet! Although this is a monetary reward, I had to fill out a form like I did with the Jade Yoga Mat reward to redeem it. Shortly after, I received an email from a Ness support member with the details of my gift card.

I booked a couples massage at A Bathhouse in Williamsburg that costs $340 but payment is due upon arrival at the spa so I haven’t actually used my reward yet. Hopefully there are no hitches in applying my $318 credit! Stay tuned.

summary

Overall, I’m really happy with what I’ve been able to redeem so far, especially with the points I earned from regular spending and daily healthy activity. It’s pretty easy to earn 5x points on purchases if you’re a generally health-conscious person. I’ve definitely surpassed the value of the annual fee – and if you sign up now with this Plus one link, your annual fee for the first year is only $99 instead of $349! (I wish I had gotten this deal lol).
