The complaint about virgin pulse was not resolved! I was told it would take **** business days for the money to be refunded. I cancelled the order on Jan.13. Then I was told the refund process started on Jan.17. We are getting the run around and the refund date being moved up each time I talk to virgin pulse! Virgin pulse took our money the day we placed the order but the item was never shipped nor did we get any kind of explanation why the item wasnt shipped until I contacted virgin pulse! It took another week for virgin pulse to tell me the item is on back order! I need my money back so I can purchase the item somewhere else! This business transaction has been going on since December *******. I will contact *************** industries also about this matter!

On January 10, 2023 I reported that my Virgin Pulse app that provides health/wellness services and incentive rewards through my employer was not syncing up to my account profile based on certain activities that I was completing through third party providers (GI Thrive and ************** I have asked for resolution of this problem and have not heard back from customer support for one week now (1/19/23). I have also asked for replenishment of my rewards points and I have shown proof of completed activities so that rewards that I have earned can be added to my account and was told that they "might be able to get me those points" even though I completed the tasks and am entitled to those rewards as screenshots of proof were provided multiple times. This is not specifically a mobile issue, as the same happens when I log in to a desktop computer. In addition, ReThink used to be a functioning app. I just want to keep participating in this program to not only keep earning awards, but also continue to reinforce health and wellness habits. Each day with no response is a day that I am losing out. I am not receiving the goods and services promised for the activities I am completing which is libel.Business Response

These issues have been outstanding/ongoing now for 21 days without timely communication and a plan to correct. I only hear confirmation that there is an issue, and for a tech company with a product that relies on daily use, this is unacceptable. The missing rewards for activities completed have not been added to my account, therefore your program is fraudulent. I expect a timeline from you with 1) what the issue is, 2) what is being done to remedy, 3) when can I expect services to be restored and 4) when will my missing rewards be added to my account. I also expect to receive additional rewards for my suffering and inability to access rewards and wellness services due to product connectivity issues which has inhibited my goals to become healthy using your third party vendors. Please reply by COB tomorrow, February 1, 2023.

On 29 Dec 2022, I placed an order (Order #: *******) for a Smart Watch using a combination of earned points totaling $75, a $60 device subsidy which is provided one time, and credit card payment in the amount of $204.87. The subsidy and points were removed from my account and my credit card was charged. After several weeks, there was never any status update on the order in my online account, so I began calling and opening tickets with the Virgin Pulse support. Everyone I communicated with told me they had "escalated this to the Orders Team and the order would be arriving within the week". Each week went by without any update on the order and no item was sent. Eventually, I decided the best course of action was to cancel the order. Again, I was told this had to be handled by the Orders Team and would not be able to be cancelled that day. As of 26 January, 2023 I still see no status update on the online account since the order was first placed, and I have received no communication from the company. At no time have I had any evidence that someone at Virgin Pulse was taking any action on this issue. At this point, I would like the full amount of the watch returned to my credit card (including the $75 in points and $60 subsidy, since I have no intention of making future purchases through this company). I can provide numerous ticket numbers from our communication as needed.Business Response

I've been trying to get support for my Max **** for months. The customer service people rarely get back to me in a timely manner. When they do they want me to do trouble shooting I've done three or more times. The max **** will not sync and I cannot record my steps or progress. Since the executive team hide themselves from contact the customer service people know we have no one in authority to complain to. The ** people have a very arrogant and condescending attitude whenever I do finally reach them.i had my company IT department do a diagnostic to see if it was something on their end. Everything is working properly. When I informed the last ** rep I spoke with he just said I was going to have to wait until Virgin pulse gets back to me. It's now Friday so it will be another week of no results and no solution. As I said it's been months for the same issue. Virgin pulse is will only talk to perspective new customers once the sale is made good luck getting any real customer supportBusiness Response

On 12/15/2022 I ordered a Max **** from Virgin Pulse $31.43 under order number *******. I received an email stating I would receive the product with 7 to 10 business days. As of today 1/5/2023, I have not received the product. I called customer service on 1/4/2023 and was told that they could not authorize a refund it would go to another department. I was given ticket number *******. Today I called and the rep stated this is handled by another department that don't take direct calls. I was told my refund would take 7 to 10 days and I was given another ticket number *******. All I want is my money back because the product is lost in transit.

We have gone through a biometric screening through and employer on February 14th Designed wellness. You can earn Amazon gift cards in the hundreds from Virgin Pulse supposedly for the screening and this company is unavailable by phone and they string you along through emails. Their emails claim the ticket has been processed but you need to call in but they never pick up no matter what time of day. Weve been going back and forth for weeks now and have spent countless hours on numerous days on hold. Today is our last day to claim and Ive been on hold for 40 minutes now. Its a total scam and needs to be dealt with.Business Response

My company requires us to use Virgin Pulse software in order to obtain health insurance benefits. Part of this requires the use of a step tracking ******. I was using a tracker called a ***** bought directly from Virgin Pulse. In July my tracker stopped syncing steps with the app. I did not realize this until some time later. I found out that they did a software update in July and in my opinion, this is what caused my tracker to stop syncing. I have tried working on this with their support people but they have stopped responding and have offered no successful remedies of any kind. In fact, by trying to update the firmware on my ****** following the instructions on their site exactly, my Max ****** has now be rendered completely inoperable and just displays a message saying "Update failed resume firmware". The best answer they had was for me to use a step tracking app on a phone. First, I bought and paid for the tracking ****** I got from them in good faith that it would work with their app. Second, I am unable to carry my phone at all times and am therefore not tracking all the steps I take. As part of this program, points are awarded for activities (including reaching certain step goals) and money is applied to an HSA account as a reward for reaching certain goals. The fact that I'm no longer able to track steps is causing me financial harm by preventing me from receiving these HSA benefits since I'm unable to reach further goals due to point requirements.Business Response
