Biketober: Join the Biking Challenge and Earn Rewards!

This Biketober, you can earn rewards by playing Bingo with a transportation twist! Starting October 21, 2025, you’ll have until the end of the month to complete five tiles in a row on your Biking Challenge Bingo card using the ConnectSmart app. New users will need to complete a Bingo on the Explorer Challenge Bingo card first.

How the Biking Challenge Works

After each biking trip taken in the ConnectSmart app, you’ll get to play a tile on your Biking Challenge card. This brings you one step closer to earning 5 reward Coins. Coins can be spent on gift cards, an Uber ride, or carpooling.

How to Play ✅

• Tap the 🏆 on the ConnectSmart app’s landing page.

• You’ll be taken to the Achievements page, where you can check out the Biking Challenge.

• Tap any Tile to read about the action associated with it (for example, “take a cycling trip”).

• After you’ve used ConnectSmart to take an action from your Challenge, you’ll get an invitation to play your next Tile.

• Simply double-tap any colored tile to play it or to learn about other Tiles.

• Keep using the app to complete your card and earn your rewards!
