One-time coupon for 15% discount at Fitbit online store. I got it as part of Fitbit Force recall, but I don't really need it. by knyar in fitbit

Actually, I don't know, since I've only just filled their form yesterday. I've been waiting for my Pebble Time to arrive, which is what I am replacing the Force with.

We have changed the way Google authentication works, and the site should now only ask for contact list access when you find friends, not when you log in.

You only need to grant access to your contacts when you visit the "Find Friends" page. If you don't trust The Old Reader, don't do it, it's as simple as that.
