How to claim S$100 into your ActiveSG account (video)

As some may already know, Singapore is asking its citizen to embrace a healthy lifestyle. As such, the Sports Singapore (formerly the Singapore Sports Council) has started an initiative, ActiveSG.

As quoted in their website FAQ: “.. ActiveSG is an all-encompassing and inclusive national movement for sport where all can experience the joy of living better through sport.

FYI, ActiveSG is officially launched on 26 April 2014 at Jurong West Sports Centre. Currently, Singapore Citizen and PR can apply the membership for free. And if you verify your account, you can get S$100 into your ewallet.

Here is the video to show you how to sign up.

What the video did not show you is the verification part, and in my opinion, the most troublesome. Once you sign up, you may be prompted to verify your account.

You can verify immediately or later, but please verify your account to get the S$100. When you press the “Verify my Account”, it will send you to ActiveSG website. You will need to log in. Once logged in, it will request you to log in to your Singpass ID to verify.

This is how it looks like after verification. On the left (of the picture below) is the ActiveSG website where I verify my link. On the right is the app on my Android phone that shows ActiveSG ewallet information.
