A Simpler, More Flexible Way to Use Your BioBucks
We’ve made an important update to Quest Rewards—shaped directly by what we’ve heard from you.
Many of you shared a common frustration: earning rewards felt good, but using them wasn’t always easy—especially for those on subscriptions. So we took a step back, looked at the system as a whole, and asked a simple question:
How can this feel more natural?
This update is our answer.
What Are BioBucks?
BioBucks are our way of giving back—rewarding you for investing in your health journey with us. They function like cash back, applied directly to your future orders.
Now, they work in a way that reflects that intention more clearly.
What’s Changed
A true cash back model
You now earn BioBucks on every order—and you can use them right away. No thresholds. No waiting to hit 100 points. No coupon codes.
-
Use any amount you’d like
-
Apply them directly in checkout
-
Up to $20 off per order
Seamless use for subscriptions
Subscription customers can now apply BioBucks directly to upcoming renewals from within their account portal.
No extra steps. No workarounds. Just a smoother flow that supports how you already manage your routine.
Use BioBucks on one-time purchases, too
Subscribers can also apply their BioBucks at checkout on one-time orders—giving you flexibility as your needs shift.
Earning structure remains intentional
-
Subscriptions: 2x rewards ($1 back for every $10 spent)
-
One-time purchases: $1 back for every $20 spent
This reflects our continued commitment to supporting consistency—because daily habits shape long-term outcomes.
A small but important reminder
When checking out, make sure you’re logged into your account using the same email tied to your past orders. You’ll also see a reminder in checkout so you don’t miss any available BioBucks.
Your Existing BioBucks Are Still Yours
Every BioBuck you earned in the previous system has been fully carried over and converted into this new cash back format.
Nothing was lost in the transition. Your past commitment continues to support your future choices.
A Note on Referrals & Affiliates
We’ve removed the referral reward component of the program.
What we’ve seen over time is that sharing BiotiQuest often grows from a deeper place—practitioners, health coaches, and community leaders who are actively guiding others in their wellness journey.
For those who feel called to take on that role more intentionally, our affiliate program is open for applications at join.biotiquest.com. It’s designed for individuals who want to actively educate, share, and support others with our products in a more structured way.
Take a Look Inside Your Account
Your BioBucks are already there.
Log into your account, explore your balance, and apply them the next time you check out. It’s all built to work with you—quietly, seamlessly, in the background.
And as always, if you have questions or reflections, we’re here. These changes began with your feedback, and that conversation continues.

Martha began learning the science of agriculture, nutrition, environment, infectious disease, Parkinson’s
pathology and much more. In 2014, when the first research was published showing a connection between the gut
bacteria and the two phenotypes of Parkinson’s, Martha quit her former career as a business turnaround expert
and founded The BioCollective to accelerate the discovery of the impact of gut health on all human disease. Martha was a speaker at the White House 2016 Microbiome Initiative launch, challenging the scientific
community to “think in a broader context”. Her systems thinking background and experience has led to collaborations
across the scientific spectrum from neuroscience to engineering to infectious disease. She is a respected out of the
box problem solver in the microbiome field and brings a unique perspective to helping others understand the
connections from the soil to the food to our guts and our brains.
