Payment need not be of monetary value; whilst some ‘detriment’ on behalf of the promisee is required, the detriment can take the form of giving something up, for example, stopping smoking. The promisor need not receive any tangible part, so a promisee made by the offeror to pay an overweight associate a sum of money upon losing a specified amount of weight would be enforceable.
