Do you get exercise credit with Fitbit? Do 10,000 steps earn any extra calories?

    Yes. You get a calorie adjustment based on how many calories you're estimated to burn in a day; this number updates throughout the day as Fitbit and MFP sync. You can get a calorie adjustment well before 10k steps, too - nothing magic about that particular number. I just got a Charge 2 a few weeks ago, and love it so far (I had a Jawbone 3 before switching to the Fitbit).
