    POPIA concerns around Woolworths' loyalty programme

    I fought with them over this before. Because with Discovery to keep your considerable HealthyFood cash back at Woolworths you MUST link MyDifference. Then must agree to program terms stating rewards communication is not marketing communication. I feel Discovery Vitality is complicit in this...

    Apple TV buffering

    Same here tonight. Cape Town, on Vox, Octotel fibre. Hasn’t improved over the past month when streaming movies.

    Discovery Vitality 2020

    Before: 1 point ~ R1; min R25, max R100. and after: 10 miles = R1; min R5, max R30 (+ 3 x R10 in instant rewards) I'm not sure why they still even have a "game board" when 90% of the board is worth between R5 and R9, I mean who actually cares what you pick; you're still only getting pennies...

    i don’t know why I thought saving up rewards points would get me something more worthwhile... I’ve got nearly 1000 points and the only big ticket options are netflorist or a spa visit. Occasionally I stack a few R100s off at Dischem. Is this literally only good for bottomless smoothies

    it's because of our strong desire to become public beta testers

    22seven does web scraping, so it will never work if there's just an app. It worked with old discovery card because they listed transaction history on the discovery.co.za site. But it was cheaper/quicker to build just a banking app and neglect building a proper online banking website.

    Peeve #3, as long as there is no web portal, then Discovery Bank isn't supported by 22seven, so my transactions/balances would go into a bit of a void.

    Two annoying things: The “scan your card to capture details” tool powered by card.io don’t work cos the card is friggen sideways (eg adding card to SnapScan). The OTP=123456 text doesn’t get picked up by iOS as a QuickType suggestion (used to offer to auto fill “From messages: 1234”)

    So frank question.. what's the best way to game the card spend points with the least weekly admin? because lets be honest, there's no actual "healthy banking behaviour" that's encouraged to get your rewards so I just want to get my extra weekly chance to claw back R25+. (without it costing me...

    Any idea what sort of behaviour the "Responsible Spending" money goal is meant to encourage? It looks like a logarithmic scale, i.e. if you spend less more frequently you accumulate points faster than if you spend on big ticket items. I feel like that encourages more frivolous spend. Or weird...

    SIP Account for Mobile

    Does anyone use the Vox SIP account package https://www.voxtelecom.co.za/sip-accounts? I get that it's just a SIP account, but they sell it as "mobile SIP" and refer to the "Mobile SIP Client" product which isn't really a thing. After I subscribed, the service was called "VOIP - SIP Voice 1"...
