    Discovery Vitality 2022

    Year-end and time to check Vitality is at Diamond. Every year it's normally a done deal. This year it isn't. So I did a recon. 50,000 points to get to diamond 57,000 points for achieving MAX (not just a 'good' result) in Active and doing health checks (with perfect scores), dental and flu...

    Is Professional Provident Society (PPS) worthwhile?

    Well I just got told that an offer of "your premiums will be refunded to you" (verbatim from the underwriters letter) translates to me owing PPS money as they have since looked at what I've paid (totaling about R40,000) and what their costs and broker fees are and conclude that despite zero...

    Why PPS qualifying products rock

    Well I just got told that an offer of "your premiums will be refunded to you" (verbatim from the underwriters letter) translates to me owing PPS money as they have since looked at what I've paid (totaling about R40,000) and what their costs and broker fees are and conclude that despite zero...

    Discovery Insure "a year is too short a time to arrange delivery"

    R750 excess UNLESS you get a screen protector from TWT.... which is why this situation is ridiculous... because you CAN'T get a screen protector from TWT.

    Discovery Insure "a year is too short a time to arrange delivery"

    Hi All I am insured with discovery which includes my phone. Part of the offering is getting a screen protector from Tiger Wheel and Tyre whereby you don't pay excess on screen breakage. For about a year I have been trying to get said protector from the main TWT branch in Cape Town. Latest...

    Is Zasttra.com legit ?

    Zasttra is not legit. I order an item (cost R300) and which had a courier fee of R150. Well i've been waiting a week and i just received the tracking. Its being shipped from China and is going through the South African Post Office... so i highly doubt if it will ever arrive and if it does it...

    Discovery Vitality 2020

    Well lets see if that makes a difference. They will seriously need to discount rewards so that 1 miles is worth a lot more than 10c in order to make the R30 (or 300 miles) actually worth it.

    Discovery Vitality 2020

    Having skimmed this thread I can't be sure if the following has been raised? Assuming a Platinum Suite, the Discovery Miles benefit for credit card transactions will pay you back a MAXIMUM of R100 for a R15,000 spend (assuming you are on diamond vitality money). After that its a much lower...

    Discovery Card - Miles

    Anyone else having this problem (well I know there are some, possibly all)... Discovery have confirmed that use of Miles is currently not possible - it wasn't yesterday and it isn't today (for me). I'm told by Discovery that it should be fixed in a few days. Are they joking - a few days! Its...

    Which ISP do you use?

    I use Cool Ideas as they are reported to be the top ISP.... I moved from Vox who a few years ago also had that reputation. Now they are just plain awful (worst customer experience of any company that I can recall)

    Which Fiber ISP?

    .

    My experience is limited to Vox and Cool Ideas (CI). Having just moved to CI (from Vox), my local (speedtest priority server) ping went from about 30ms to about 0-1ms. So not only are CI faster, I don't have to deal with the bullshit and highly suspicious (fraudulent?) dealings of Vox. If you...
