Quick q , normally I pay my easi pay municipality account at pick n pay every month,a full amount I owe. If I were to go to pick n pay and instead of paying the full amount just ask them to pay X amount several times a week ,or do I have to pay the full amount at rh teller?

No you don’t have to pay the full amount. Easiest is get a Masterpass app or EasyPay app and pay small amounts from your phone.

Now my health goal is stuck. Seems like they take turns.

Mine too. Thursday was the last time mine updated.

Question with the ’Savings to diamond’. (I’m on gold now)

Not sure if I’m doing something wrong, but every time I transfer the specified amount into my Vitality Savings account from the transactional account, that number increases? (Previously when I transferred to the vitality savings account that number went down.)

For example my ‘Savings to diamond’ was around R1.5k today, I then transferred 8K into my vitality savings account from my transactional account... however my ‘Savings to diamond’ then INCREASED to around R3.5k...... I was confused... so I then did another transfer for that exact amount into my vitality savings from my transactional account of the around R3.5k as it requested.....but again my ’Savings to diamond’ increased now to around R5k?!?!

Am I doing something wrong, or is something wrong on discovery Banks side?

appreciate the clarity

In order to achieve a Diamond status, you need to be on Gold status and have a certain amount of savings in your Discovery Bank accounts. The amount of savings you need to have in the account depends on your annual income:

Your annual income	Savings you need for Diamond status
Less than R350 000	R20 000
Between R350 000 and R850 000	R45 000
More than R850 000	R100 000

Ah thank you. I think there was an earlier error in my savings to diamond number Which caused my confusion.
The number it’s giving me now in conjunction with the current savings adds up to the above.

Thanks

Did anyone else get a fuel reward from the bank on the 12th/13th that makes no sense?

I got R11, seems to be a fix of a previous underpayment. At a 15% rewards level this is R73.33 worth of fuel purchased ( must be at least 15 years ago when I last put in such a small amount).

Yes, also got R11

But getting them to explain that amount is going to be such a mission

I got R55 back.

Seems to be a fix for September (cash back received mid October). Was on 11% reward level while total fuel spend > R1000. Should have gotten R110 but only got R99. So the R11 must be the correction.

I got R46, have no idea why,unless it's a fix for September but my September was correct if I remember.
I should have got R60 for Oct and then R60 for Nov (I get 6% cash back for spend of R1000 so how did they get R46? I'll phone them next week but I can see their answer" there is a delay in payment"

If anyone is interested I’m buying discovery miles at 11.5 miles per rand. A better rate than what discovery is offering.

Discovery miles | Virtual Currency Trades

Coin\Currency: Discovery Miles Amount: Any Current Market Value: R1 for every 12 miles Price: R1 for every 11.5 miles I think you gotta be with discovery bank to transfer the miles. FYI -------- For your and my protection please read our guide to safe dealing: Guide for safe dealing on...

I managed to downgrade, and I can see on the app that the card changed color, but I haven't gotten a message to pick up my new card...

the app gave me the option to have the card picked up or delivered. Chose to pick it up cause the couriers are quite useless.

No you don’t have to pay the full amount. Easiest is get a Masterpass app or EasyPay app and pay small amounts from your phone.

Thanks I did my first payment, R100 and got my one point for transaction towards my weekly goal, waited an hour did another transaction for R50 payment was successful but I never got my next 1 point for the transaction? Been a few hours (the payment was successful and got the SMS etc)

Money goal seems to be stuck again, your point should come through when they fix it. No need to wait an hour between transactions...

Almost got a heart attack from a delayed transaction that was made on the 11th of this month but I only get the notification now. Did anyone else get a delayed notification?

Has anyone ever managed to cancel their banking facility(Standalone transnational account) and starting from scratch again with a banking suite? I am getting mixed messages from discovery. I dont know if some are trying to scare me to not cancel.
