Got another HL payment of R109, but I spend min R600 healthy care at dischem with 43% rate so it should be much more. I Did log a query so i should hear back in the next month or so lol

I think I'm reaching my tolerance threshold of jumping through Discovery hoops to fill rings. When I was doing tricks for Health points, I could justify that it was a win-win with me getting more exercise, but the ones on the Money side break that illusion. Now I have to do a whole lot more pointless tasks to maintain multiple categories of statuses, for what seems like significantly less value back.

Even if I don't end up moving, at least it's giving me motivation to re-evaluate the competition.

New update after a long time on iOS and Android

• You can download your account transactions to a CSV file or excel spreadsheet and send it to your secure email address.
• You can view scheduled payments linked to your beneficiaries.
• We have introduced lazy-loading, which allows you to scroll through your ‘transactions’ page to see more transactions.
• General bug fixes and other minor enhancements.

Has anyone else noticed how the discovery miles earning rate changes from the 20th of the month until end of month? I am on Gold Money Status so the earning rate is R40 = 1 mile. Since Saturday i've been earning R100 = 1 mile (which is equivalent to blue money status). I logged a call in January with the exact same issue and I see it hasnt been resolved.

This has to do with the fact that for each type (colour) account, there is a threshold for earning miles on expenditures. I’m on Platinum and think I am capped at R15000 per month before the earning rate falls to 1 mile per R100. I considered going for a black account, but the increase in monthly costs does not add up to the higher cap on expenses to earn miles. Cleaver bunch, I must say.

You can go over cap and still earn at base rate with small trick but can only do it once a month.

Does Spot have a monthly top-up limit? I am aware of the threshold valve being R30 000 monthly limit. However it seems that I can't top-up more than 30 times a month?

How? I find it particularly annoying with this cap. I usually stop spending on the card once it hits that cap amount.
Your last swipe before you go over the cap always gets the full amount. So before I reach my cap I do massive swipe and that swipe still get me full amount of miles. Only really work with fake spend generated to make it worth while I guess.

Discovery Bank, is anyone having issues with the 1.1.7 version on Android? Keep getting a x24 error, tried using 1.1.4 but the backend detects that version is to old.
