Discovery Bank

riddler said:
I was also hesitant about joining Discovery Bank, but after seeing this latest offer of vitality points to miles I decided to open up an account. I went for the platinum cc account, not sure if I should have just taking gold. Will see how it works out.
Now to figure out how to move up from blue Vitality Money status - any tips from current account holders? My goals don't seem to want to load.

I've been wanting to downgrade from.platinum to Gold as the fees don't justify it, I think you need to deposit a certain amount into their free savings account ( i think it was R2000) can't remember, this will unlock your weekly goals, and then have a look at your goals when it appears, I had to eventually deposit R45000 to get do diamond status and mett their financial goals( assessing my debt risk home loan vs savings retirement etc) gave me.lpts of points and went to diamond Pretty quickly

You need upload proof of your savings and retirement etc. You can cheat and enter decent high amount you only have to proof it in 3 months time, but if don't have proof you will drop to blue again

Thanks a lot, appreciate the feedback!
 
Can anyone tell me which is the cheapest account that qualifies for Discovery Miles? The Ts & Cs of this points-to-miles promo only says:

But on Discovery's website, if I look at the "pay-per-transaction" fees for the various transaction account, with no credit card, it says at the bottom of the page "All fees include VAT. Excludes Discovery Miles. " So does this mean there's an additional fee in order to add on the Discovery Miles option, or tht you can't have Discovery Miles with that account?

I cant seem to get my HR up doing home.workouts(also don't enjoy them) I enjoy my outdoor runs where I can get my 300points so hopefully from Friday

Maybe I'm older and thus have a lower max HR, but I've downloaded a few go-to workouts which easily get me up to 80% of max for 30 minutes. Try FitnessBlender's HIIT workouts. They're not quite 30 minutes but you can just do one-and-a-half to get up to the 30 minutes. They have so many different combinations, you can go every day for a week or two without repeating any. I usually jump around a bit before I start recording on my watch, so that my ave HR is already up when I start.

Going sign up my wife for bank. She gets 300 points exercise almost every day so worth it for her. So that's 300 miles extra each time she does it

And you have to activate discovery money right. How do you do that? Can you activate discovery money with a transactional account only.

Normally gets activated with the account as you pay for it. R5 for bank account and R5 for vitality money on gold transaction account. So think its automatic, but cant activate on just a savings account.

I've always been getting the banks miles and had discovery money and I only have their credit card And their free vitality savings account?
 
My wife's discovery bank account is now active. But her miles account is gone, no miles in discovery app or bank app lol

Guess I will give it some time to update. Really wanted that extra miles as she did another 300 points exercise which is all ready update on active rewards.

Credit card counts as well, basically any account that cost money monthly.

This was my worry - I fear perhaps you don't get Discovery Miles if you only open the R10 account. I wish I could find out. I have a lot of Discovery Miles through the old credit card (which I'm keeping for as long as possible due to the miles multiplier) and I don't want to risk losing them by opening the wrong bank account.
