Yes as I did not spend money my card for bank portion. So I'm at 50% which is the base amount now. I was on 68%
Not sure it depends on whether you achieved your bank goal. I did and I still dropped to 50%.

Spending regarding the amount spend, most my spend on discovery is fake spend which I did not do last month. My banks goals are reached. So I don't get any extra earn as I spend too little last month.

Looks like everyone dropped to 50%. Must be an error. 50% also seems to be the max now if you look at the slider in the app
That's odd because the email they sent to me (probably everyone got a similar) said that I don't have to reach the required spend during lockdown and Ill be on a guaranteed 75% from.end of April, so maybe tomorrow being 1st may it will go up,?

Mine back 68%
Yeah I got 700 miles for exercise as well. Also everyone has gone up to max cash back during the period..they not looking at spend.I got extra miles for steps
i spoke to discovery bank today about OTPs. Apparently you can only get a OTP for online transactions via your mobile phone. They won't allow you to get it sent to your email address because it can be intercepted.
Does this frustrate anyone else? I've been overseas already and couldn't use my credit card online.

Strange - my miles had also disappeared - R4 500!!!!!
I managed to sort it out today after phoning multiple times and being told systems were down, they were fixing errors etc.
Fortunately I sent a rude email in January and had proof I'd been nagging.
Yes extremely annoying if your overseas and need to make a purchase that requires an OTP ,I asked them what to do, they said when I do the purchase I must phone the banks.fraud department to override it,crazy!!! After all this time of being open they still don't allow OTP via email is stupid

They probably do but I don't want to activate roaming just for that, and get a surprising huge bill from MTN
So, you can use international roaming to get your OTP. Except it's often MUCH cheaper to just buy a local simcard wherever you are than pay roaming charges.
Perhaps I'm just spoiled by my FNB Card, where the FNB App will show you your OTP once you've logged in.
An aside: have you seen the AMAZING rates on the Discovery Fixed DEposits right now? I think they're offering the best interest rates on the market at this time, especially since the repo was reduced

Thyme bank offers 9% though.

10% actually ... at no fixed term.... how is DB beating that?
Oops I was just looking around and accidentally opened up a notice savings account,how do I cancel or close it?
Initially the rate says up to 5.5% so I wasn't sure what ill actually get.till I opened it and actually gave me 5.5%
My two ABSA savings account interest rate have tables to 3.7% every since rh repo rate dropped so I need to look at something that is not linked to the repo incase they drop the rates. I'm aware of Tyme but would prefer discovery suggestions?
