Discovery Bank

Anybody have experience with fixed deposit accounts?

I have a 12 month fixed deposit account with Discovery Bank that matured yesterday and I chose to have the money transferred to my transaction account but it has still not arrived?

You would think this would happen same day as its within the same bank.

My first fixed deposit with DB matured in January and the money got transferred in the early hours on the maturation date. Maybe call them to query the delay, the money should have been transferred yesterday already.
 
Discovery Card no longer wants to Tap to Pay. What could be wrong? Any ideas?

Tap and Pay has failed about 3 times in the last few days and then I'm forced to do chip & pin.

Thats strange. For me the tap and pay stops working after a few taps and will request my pin.

However if it has failed 3 times it could be many factors. Which store did you try tapping? What error message did you get?

Tapped at 3 different stores. No error message displayed that I could see. It was like tapping a non-tap card - nothing happened.

Call the bank, maybe they can check why the transaction failed.

They do offer a free card replacement maybe that would solve the problem.

The NFC chip in the card is likely no longer working. Replace the card

Weird, I had the exact same issue yesterday!! Nothing happening when I tap, so I just inserted and did chip&pin

Yea, I'm not sure what the problem is. The card is brand new so I'm not sure how the NFC chip packed up so quickly. Will try again over the weekend.

If on Andriod, there is an app you can install to check if it reads your CC. Think it is called Credit Card Reader NFC

Thanks for the tip. I'm on iOS but maybe it can help someone else. I was wondering if the card limits might influence Tap & Pay. I recently changed some settings on that screen. But I guess it's more likely that the NFC chip is faulty.
 
I just want to confirm that if you're on Vitality Health and Money you can earn more the R500 cash back on the HealthyFood benefit?

I'm currently on 30% for Woolies so if I spend my max limit of R2000 will I receive R600 cash back or only R500?

You’ll receive 6,000 miles.
 
Can someone explain in layman's terms how the 75% miles "cashback" works? I've just written them an extremely rude email after they sent me a one-line stating that the reason I didn't get 75% (which is counter to the table in their document) was because I only met 3 of the 4 exercise goals. If I go look in the app, I've met all my exercise goals since November last year. I even queried them with their own document (vitality active rewards -> gym booster benefit guide):

- I have the bank account
- Bank account is in good standing
- I spend more than R2.5k on the account
- I have > 36 gym visits

Am i missing something?

I only got 87.5 % back. Still waiting for an answer why. I've got everything listed above.
 
Does anyone else have problems with regards to discovery miles payments in-store? I was at Dischem just now, and we struggled for 20 minutes. The voucher generated fine but kept saying "Invalid" when the cashier typed it in, and then on my cellphone after her second attempt, it said "a technical error has occurred, please try again later"
