Discovery Bank

The app has gone from a 2.0 rating to a 2.9 rating in a space of a week on the Google Play Store. I'm glad to see the developers are finally fixing the crazy bugs from last week so quickly.
 
Do you guys -who are not heavy users- get at least your bank charges back every month?
I currently only have their credit card. Not looking worthwhile to upgrade

Received an email from discovery bank that one can get R799 activation fee back for an apple watch. The apple watch offer refers to under vitality rewards having an apple watch option. I dont have this option anywhere?

Website..

Also you need to take proof of payment / activation code with to iStore, where it does the CC R5000 Balance check..

The activation fee will initially be deducted from your Discovery Bank account once you’ve activated the Apple Watch benefit, then we will pay you the activation fee as cash back into your Vitality Savings Account.

Still waiting for cash back..

Here is some information on the Gym benefit, so I assume I am only getting 75% until I activate it.
By opting in to the boosted Vitality gym benefit with Discovery Bank, you agree that your gym benefit will no longer be an upfront monthly saving on your gym fees, but rather a cash back amount.

Virgin Active will increase your monthly gym membership fee from R249.00 to R995.00, which is an increase of R746.00. Once you have successfully boosted your Vitality gym benefit with Discovery Bank, you can enjoy up to 100% cash back per month.

How do you close your account? Do you have to phone or is there another way via the app/chat?
 
It's been almost a month since I uploaded proof of my savings, still nothing. No feedback at all, it basically looks like I haven't uploaded anything.

Done with this. Maybe in two or three years once they've figured out what they are doing.

I uploaded via the app and it shows as ticked as accepted,yet still in silver status,so I emailed them proof been three weeks and they have escalated it.

To answer your previous question,I don't know how to cancel it, I'm waiting till next month to see their new miles program, because I'm classified as a low spender I will never see any of the extra cash back benefits, so the only reason I'll stay if the miles program is good, otherwise I'm cancelling the cc I've had the discovery cc for 3 years . So will try the ebucks game

My understanding of the gym benefit is that as long as you have the discovery 1+ account (the full banking suite), and meet your goals, you will get 100% back. This seems to be irrespective of your money status.
 
Has anyone registered for the new Gym benefit then they can just tell us without all the guess work?

I stopped my registration because as far as I am concerned until they email me saying the gym booster is discontinued and can only be had on the bank they must keep paying me 100% ..and my wife who will drop down once it changes cause its only for the main bank member it seems.

So I will milk the 100% benefit until I have to pay the full debit order.
 
What happens to the original discovery CC with Fnb? Do I need to cancel it, or will Discovery handle that?

Same. Until we have all the t's and c's in black and white, I am not risking this.
