Yes the secondary is up and running; received the primary first, though. Good luck with sorting it out.

I did however notice that when I log into the app and go to boosted rewards with vitality money then it seems that I will be better off with going with the full suite instead of the credit card as the cashback at Dischem/Clicks (we spend alot there per month) seem higher as well as the 100% Gym benefit on the full suite for the extra R100 per month.

So if I take the credit card only it's R 75 per month and I pay 25% of the gym fee vs if I take the full suite then I pay R110 more than the credit card but get 100% of my gym fee.

Please correct me if Im wrong

This sounds right; in our case we (spouse and I) still receive 100% of our gym fees back for hitting the weekly rewards (with only the Credit Card). We use the weekly 'game board earnings' to fund additional costs at Dischem. I suppose in the end things pan out evenly if one actively manages your 'rewards'.

Did you guys activate the new gym booster ?

My vitality dashboard now says ''You are missing out on Vitality Money savings, so make sure you qualify''

Our gym booster was active before joining the bank - and after joining the cash back stayed the same (still waiting for cash back for August, though); also, did not have to sign up for new gym booster. We did not get such a message on dashboard.
 
This is interesting. Anyone put it to the test


You get automatic warranty extension of up to 24 months, as well as short-term protection against theft and accidental damage of purchases made with your Discovery Platinum Card

All platinum Visa cards have this, it’s not unique to Discovery Card.

Did you guys get the new credit card that is managed through Discovery Bank, or still have the credit card that is linked in FNB.

My gym booster was active for the last 2 years, but after moving over to Discovery Bank I have to re activate.

You don’t get money back with Apple Watch. If you don’t achieve your goals you pay a penalty, so it’s the other way around.

Ok thanx, so hopefully that system works and I don't have to pay anything if I reach my goals.

Works like a charm, I’m on my second watch already. I’ve never had an issue. As long as you achieve your exercise goal every week you don’t pay a cent, apart from the joining fee.

Friend of my contacted them about that, what was said to him --> Do not include mobile phones. I finally found it. Those benefits for the cards are actually from VISA, not discovery

And:

And the extended warranty for phones is 12 months from date of purchase.

It's the same with the Lounge visits. It's not Discovery it's Visa. Discovery did choose to apply the Lounge visits on the Black card only while another bank i know has them on the platinum.

Which makes no sense at all. To be honest, the Platinum card on Discovery makes no sense.

Discovery are supposed to be opening their own lounges though. But I guess that’s years away at the rate they’re rolling out features.
 
Anyone have an idea of how I can upload proof of savings ? Tried the app months ago, then phoned them twice and they gave me the same address [email protected] but still no success.

Did the same. The second time I called, I was told to wait for between 3-4 weeks. They are experiencing a huge backlog in processing documents.
