How do you pay vodacom with a card?

Was browsing around the Vodacom website to update my debit order details just now, and I see you can now pay your account by credit card online. You can even specify the amount ie break it up into smaller amounts to get more money points.

Was looking for that feature a week ago! Well spotted! Guess who's cancelling his debit order :-)

I pay my Fiber account in numerous R50 online transactions. Got a phonecall from the ISP yesterday asking if I as having issues with the online payments because they notices I pay R50 at a time (Fiber account is R999 a month) :-) I explained about the weekly Discovery Bank targets and they just laughed and told me to go ahead with my modus operandi as long as it makes sense to me :-) Also pay another retailer online the same way (R50 at a time) :-) Have never missed a weekly bank reward since opening my account in August because of this approach :-)

Thanks for that idea ,I tried with my fiber company but they don't accept credit card payments.

Any other ideas on how to pay different invoices?

Wonder if they're going to close that 'loophole'. It just smacks of a broken rewards system.

Would also just like to mention that the confusion on this forum reflects really badly on Discovery. It's really unbelievable how little information there is about how any of their new services and products work. Have to suspect the obfuscation is 'good' for them as some clients sign up and pay for rewards that they might never obtain. But surely it loses them clients as well?

On that note, just reading what some of you are having to do to attain certain statuses and maintain certain thresholds for rewards etc. is making me nauseous. I think the rewards system has become too bloated, complicated, and tedious.
 
Hi

what is the best basic account(cheapest) to sign up for , so i can complete the rewards?

Thank you

p.s: without swapping my paycheck to discovery
 
I did two transactions at midday and my money goal never updated with the two points? Any one else having this issue? Normally it adds to my transaction goal immediately

Me too. Did a transaction this morning and no points yet. There have been delays before but it’s never taken never this long to reflect. I should have gotten 300 points for exercise but that hasn’t updated either. And my drive goal isn’t updating. So loads of bugs atm it seems.

Okay thanks I was wondering also from my workout earlier why it wasn't updating.

My drive goal has updated

Did they sort out gym visits as yet?

My drive goal updates on the landing page and the bank app but not the vitality page.

I’m not sure about gym visits, I rarely go. But sounds like many people have had issues.

I can see my 300 point run under ‘point events’ but nowhere else. Weird.

When you say vitality page, are you meaning on the web page ? Landing page? If its showing there that should be good?

Landing page is page you get on the app. Mine also shows bank goal almost reach at around 18 out 20, but in active rewards it shows 14. It should be at 18.

Yes, the first page you see after logging into app. I’m sure it’s good enough, iPhone benefit page on the bank app also updates correctly. It’s just annoying, I don’t want to have to worry about points not updating every week.
My money goal has updated overnight but exercise and drive are still stuck.

Checked again just after posting this and they’re all fixed now. Hopefully everyone else is sorted too, and we don’t struggle like this every week.

Has anyone been able to use Health Banking successfully? I have it activated for co-payments up to R1k. I got medicine at Dischem the other day and had a co-payment of R10. Had to go queue again and the pharmacist had no idea what I was talking about.
