With MileDDay coming up, does anyone know if the Vitality Hotel list on Kulula qualify for this extra discount?
I don't think so because the hotels don’t have to be booked with Miles.

Print it and then scan it back to give it that "real" look.I know. You can just see it's digital and I'm not sure if it's acceptable for a visa application, as usually they want "real" ones
Discovery bank is really trying interesting things
Nothing yet.Anyone heard anything more about when Forex functionality will be available?

Called the call centre, agent said she "thought she saw something like that on the app over the weekend". Held for 3 minutes and was then told that the Forex functionality would only be available in early 2022.Yes, and they claim this:

Fees and charges with our Discovery Bank Forex Accountswww.discovery.co.za
Shyft better than this then it seems.
From what I've looked at Shyft is slightly more expensive with their fees.
Since Discovery is asking 0.55% and a minimum of R175. Shyft charges flat rate $14, Shyft only starts winning out when you transfer amounts larger than $2400 for instance.
Shyft also charges for a transfer from your current account which Discovery is doing for free.
Everything is about the spot rate at the end of the day.
Looked at this for Schyft/Standard Bank's fees: https://www.standardbank.co.za/stat...nal Pricing/2022/Forex_Pricing_Guide_2022.pdf
Ah sorry, Standard charges to transfer to the Foreign Currency account, thought that was the same as ShyftI'm confused? Where is Shyft charging you to transfer from your account? It's free unless you switch back to Zar @ R35 for a refund from a Standard Bank Acc if we are looking at like for like.
Also Discovery doesn't charge those on higher accounts from what I saw earlier but gold peeps do have a cost for the account as well.
I've already started drinking so please use small words and pictures if possible![]()
Agreed. The fact that they have already gone and complicated it with different types of transfer options and costs, go fly a kite Discovery.Shyft better than this then it seems.
