Not sure, for 2019? Where do you see this?

No, Updated the app this morning and seems to be a new points system that works with playing a game to win points to then spend on our usual. I got 25 pints this morning which is enough for a coffee.

You can also accumulate your points for up to 12 weeks to get a better reward.

ok I see now. Its explained at https://www.discovery.co.za/vitality/active-rewards

called "Vitality Open".

Seems a bit better than the previous casino stuffup they had. That casino thing really seemed rigged to me. At least with the board, you can see afterwards what you could have had, and you are able to build up the points to better rewards. So I say, "a bit" better.

Looks pretty cool to me, I like that you can store points up - struggled to use my core rewards every week -this seems much better.
 
I think it's pretty similar to the previous rewards. Well at least the odds are. These diamonds last only 12 weeks. What is the odd getting a diamond 3 - 6 times within that time.

Guys, who pays for the Vitality tests if you join i.e fitness, health etc?

I did mine at Clicks and Discovery paid for them. I didn't do the biokineticist one though, just the health check. I was thinking I'd need to pay because I'm on Smart Essential but Discovery actually covered. Was surprised.

So I worked this out. Yes I'm a nerd. Assuming there's 1 diamond in each board, and the board is 20 blocks, and Discovery isn't rigging the thing, you have a 2% chance (i.e. 1 in 50) of getting 3 or more diamonds in a 12-week period.

You have roughly a 10% chance of getting exactly 2.
~34% chance of getting one.
~54% chance of getting zero.

So that's actually not too shabby, if 1 in every 50 Vitality customers gets a fairly decent reward then they might actually be shelling out quite a bit to reward those who stay active. It's certainly motivation enough for me.

The maths of how to work this out are on this page:

But then you basically are not getting points for that?

How about the fact milk shakes cost 40 points. The lowest amount you can win is 25 points and the most is 75/100 points. I think discovery might be winning here. But its hard to tell.

Yeah difficult, also how many people used their rewards every week - I certainly didn't - I like the fact that you can save up for stuff - I got 50 points this morning.

No, I got the points. Waist line and BP numbers were a bit higher than they should have been :oops: but I got the points for the other things.

Yeah this is true. Means that in any given week you may have to do without your smoothie. Which is a bummer. I'm too lazy to work out the probabilities for those.

It would be interesting to know if the composition (if not the position) of every board will be the same. Post screenshots of yours? Are there the same numbers of 75s and 25s and whatever else?

I count 9x25, 3x30, 4x40, 2x50, 1x75 and 1xdiamond.
