Ordinarily, you can go get a free gift card instore and at customer services load all your digital voucher codes onto the gift card. This may be a way around limited use of single vouchers.

I have three plays this week. Last week discovery robbed me of two plays and have yet to get back to me. Their shitty service is one reason I will never take them up on their bank option.
So I have three plays and need one more diamond to get 5. Noticed it's impossible, always next to the diamond. Do wonder if its rigged

You might be right.
My diamond was right in the middle of all 3 of my picks and in general I’m always next to the diamond. Think there was one week where I wasn’t close.

I also want to know precisely this...

What are you eyeing? Some flights? You can already get a R2000 voucher you lucky bugger.
Tbh. I'm not an apple fanboy. Not the type to spend on luxury sunglasses and also don't find stuff to be particularly cheap at incredible corruption. So I'd hope for the flights. If they had the R2k voucher for Cape Union, then I'd be interested...

You could always sell the incredible voucher. Could probably get 1900 for it.

Does anyone know why the Insure app keeps sending me a warning "Location service required: Enable network location to use Insure". As far as I can tell my Location service is enabled, and the app did log a trip this morning (but only the return trip, not the outgoing trip).
Make sure under location settings is Set to high accuracy, even tho my location is if its not on high accuracy it won't record. Trip
Luck I guess. Also helped that there were bonus challenges which increased the amount of plays you can get per week. Got 3 plays per week for most of the time.

Yeah. The wife got two fairly early on, then nothing since. Statistically, someone will have it. I worked out the statistics several pages back ;-)

Ah, ok. I found that setting. Interestingly, if I deny location permission to the main Discovery app, it moans that it needs my location to be able to report on the location of stolen vehicles. Even though I'm not with Discovery Insure. And the Insure app also starts moaning at me, even though location services permission is still enabled for the Insure app. <Sigh>

From 2019 it will be R259 for a single member.
In terms of it being worthwhile - I did a calculation in 2017, and my monthly subscriptions totalled R2628, and my savings came to R6153. That included almost R2600 off a Cape Town flight ticket thanks to the initial 35% discount plus the additional travel booster (now discontinued, I believe), R820 off a car rental, and R650 from the shoe booster (I have deducted the R350 activation fee for that benefit). The rest was healthy food, healthy care and healthy gear. I didn't include any gym benefit in those calculations, since it's too hard to work out (I'm on the pre-2010 benefit, so I pay only for R250-odd pm for Premier membership). I also didn't include the cash value of the Discovery Miles I get from the 10x miles booster at various retailers, nor the cash value of whatever discount I get on my Discovery Life policy due to my Vitality status, nor the cash value of Vitality active rewards (which had no real cash value in 2017, but do have cash value if they continue with the current system - that's a guaranteed R25 per week for making your goal).
I'm a single person who spends at least 6 months out of the country each year, so my savings from the healthy stuff are way less than what a "normal" person would get.
It all depends how willing you are to buy into the system.
What subscriptions you have with discovery ? Is it only life insurance with vitality ? Do you also have medical aid or car and RA?
It all depends how much you actually use the benefits. For me, I get out much more than I put in, so it is definitely worthwhile. This includes free gym membership (because I reach my fitness goals every week), healthyCare, healthyFood and healthyGear cashbacks, and then also the occasional Kulula flight. I do not have a Discovery Card, eBucks ftw!

I have Discovery Health (only for hospitalisation and chronic, not for day-to-day out-of-hospital expenses), Discovery Life (disability and dread disease cover - I'm a freelancer so I need this), Discovery Card (only for earning Discovery Miles for BA flight rewards - the card fees are much the same as any other card out there) and Vitality. No car insurance (I don't drive enough to warrant it) or RA (their layers of complexity turn me off, I'd rather get a cheap index-tracker).
I get more than I put in but that is cause I use it properly . Need to be active and do your vitality check and should signup with virgin active
Same here it really works for me as well
