Where can one activate the gym booster? I lost this inadvertently earlier in the year when I switched to the national "premium" subscription, but I'm back to the one club subscription again and cannot find it anywhere online or on the app.

The interwebs seem littered with old and discontinued discovery benefits, that they don't ever bother removing - so does this still exist or can one still sign up for it?

Try in the app under vitality. Then benefit boosters and then you should see gym. Booster which should direct you to active it on the website. I could be mistaken tho

It doesn't appear there for me, only watch, flight and fitness boosters show under available boosters.
 
Amirite that there are no longer any Takealot vouchers as rewards, and no Incredible Connection R2000 voucher? I can't see them any more...

Go have your tracker checked out - mine stopped working and they had to replace it.

It's strange. We have two cars. One has the DQ tracking device and that is registering fine for fuel rewards but not for vitality driving Rewards. The other car has the little tracking device you collect from tiger wheel n tyre. Which is working for both fuel rewards and vitality rewards.
 
Can you register for vitality driving rewards without being on insure?

They might just be having issues on the site. My dischem is also showing 0%. Otherwise phone them and ask.

If I go to the HealthyGear section, my Vitality Age and Vitality Fitness assessment show the expiry dates.
If I go to the HealthyCare section, then my Vitality Age and Vitality Fitness assessments show as not completed.
If I go to the HealthyFood section, then it doesnt show the expiry dates but shows how much Im getting.

The site is always hit and miss for me. I need to call them regarding my shoe booster. It doesnt seem to have activated although the first 25% has been paid to me.

So how does it work when Im. Overseas and doing a fitness run. If I change my fitness watch to say the current time while. I'm overseas for example 6am but in sa it's 11pm.the day before, does vitality work on the sa date for the fitness run or the date I'm. Actually doing it in the current county time?

Thanks for that, so. It doesn't matter then what time I set my fitness watch to?

Im speculating so I could be wrong, but the events are most likely recorded at the +00 timezone and then they add the additional 2 hours onto it to reflect for South Africa. So you will have to convert into za time and see if it fits in or not.

I can't be 100% certain, but I feel like this isn't necessarily true for certain metrics like step count (on Apple devices). The discovery app draws its data from the Health App, which records your steps per "day" - note not 24 hour period. I've previously lost and gained time when flying across time zones. When my phone/watch made the switch then my opportunity to make my steps lengthened or shortened accordingly.

Workouts are different I suppose in the sense that they have a start/finish time recorded too and the data is kept in a different app. Step data is number of steps per hour - I suppose which day any particular hour falls in can change depending not on where the steps are recorded, but where they are read.

Good point, I only thought of workouts because of the way the question was asked.
I also suppose different brands handle things differently
 
Hey guys i have been trying to use https://www.discovery.co.za/vitality/calculator#, but just not seem to work for me.

In short I will be joining soon just before discovery bank launches. Work will pay for med aid and pay R300 a month towards gym.
I want just use money and join virgin active red without vitality discounts and save the joining fees, as the work will be paying anyway.
Will I loose too many points not joining the gym through vitality? I can do some park runs and maybe some other running events also to make up if I must.

Also should join just me and or it is easier if add my wife also?

I have samsung gear for fitness and wife has apple watch.
