Anybody know how the vitality will work in the below situation:

I currently have vitality (linked to my bankmed), which is coming to an end as of 31st March 2019, as i have resigned from my medical aid and moved over to my wife's medical aid (Exact same plan and medical aid that i had), my wife however did not have Vitality, so i activated her vitality yesterday, and it will take affect 1st April 2019, and she will be the main member.

Now i know that my points will carry over to the new vitality, and i will loose my current status (gold 2 year in a row, end of this year wouldve been diamond... but yeah...)

But i want to know, how will the log in work? Will i still have access to my current points, Dischem vouchers, Vitality active rewards (Currently have 140 active rewards points, and 1 diamond.)

I tried asking the call center all this, but they all give different explanations.
Based on any interaction with this company I think you should expect the worse and keep your expectations very low. Like you will probably lose everything and will have to start over again. Anything transferred to the new membership (as a dependant) would be a bonus.

Obviously? Majority of the check-ups rely on someone to perform a service, and they obviously need to be paid... I think you can claim back from MSA for some of the checkups though?
the health checks were free at Dischem - I see they claimed the full R404 from my health benefits

You can claim from msa. The Vitality check is available even if msa is exhausted.

App update on Android. Looks like they will implement biometrics before the end of the month.

Hot damn at long last. Discovery can learn a lot from Momentum, whose app is actually fast and works 1000 times better and have had biometric authentication for a long time already.

Can you not (very quickly) take out the cheapest life policy that they offer in your name.? And keep your Vitality linked to you, and add her to your Vitality.
Then you can argue with them about moving Vitality to her profile

Too late for that, I already had a life policy with them as well, but had no idea that I could do that.

I've already resigned from my vitality and activated her vitality.
