For anyone that has gone back to training at Virgin Active, what is it like and what is the process?

I am going back from Sunday but not sure if I have to book ahead of time or what is available.

I’ve been going on the rainy days. Nothing much has changed at my club actually. You scan your card and they take your temperature. Then it’s training as usual, except you wear a mask if you’re not doing any vigorous cardio. No booking necessary for VA and you can check on your club’s webpage how busy they are before you go.

Has anyone tried activating both the Apple Watch and iPhone benefits? Is this possible? Can't get answers on Whatsapp.

Discovery hotel collections.
So I'm attempting to book accommodation, I used a hotel that's included in the vitality hotel collections partners.
Enter all details, search and it returns that hotel is not available.
I adjust dates, still not available.
I jump onto some other sites, check availability for same hotel for same dates and boom available.
This feels like such a con, I work the whole year to build up to diamond status and then the once or twice a year I want to make use of this for travel, it doesn't allow it..

Started going since last week again. When you enter they ask you to sanitize whereafter they take your temperature and you complete a check in form. And that’s it. Every second machine is disabled and no one wears a mask while working out.

Awesome thanks. Is that using bank, health and insure?

How difficult are the goals to obtain?
Yup. I don’t even worry about the goals tbh, sort of achieve them without trying. The money and fitness goals are lower than normal at the moment but even the max 900 or 1,200 points fitness and 25 points money are easily achievable. Money can be tricky if you don’t use your card often but there are workarounds like buying airtime or vouchers in small increments.

Probably because the bookings go via Kulula and they are in business rescue at the moment.

I'm sitting with a gold debit card that costs me R10/month and I use that to monetize my miles if I want to...
If I upgrade that to a gold suite - looks like that ups it to R120, and then in theory I could work my way up to 40% health food. (I'm a fnb ebucks person primarily - so unlikely i will move all my spend across). And I currently only tell Discovery some of my portfolio w.r.t vitality money.
So - can someone who is gold confirm for me... would I need to get to diamond on vitality money? And what amount do / would I have to spend to get the 40%.
I'm weighing up cost vs benefit, and not finding documentation around this.
Yes you will need to be on Diamond money status and spend R12500 to maximise your discount.

No, that was not the issue. Maybe for flights, but for hotels Kulula was fine.
Just my chosen Hotel it won't let me book it
Try enter an area or region rather than the individual hotel. I've had the same issues before when searching individual hotels - but for some I couldn't figure out how to get them to show up correctly.

Hi guys, I wanted to find out if it's just me or is anyone else finding that the snapscan wallet top up transactions aren't counting towards banking vitality active rewards.
