am I right that it’s better to buy coffees with your vouchers / points, than it is to convert points to miles at 6 to 1?

Personally I think it’s best to let them accumulate (for up to 5 years) until something worthwhile comes along. I’m sure they’ll integrate miles into their other products like investments, like they did with the Vitality Open (like buy a R10,000 investment with 80,000 miles as a silly example).

If you are getting 100 miles a week, the math says that it will take you just over 15 years to save up those miles if you only have health with discovery.

But you’ll get much more than that. Eg. I if I spend R2,000 on Healthy Food in a month, I get 8,000 miles back (assuming I’m at 40% with bank. 5000 if one has health only).

Edit: See attached example from Discovery. Miles will add up very quickly.

Looking to move over to vitality, just checking for the reason there is demand to buy miles, even at more than 10 miles to a rand. Is there some multiplier/discount effect similar to eBucks discounts? Where can this be used? There are so many brochures around that I don't know how to understand it all (and hats off to all who understands it)

No, there's no multiplier like with eBucks. The person wants to buy 11.5 miles for a rand, which means they'll spend R10 on 115 miles. 115 miles will buy them R11.50 of goods, so they are trying to get R11.50 of goods for spending R10.

So, it is worthwhile keeping 100 points and getting them converted or should I just spend them?

I think you should hold them. I have 215 so I'll have a decent amount of Miles.

Am guessing their actuaries have done some tweaking...

So you get dMiles 5000 for doing your health check, @ies87 you did yours recently will they back date you for the miles.im due to do mine before the end of the month,so should I wait till next week for the new miles integration?

Is that only for Bank clients, or also for old Credit Card clients who have activated the Miles benefit?

Good question,I have their new Credit card and their free vitality savings. Maybe it's if you have their full banking account?
They get my hopes up for nothing

They said they'll backdate. It's only 2,500 though. 2,500 more for achieving goals related to your health check.

2020 Discoverer mentions that it's an integration between bank and health. So I think you do need bank. It just mentions a 'qualifying account' but doesn't specify what that account is.

I hope the free vitality savings account and the cc is a qualifying account

The Discovery Integrator has officially been launched according to their homepage. Almost no information there though but I assume that, as long as you have a miles account with bank, you qualify. The site mentions linking your bank account and health plan though, no idea how you do that - Health Banking?

EDIT: I called them - you link bank with health by activating Health Banking. My miles should have come through instantly, they have logged a query as to why I didn't get them.

Yes it is, as long as it is in good standing.
