Time you Discovery faithful read up a bit about the company, especially how their medical aid treats PMB patients.....

Treat me just fine, besides nobody else comes close to offering what I get for what I pay, I'd love to leave them but it's retarded to go out and pay more for less.
 
Looks like you now have the ability to convert your DMiles to Avios through the app (Voyager still coming soon). That’s if you’re an avid Avios collector.
 
I just got to the point where I stop earning 1 DMile for every R20 spent. Now I get 1 DMile for every R100 spent. So if I spend R100k this month on the card then I’ll get a massive 1000 DMiles. Hardly worth it. Also, who the heck spends that each month?! Only reason to use Discovery Bank is for Healthyfood, Care & Gear bonuses in my opinion. And watch, phone, shoe/bike/device booster. But man there’s a lot of hoops to jump through.

I think your earn rate will be better if you had a avois credit card. If I remember correctly the translation rate is skewed in discovery’s Favour.

Yes you’re right. I have one of those cards too. R7,50 gives you 1 Avios. At some places it’s R5 = 1 Avios. It’s nice to know that I can convert DM to Avios if I desperately need to.

That's a strange ratio. I though mine's still sitting at 1 mile per R15 for any purchase, and 10 miles per R15 for my largest purchases at partners (ie's 6.6% miles cash back thru diamond multiplier).

Also, are the new DMile's from active reward interchangeable with the DMiles from the credit card?

As far as I can see so far you can use your Discovery Miles earned from your Credit Card to use in combination with your reward miles in the Active Rewards Mall if you join Discovery Bank.

My Discovery CC is still with FNB for now. My question is whether the DM you earn on the weekly rewards can be used with your CC miles at say Takealot or one of the other Miles partners.

Yes thats the question! Otherwise I'm holding onto FNB as long as possible as I see no benefit to moving to discobank
 
I am closing my disco credit card (old FNB one ) .i am generally good at cost benefit analysis . Discovery pass on their increased losses or less profits to your rewards . Too complicated now and only only benefits on top tier where I would question why you not at a private bank

Please do. The more people leave the likely discovery will change things back.
 
Yes Avios branch in SA is no longer, you can't earn via kulula , however you can still earn and redeem them flying on BA comair using avis and earn via all their international partners

Works lekker If you have both also. I mean I get 43% back at dischem from vouchers with ebucks.

Exactly! Same strategy that I have. I don’t think I’ll move everything over to DiscoveryBank anytime soon. EBucks is very profitable for me.
