What a useless company. If they can't do marketing 101, how are they ever going to deliver a service well? I tried to find a list of heart-rate monitor devices compatible with the Vitality package and ended up with their Chatbot which gave me a list of URLs to details for the various devices:

Every one of those URLs produced this page:


Probably because i'm not yet a Vitality member. What a joke lol.

Technically it did answer your question. That list of brands is all you need to know. Then you go look at various watches from those brands that match your budget and bob is your uncle.

Not every one of the devices those brands produce are compatible. Please try not to stick up for the company's failures lol. I have a Garmin heart-rate monitor that connects to my treadmill automagically. Can I use it?

Yes

All the devices that upload the data to the brands' service is compatible. You just need to find how the device upload data.

Most of them are. It is not the device that links to discovery, but rather the app or website (like Samsung Health) that the device uploads the data to. The app or website shares the data with Discovery.

Not all devices are linked to an app, not all models of Technogym equipment are supported, etc. etc.

Not all devices yes, but they gave you a list of manufacturers, all of those have an app. If the device has HR your good to go.
 
Daruk said:
Actually no. Mostly newer devices only it seems.

You said you had a garmin hr strap that connects to a treadmill, the treadmill is irrelivent to using it for discovery. It connect to garmin, garmin sends it to discovery therefore, yes...

From 2020 you will no longer have to achieve Gold Vitality status for three consecutive years to reach Diamond status. You can now reach Diamond Vitality status in a single year by earning 50 000 Vitality points. This means that your health and fitness outcomes will now be directly related to your Vitality status. To reach Diamond Vitality status in 2020 you will need to achieve 50 000 Vitality points, even if you reached Gold for the 2 previous years.

When you have additional adult dependants on your membership, the additional points that need to be earned in order for the family to reach each Vitality status will be lowered to 50% of the single member threshold. This means that additional adult dependents add 3 750 Vitality points to the threshold for the family to reach Bronze Vitality status, 12 500 points for the family to reach Silver, 20 000 points for the family to reach Gold and 25 000 points for the family to reach Diamond Vitality status. These members can earn a maximum of 25 000 Vitality points per year.

Vitality points in 2020

In 2020 we will be aligning our points structure to better reflect members? health status and reward them accordingly. This has resulted in some exciting new changes.

Please confirm how you understand this - so a main member and one adult dependant - reach diamond in 2020 by getting 75 000 points. But the main member needs to get 50 000 as the adult dependant can only earn 25 000 per year ?

Makes sense to me, sure the max they can be awarded is 25k,but earning 50k for 1 person is easy so for a 2nd person to earn half that should be child's play.

That actually seems better than previous years.
 
Good Morning

So trying to make sense of all the new changes to discovery. I have never been a vitality member but I am starting to consider it for gym and active rewards. Can anyone point out a reason to go for full vitality vs vitality active. I do not like restricting myself to buying "health" foods from predetermined stores as my local green grocer has is predominately where I buy my fruits and veg. Baring the discounts on HealthFood,HealthGear and Travel is there any other significant differences between the two?

Thanks in advance

No, this is not correct. The term additional adult is confusing, this actually refers to adult number 3 and up on a single vitality policy. So if there is only one ( the main) member on a vitality policy you will need 50,000 points for diamond. If you have the main member + one adult, then you need 100,000. If you have one member + one adult + additional adult you need 125,000 for Diamond. From here on you add 25,000 for every additional adult. If you ready the T&C of your vitality policy you will see that they define "additional adult" from the 3rd adult and up.

Active is just 50% off gym, full is 75%. Decent virgin actives are R800 just for that gym, so might be worth it just get the full package.

I cannot spot the - "Overall maximum Vitality fitness points 30 000 cap" in the 2020 - write up ? could this long standing cap possible be removed ? any ideas ?

Anyone got an answer for this? Would be epic if the 30k fitness points are removed

I found this rather interesting.

It’s ok. She kinda got some of her facts wrong. Like the international flights. She said you get 75% off but you get only 50% off. She didn’t mention anything about miles multiplier as well, wonder if they stopping that completely?

It seem a lot of the issues or benefits are still up in the air - Discovery like to test thing out - launch quickly then change.

Guys I am more or less sure miles multiplier is not gonna come back and I see they converted that portion into extra bank rewards which they promote as 50% healthy food cash back and 25% healthy gear and care etc this from bank side.
She is correct in 50% for international flights but it’s very restricted so I am sure they are trying to sugar coat things
