Discovery Vitality 2020

Did Discovery not say that you'll maintain your 2020 status for 2021, unless you improve it? My app says I will be Diamond next year, even though I don't have the points for it.

You will carry your current status or last year status to this year and carry the status on 31 December to next year

Ive got to also say - the gym visits now are a pain in the A.

Virgin active claremont - they make you use a pen to write down your name + answers, after they take your temp. And then you go and scan your card - which you have to hold very slowly so it picks it up.
They had 5months.... why didnt they write an app that links to the card scan and the staff member can tap Y/ N on the questions for you? Felt like it took forever to get into the gym...

This is part of the reason I decided it's tome for a home gym. Lucky I have sort of space. But I really can't be arsed with the time waste they call covid counter measures.

Hi guys, currently with fnb, premier fusion client, lvl 5, getting about 800 - 1200 rand worth of ebucks a month. Nothing wrong with service but i feel like my ebucks is dropping and i have no other commitment with the bank. Those that moved over from fnb, was you service/kick backs roughly the sam/more?
Does it help to switch if you do not have medical aid or car insurance with discovery?
I see that you can get an iphone for free (depend on the effort you put in). Since this is another r600 per month saving, can you get this offer as you sign up?
Ps going to most likely go for the platinum bundle account.

The iPhone won’t be free if you don’t have discovery insurance.. you need to reach exercise, spending and driving targets. And you need to save a fair bit with discovery bank to reach diamond level, and spend quite a bit too. But .... you can get 50% back on healthy food, gear and care and 15% back on fuel. You just have to change your spending habits. At this stage of the year you will have to exercise a LOT to get to diamond level (where you get the 50% back) . Good luck

To move medical and car insurance to discovery is only about r200 more per month (can maybe chat my premium lower for car) but it sounds like its the best to do this at the start of the new year.

I think you should do it.
Start a new thread and detail your experiences.
Would be good to see a comparison.

 

[Micdew]

Wow ok so going through all the detail is not easy, trying to find what you looking for is almost impossible. I'm def going to start a thread regarding this journey.
So what I have figured out is that you dont really have to be a medical aid member as you just need to sign up for Vitality Active and not Vitality Health (confusing).
However in Vitality Active they talk about points and goals, I found the points system (i think) however I cannot find anything about goals. Is this something that the system thumb sucks weekly/monthly for everyone?

Anyone having issues with points being allocated on online sessions and gym visits?

Yes .I contacted them via WhatsApp and they manually allocated me the points

Yes.
At my last gym visit for the week I fill in the manual attendance register for the days I was there and take a Pic of it. Which I then send to discovery via the whatsapp chat, then they manually allocate the points.

Discovery Vitality 2020 thread post 1884 will tell you at a high level what you need to get the max bank rewards, different criteria for differnt card colours.

The Vitality health part is simple, do your health check at Clicks/Dischem and do the online Vitality age assessment online

No man - bugger that. Not only does VA have months of lockdown to create an app. Now its manual forms coupled with manual photo -> submission, to get points.

wtf!?

I bought 8 Loot vouchers with my miles thinking I could stack them. Seems I was wrong.

Anybody know of a work around for this?

Alternatively if anyone is planning on buying from Loot please let me know.

I am willing to sell them at a discounted price if anyone is interested.

Try creating a gift voucher, pay with your loot voucher and then redeem the gift voucher on your account. It will be as a credit on your account.

Unfortunately they do not allow paying for gift vouchers using any discounts / vouchers.

I just bought a ton of household items in batches of R250

Looks like they changed it. I did that previously. Sorry bud.
