Do those of us not with bank also get to take advantage of vitality day , 15th of each month, to spend miles and get discount?
Example I am on diamond vitality for health. Have a life policy but no bank accounts with them

I think you need the bank to get the discount and then 5% per product.
Why would people spend miles at dischem and lose out the miles that could have been earned.

Same problem as FNB / Checkers.
Bit of a catch 22 really - comes down to having nowhere else worthwhile to spend them.

Makro, PNP or even better PNP liquor, takealot incredible connection.
I think Disocvery has an extensive list of shops my issue is trying to build up miles for bigger purchses.
Dischem has plenty of good stuff that doesn't fall under HealthyCare.
But that said, there's many good partners for Miles. I'm enjoying them a lot more than eBucks lately. Have a shopping list ready for the 15th on Takealot and Yuppiechef.
Steak knives, Bravecto and a new Kong for the dog, a couple of books for myself, some stuff that the lady ordered (mirrors, laundry basket nonsense).
So I want to give Vitality a go, for now I'm only on medical aid, but if it works for me, I'll look in to bank and life insurance as well.
I'm looking for a tracker which I can use as a stop gap till I have the confidence to sign up for the Apple Watch reward. I have a old Apple Watch series 2 which I no longer use, last I used it, it no longer worked so lekker.
If I can't get my Series 2 going again, what cheap and cheerful device can I look at as a stop gap for a couple of months?
I use a iPhone XR and I only walk and use a stationary bike.
I saw there's a Ziaomi Me smart band and a Huawei band which seams to go for well under R1000, are these any good?

Taken from the vitality webpage.
Supported devices:
Supported apps (I see Strava has been added
):
So in your case the Huawei should work (I do not have one so I cannot guarantee it).
From my perspective, all that matters to Vitality when earning points is Heart Rate vs Time and steps.
So continuous HR during your workout is a feature that is required. Some devices do not do continuous HR monitoring or they are not accurate.

I'm new on Vitality. Trying to learn the ropes.
The status+points work per year, right? So at the beginning of the year, everyone is back on Blue and you need to try to get to Diamond status ASAP? Or does your status from this year carry over to the next?

The status you achieve this year will carry over to 2022. Next year you will still have to reach diamond again for 2023 etc
