R700 sounds real good, nice one
out of curiosity, what shoes are you looking to buy?Going to use some of my miles I got for cash back from Woolies to fund the remainder of the balance.R700 sounds real good, nice one
Oooh, those are very nice.
And what makes them even more nice is that I don't even have to spend a cent of my 'own money' to get them. Discovery pays 65% and the other 35% comes from my Discovery Miles which I get from buying at Woolworths/Pnp/Shell. (and also the miles I get when I achieve my weekly exercise goal).

None of that tell my why there are different statuses and what they mean.

Well, I signed up to virgin active today - because they have the promo going for April where it could be free if I visit 4 times before month end. And that 75% the Discovery pays if I maintain 36 visits a year. All motivation that I need to get me into shape.
Just need a good routine now.

Okay, so what I can work out is this:
The Blue, Brozen etc is literally just a motivator and there is no extra benefits from being at Bronze level vs Dimond level - except for the number of points you have. Which would equate to Discovery Miles in some form or the other...
So its just a tracker.. right?
no, the levels do matter.
Use the calculator to check what different cash backs you get depending on your level.
If you Blue for example, you will only get 10% from Woolworths, but if you Diamond, you get 25% back. But if you have their Banking suite, and manage your money well, your Woolworths cash back jumps to 50%.
The Blue, Bronze, Silver, Gold, Diamond tiers give you more cash back (miles) as you climb through them.
To climb through these levels, you need to drive well, manage your money well, go for health checks, dont buy junk food at PnP or Woolies, do your weekly exercises, etc
The amount of points you have determines which level your are on. So if you have 25 000 points, you will be on silver. To reach 25 000 points, you can go for a health check which gives you 15 000, then do some weekly exercises, that gives you another 500 per week, etc etc.
It will take some time to understand, but once you do, its super easy.
Thing is, you want to nail your health assessments so that you get the big discounts on HealthyFood. And if you nail your health assessments, you're pretty much going to end up at a high status anyway.
Now why can't they just use this bog on their site without using calculators etc.
Appreciate the info - that clears it up.
Correct. Acing your health test and just doing the HIV test gets you 30 000 points already. Which immediately makes you silver.
Then to get to Gold, you do weekly exercises, buy healthy food, Flu shot, mental wellbeing, etc etc.
Once you've been Gold 3 years in a row, you will get diamond status. Thats the maximum you get. With that, I get the following cash backs: (amongst many other discounts like healthy gear, Apple Watch, iPhone benefit, 15% extra value on all miles spent)
(mind you, I do have a platinum banking suite).

That rule changed! Now you can get to Diamond in the first year.
Exactly. Less money they spend on hospital bills....
Win-Win I guess.
I just hope I can stick going to the gym a few times a week and not completely give up on it again like last time.

Couple years ago I would agree, not anymore.
Could you elaborate? And provide a source ?
