Discovery Vitality 2023

[DramBuddy]

Has anyone else heard of a minimum Life insurance premium amount in order to join Vitality (Full Vitality) through Discovery Life?

Including the vitality cost the minimum cost is R750.

Any thoughts on the Lounge benefits? I've got a domestic trip coming up and usually use the Slow Lounge at King Shaka and OR Tambo. But this year, seeing as I'm with DiscoveryBank, I thought I'd try the SAA lounge. Has anyone visited either recently and what are your thoughts? Which is better?

I have visited both the ones at Cape Town and OR Tambo and I have felt disappointed (when compared to Slow Lounge). I'm guessing it would be ditto at King Shaka.

At OR Tambo, I prefer the Lounge to SLOW lounge. Greater variety of food, less crowded and better coffee. Although no-one in my family agrees with me on this.

Can you not apply a wicode to totalsports whilst checking out? Trying to buy shoes on special! Keep getting an error, hopefully one of you know how to apply the totalsports voucher... Cheers in advance.

Sigh:

"Totalsports website does not support the Vitality Active Gear benefit. All qualifying purchases need to be made in-store."

How do the active rewards work when travelling to different time zones? Do the daily targets adjust to your new timezone, or do they still work on SA time zones?

I do think Slow gets very busy. OK, so The Lounge for ORT it is then. Thanks. I suppose at King Shaka, it makes little difference.

They have extended their unlimited lounge visits so it's free to try(check your app first) I think it's for platinum and up

Some unsolicited information for y'all.
Same flights. 2 banks.
50% off on Discovery and 40% off eBucks.
Full price differences are rather interesting.
Actually percentages coming off are also interesting.

Are you getting 50% off or 75%?

Are you getting 50% off or 75%?

50% off on Discovery. The most I can get for local flights is 60% off since I only have a black credit card and not the bundle.

Ya was gonna say 1.7 k is quite expensive for discovery. If you got 75% off it will probably be 1k. I can confirm discovery prices for flysafair mirrors their website. Last time they had a sale the same price reflected on discovery travel portal.

I seem to recall that as your fitness device auto changes to the new timezone, the steps/runs are uploaded with that as the timestamp. Seeing discovery allows a few days to upload stats, you should then be covered for your weekly total.

You are correct. The fitness device will update to the new timezone but Discovery will continue to calculate points in ZA time.

E.G. if you’re in a country which is 6 hours behind ZA time, ensure you get your points in by Friday 18:00 in that timezone as Discovery will consider that as the end of the week as it will be 00:00 in ZA.

I checked the discovery app for tickets from JHB to CT return around 830 but prices seemed a little high so I wanted to do some research. I checked cheap flights and prices seemed similar to discovery so I checked discovery again.
I don't know how it works but the flights I wanted were cheaper this time.

Do they serve alcohol at The Lounge?
