Do they still use YOUR credit facility to fund the watch?

My understanding: it’s a 24 month gig. Every month you need to reach your goal. If you don’t meet it in that one month, you pay what would be the monthly amount.

Discovery literally say: “If you don’t meet your exercise goals, your credit card will be deducted by a monthly penalty amount”.

The facilities is a means to ensure you don’t default. You don’t “buy” the watch upfront - you only pay the activation fee and they debit if you don’t meet your goals.

Maybe it was iPhones they did it with, I had a colleague who got an iPhone on one of these Vitality deals, they loaded the full value of the iPhone on the budget portion of his CC and then he got paid back monthly.
 
The Garmin incentive is nice but you don't really get a top of the range device for R8k

yes iphone worked like that Was like having a seperate credit card just for the iphone on your account that you had to pay off or got paid off with your rewards if you achieved the goals. The watch is different.Charges you once a month.

Is there a place that does trade-ins on Garmin watches? With Apple Watches, I started with the low end model that was free, and after the contract ended, used the trade-in value to move up to something a bit fancier than what Vitality gives for free.

Slowly, slowly, seeing if I can get to the top of the range without paying.
 
This past Monday I changed my primary partner for healthycare from Clicks to Dis-Chem and right before I made the change I was on 25% for Clicks and 10% for Dis-Chem.

After the change I am now on 10% for both. Is this some sort of glitch or is there an extra hoop or two I need to jump through now to get back to 25%? I've done my vitality health check and vitality age, my healthyfood is on 25% with Woolworths...

My HealthyBaby percentage at BabyCity was showing 25% as well after I changed but with this stupid convoluted website I can't find that page right now.

Edit: Or do I perhaps have to wait till the new month to get 25% at Dis-Chem?

They are. One can argue their use of plain English is bad. I know I’m not the smartest, but the wording on the KAUAI instant reward always foxes me.

I believe with the Kauai reward, you can either get a small hot drink or a discount on a meal (like a wrap/bowl).

I used to do that before they started giving us miles. I always just take the miles now and never use the instant reward.

Despite the bad wording, I think it's get a 'free' hot drink AND get a discounted wrap/meal. That's how the 'free' smoothie reward works, I always get the discounted meal with the smoothie to maximise the value. Of course one can argue all their stuff is overpriced and all we are getting via Vitality Rewards is the privilege of paying a fair price for Kauai food items.
 
has any one seen any further indication when the new garmin watch benefit is launching?
 
Anyone joined Team Vitality Cycling for R1200 and how is the free gear?1772618024499.png

Oh yes, what I am saying is that Discovery has not actually started using the data yet though? They said Q1, its about to be Q2.

I just find with sleep that it is not like exercise where I can make an effort. If I have a bad night for 2/3 nights how do I fix that up, drink a bottle of whisky?
