Discovery Vitality in 2016

There is a bit of a difference between normal Vitality points and the way that points for Active Rewards work. I'm seeing the same behaviour as Cerebus and the Active Rewards rules does not seem to contradict such.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure I did read somewhere else that the Vitality Rewards allow you to do multiple forms of exercise a day, but it only uploads 1 per type - so if you do 2 gym sessions it only allocates you 1. I have seen the rules SoTrue linked to previously but I'm not sure how current they are to the new Vitality Rewards scheme. Even if they ARE making a mistake and over-rewarding people, there's not much they could do about that if they realized their mistake except change the points going forward. Meanwhile I've had 3 smoothies so far and another one already lined up for next Wednesday.
 
My first weeks goal was 300 then last week was 350 and now 400, will be interesting to see how far it goes up, so far easy obtainable as gym is close by and I use starva once or twice a week.
Smoothie was awesome

Mine is up to 1200 points as the target. It's so hard to get.
 
I use the following devices, Garmin Swim, FR70 and Edge200 and from the looks of it it seems they stack. I will get 150 points for the gym visit and an additional 200 points for the workout uploaded from an device. Discovery states in the small print that normal Vitality rules don't apply in regards to point limitations so from the looks of multiple workouts on the same day may stack.
 
30min and counting to get the dam code. Looks like this will be the first app I give feedback for

What code? New app won't even load for me...

Do I have anything to lose by activating Vitality REwards? i.e. If i activate but then i sit on my backside not achieving any goals, am I penalised in any way now or in future when I might then choose to start trying to achieve my goals?

Yeah it seems to get worse and worse. It actually crashes every single time I load into it from a saved state. Wonder if the iOS app is more stable than Android.
 
I suspect their backend is simply broken and the app relies heavily on whatever DB they run so it also breaks

On another note, 1200 is the max goal, saw it on twitter

Has anyone hit the 1200 mark to confirm though? Some guys at gym were saying they were on 1250!! :/
 
I still dont understand how the points goal is calculated.

My fitness level is rated at level 5 "mean machine" yet my goal per week is still 550?

So from what I understand, each week the points target goes up by 50 points, provided you hit the target

well I'm going to keep an eye on this then. I'm on 550 at the moment and have been since the start when I was level 2 fitness "slow coach"

Either way, easily reaching my goal at the moment and with these 150 points i keep getting for walking about for 30 min or more, it's making it even easier.

Anyone else having issues with the app this morning? It's even slower than its usually extremely slow performance?

Yeah after basically restarting it the whole morning I finally got my voucher. It's pathetic. I can't believe I was once impressed with this app. Well, it has some cool features but its stability is abysmal.

Yeah the app has a lot of potential to be good, its just this extremely slow performance.. possibly too much load on the back end?
