Discovery Vitality in 2016

[Napalm2880]

Discovery is specifically blocking 3rd party app data as of April. So it will sync to Apple health or Garmin, but Discovery will discard that data, at least so they say.

Discovery already discard manually added data points from Apple Health so I'm sure they'll discard 3rd party data as well.

just go with Momentum Multiply

@InternetLuddite, what is your active rewards goal at present?

600 ... so 300 is gonna be a laugh - 1 park run ought to do it

600 ... so 300 is gonna be a laugh - 1 park run ought to do it

Next week it will be 650, or 700....

How did they notify you of this? The app flashed some sort of message regarding that but when i logged in then nothing.

Heh, the offer to buy it at R399 is not too bad.

Help me here, what else do you need besides the strap to make discovery happy? An app? But not Strava

FTFY, vaseline will help you. Polar Beat app will work too...

Same here !

Me too. Such a lame move though - they're just going to grow towards 1200 again, this is just Discovery delaying the massive confrontation and hoping it'll go way #itwon't

I'll take the 300 points goal!

I'll take the 300 points goal!

I'll also take it ... this coming week. We all know what's going to happen over the next few months though.

Anyone actually got there gym boost paid to them after activating it?

 

[phoneJunky]

I have also been expecting a reimbursement for gym booster, but nothing yet.

Yes an App. Polar Beats App with the Heart rate strap/belt specifically is what you should use.

Thanks, I could only see the first line in my pop up, "your vitality rewards goal will drop". Once in the app it says nothing.

If they drop mine to 300 it actually will have gone up effectively for me as my current goal is 500. With HRM at 70-odd % I hit that in two workouts. From tomorrow 300 points goal would take me 3 workouts!

I saw an article on the Discovery website yesterday stating that "...we will be adjusting*Vitality Active Rewards*goals down to*300 points*(unless their current goal is lower).*" https://www.discovery.co.za/portal/individual/vitality-news-mar16-vitality-fitness-points

But yeah, we should probably expect this to triple or quadruple in no time. But I would also take the 300 for this week do that I take it easy

I will most certainly call Vitality on Monday to ask about this cause it's two straight months now meeting all my goals and I don't remember seeing a reimbursement on my Discovery Credit Card statement for March regarding the Gym Booster.
