What about those of us not staying in a metropolitan area where 90% of the Vitality benefits mean jack...?

Discovery member, quit vitality years ago.
Shop in Woolies, not PnP.
Don't go gym, have beach to run on.
R92 x 12 = R1104.
How much do you spend to get R200 back pm???

Indeed.
I'm sorry, but you are not covered for any pills or operations, but we can give you 10 gigs of local only bandwith for free.
hahaha. But...i think its a positive move. I don't see anything wrong in having every second company offering broadband. Just imagine mid next year if everything goes to plan and we have a free for all price competition war. It is almost setting itself up like that with all the fibre and what not going on.
Cybersmart offers a 1GB All inclusive account R169 including a Mecer DSL Modem, and dont come with that crap that their service is unreliable, ive been using them for the past 2 years with no Problems. Kudos to Cybersmart

Why don't you try reading the article before posting?
If you want free local it's R65 a gig.

Not defending discovery but their different plans clearly state what you are and what you arent covered for?

yes they do
maybe my maths is a bit wonky
Spent: R92 x 12 = R1104
Saved: R200 x 12 = R2400
Is that not a win?

Then I would guess you are not a Vitality member?
.. and I would guess that this thread doesn't really concern you then?

Then I guess you don't need to worry about this offering. It is for Vitality members only.
The odd R200 a month is 6% of my food bill... so we are buying groceries to the value of at least R1700.00 a month at Pick and Pay. Why, is that a lot?

Only if you have the discovery credit card with the very high yearly renewal fee and extreme interest rates.

It is pointless Peter, most of them will never see the light... a marketer's dream they are!

The annual card fee is R290.00 for the Gold card.
The Discovery Miles option adds another R195.00
Cash back from Pick and Pay purchases (not counting all the other partners stores) = R200 a month X 12 = R2400 per annum.
Miles Earned from purchases = approx. R2000 per annum
and that is not all the benefits alone... just two of them.
The Finance fees are the same as for a regular FNB credit card.(but I pay my card off completely every month anyway, so I don't pay much in finance fees)
... and from February 2009, we now get 25% discount on all "health food" purchases at Pick and Pay as well.
... so I don't get how you see this as a bad thing?
jealousy maybe?
If anyone is serious about taking the Vitality thing to its fullest extent there is a ton of ways you save. Movie tickets for R8 each at Junction cinemas (for a family of 5 that's a savings of at least R60 EVERY time I go to the movies). I know may of you say.. .but I don't do this.. .and I don't do that... that's fine... nobody is forcing you to. But for those who want to save on these options there are indeed some VERY VERY good savings to be had.

They are not entering the DSL market, it's just another option to ad value to Vitality. IS is handling all the Internet stuff. If you going to look at it your way then they are in the airline industry, gym industry, magazine industry etc. They are just offering discounts through other companies.
