DStv and Discovery Bank have announced that customers will receive double their \u00d0iscovery Miles rewards until the end of June.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Discovery announced on Thursday that, for the seven weeks between 11 May and 30 June 2026, customers will receive up to 50% back on their DStv subscriptions as a special offer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Discovery Bank announced DStv as a rewards partner<\/a> in November 2025, offering clients up to 25% back in \u00d0iscovery Miles on their DStv packages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Initially, the company announced that customers would earn miles when they pay their DStv debit orders from a Discovery Bank account from December 2025 to March 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Discovery said at the time that, starting in the second quarter of 2026, DStv decoder customers paying by card would also receive 25% back in \u00d0iscovery Miles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Only those who subscribe to DStv Stream services would have received the 50% \u00d0iscovery Miles rewards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, this has since been amended, with DStv Stream and decoder customers now qualifying for the 50% reward, whether they pay by debit order or card.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At current prices, a DStv Stream Premium customer who pays R799 per month will receive R399.50 back in Discovery Miles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPartnering with Discovery to give our customers such great value is an obvious choice,\u201d said Willington Ngwepe, CEO of the MultiChoice LicenceCo in South Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although MultiChoice Group is wholly-owned by French media conglomerate Groupe Canal+, to comply with regulations, a South African entity had to be spun out to hold the local broadcasting services licence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through MultiChoice Group, Canal+\u2019s shareholding in LicenceCo gives it a 49% economic interest, while restricting its voting rights to 20%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDStv customers who bank with Discovery will now earn up to 50% of the cost of their subscription back in Discovery Miles to spend on whatever they want while they tune in for FIFA World Cup 2026,\u201d said Ngwepe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDStv is really making this the most accessible World Cup ever.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To qualify for the rewards, Discovery said customers must be the primary account holder of a Transaction Account, a Discovery Bank Credit Card Account, or a Discovery Bank Suite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They must have an account in good standing, make their DStv subscription payment from a qualifying Discovery Bank account, and meet the qualifying spend rules at the time of the transaction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Payments must be processed directly through an official DStv platform, including DStv.com, the MyDstv App, WhatsApp, Pay on TV, or another approved DStv payment method.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Qualifying payments include recurring card payments, consistent month-to-month card payments made through DStv self-service platforms, and debit orders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Customers must have an active Vitality Money status to qualify and meet the minimum monthly qualifying spend on their Discovery Bank card.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The dynamic Discovery Bank DStv reward percentage is based on the product each participant has, their engagement with Vitality Money, and their accumulated qualifying spend in the current month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is a monthly threshold of R979 for Discovery Bank Credit Card Account or Discovery Bank Suite accounts and R479 for Discovery Bank Transaction accounts, which applies over a calendar month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The transaction amount must be R99 or more to be eligible for the Discovery Bank DStv reward. You must also maintain your monthly DStv package and not have a gap between payments of more than 35 days.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
