  1. Has anybody done the Hobbit and used camping as accommodation? I see there is three camping options and just need advice as which is the best?
  2. Just head over here and to his book and you will get a good confirmation of what ASA does with the funds and what they neglect to do... https://twitter.com/Joffersmyboy
  3. I can't imagine that cashbacks would count towards the R500. My guess is that it will have to be a deposit. "Points are rewarded monthly for maintaining a minimum daily balance. A deposit of at least R500 every month is also required."
  4. BTW, are Woolworths now a cashback partner or not? In November it was a 12% cashback partner on the Multiply brochure for 2021 but the ladies at Woolworths don't know about it. Edit: I see you have to buy vouchers
  5. There is no argument if it is worth it, we get a lot of benefits and discounts and cashbacks etc (Less then previously, but still a lot) The pain is the changes every single year, then you have to study the things, let it consume your life for a few months, just to repeat the whole process the next January. And throw into that safe day apps that does not work and non travelling days that does not register every January.. But still VERY much worth it!
  6. According to the lady I spoke to at Multiply that cap is still there between the three sections. 240/480 points across the three sections. So if I earn the max active days, safe days and multiply money savings, then you hit that cap, 160+160+160 = 480 for the family. So obviously if I go and do the fitness assessment I will not get points for that, as that is grouped with safe days and I reached the cap. But now that fitness assessment unlocks more safe days, but I won't earn points for that as I reached the above 480 max. How de heck does that makes sense??? It is not grouped/bracketed with the above mentioned things if you look at the guide, the lines there. So why put it in there, I cannot see the reasoning and the calculations working here! For example, in the 2019 points guide on the last page they addressed this max, but there is nothing in the 2021 guide about it, so what is it then?
  7. Yeah I see the points has been juggled quite a bit and it is going to be a challenge again this year. Get cover points max reduced with 320 points, I myself loose out on more than 200 points just here. Tax tim/practitioner gone... Question on the unlocking of more safe days and active days. In the past this was capped together with other limits, so what happened was that even if I unlocked more active days for example with my elite event, it did not earn me more active days as it was capped due to more points under financial already reaching the max for example. Is this different this year in that I can count on those 160 active days points and the 60 safe days points if you do the fitness assessment and the tiger wheel assessment or is there a cap/small print on these again this year? Secondly, I obviously need to do this before I can earn the extra active/safe days. For example I earn my safe days from now till lets say april to reach the max of 160 for the family. Then I continue doing safe days but don't earn anything until I go to tiger wheel. Then after the Tiger visit I will only earn that extra safe days after the assessment, they wont allocate points now for the safe days done since the max until the Tiger assessment? In other words you will have to do the fitness and Tiger assessments early enough in the year to leave enough days to earn the extra days before year end as well, I can't do my fitness assessment in November like this year? Then on the Multiply money... Firstly do I understand it correctly that you need to pay in an additional R500 each month above the balance that already has to be R2000/R5000/R10000? IOW lets say R2000 balance + R500 x 12 = R8,000 at least for the year. Then how do you get that money out again, is the only way swiping the credit card at places other than Clicks or Dischem or can you draw/transfer the money out of the savings wallet again?
  8. Is it again a new year with AGAIN safe day app issues, or is it just myself and my wife's non-travelling safe days that are not recording? The travelling safe days does...
  9. Yup.... https://www.aonijie.info/product-page/aonijie-withwind-5l https://www.aonijie.info/product-page/Aonijiewindrunner10L These are the new ones so no specials currently.
  10. Agreed on the second part, hence we don't have a choice. What I still don't agree with is that we now have to fork out and additional R400 x 2 from this year where it was not needed in the past. The savings are becoming less and less each year.
  11. Bloody hell, it seems I have to make a phone call to my advisor! I must admit you are the first I hear of, everyone I know of have to pay it out of our own pockets.
  12. Also add to it the R400/R500 x 2 Adults, for the test that you now have to pay out of your own pocket! Yes, there is still a few benefits like Makro, online shopping (garmins etc), but the only benefit almost remaining is the discounts on life insurance, which is huge. For that reason I cannot move away, but yes, the benefits is getting less and less and the costs are getting more and more each year! What does the fitness assessment require and I presume it is structured for different age groups obviously?
  13. Is it before end 2020 or before 15/01/2021, I read it as 15/01/2021? Anybody that has done it, what does in require you to do? I guess ours is going to be a bit tricky after we were in some of the best shape of our lives more than a month ago and then covid struck. Since then we barely idle on the doctors recommendation to make sure we don't do any damage to the heart etc. My 71 year old normally fit mother is also in the same boat, so hopefully their fit is less then I normally rate as fit. Like with this fitness assessment nonsense. Yes I know there is people that cheats it. Yes you can cheat 10,000 steps a day, but how do you cheat 300 calories per activity? Comrades = 1 active day.... Why do someone like me that run all my active days (calories) also has to do the fitness test now. That after they moved their focus from customer health to selling more products the last few years. I still have more than enough benefits from Multiply, but it is clear that they make it more difficult each year and the benefits gets less and less each year (Takelot and Edgars in the past year as well). I really hope they do not continue on this shafting the client path in the future, it is all about their products these days... Rant off
  14. Same here, on a 230 with HR strap and 45, with the weirdest being very high spikes and then suddenly it drops back to normal, especially at the beginning or runs and it is NOT cold here anymore. I was even contemplating if my software updates buggered it up Of the two the optical seems the worst.

  16. My google skills are a let down today. What time will the mens london marathon be broadcasted on supersport?
  17. Yup, another year, another vaseline move....
  18. For me the contrary was the solution. After all the resting it just came back. Agreed on the strengthening etc etc, but mileage cut back was the answer for me and also time. Each year gets better. Especially from 3:15 onwards...
  19. Peak training through our winter is going to be fun... NOT
  20. Terrible shame again if this durability is not consistent. Reports from terrible to incredible durable.. No 1
  21. Has anybody been able to import SARS data into tax tim? I'm on the third persons profile that does not import the Sars data automatically, it just says the server is very slow and whatever. Tax tim is really a bit of a pain and to load all the details manually is a bit more of a pain!
  22. That is the new Peregrines? OMW!!!
