Oh sorry to bother..... I'm just a fun (tar) rider, we get a bit more than just a sticker :-)

What's the sticker for Bennie ?? Can I have 1 of them (to save me a trip) ?

Hey G, Why you making it cold this weekend. I see the weather forecast for Sunday morning is around 6 degrees ???? BRRRRRR Like the wind was't enough you bring the cold into it as well ???

Yip, I heard after I posted that 2 people had won. @shaper I also have trained for many years without getting anything back from Vitality. I do however get free membership to 1 x VA as long as I meet my yearly goal. Would still continue to train even if they did away with the incentive. Definitely wouldn't spend R50 or R100 a week on smoothies. IMO rewards in general are there to lure people (Vitality, eBucks, etc) and once they created enough awareness they start to pull back little by little.

But you won't get a R100 voucher every 3rd week. The spins will be calculated to only pay out what in their budget. Yes somebody will eventually win the holiday but by that time Vitality would have saved double or triple the money. At R50 a smoothie we were getting 6 for a 3 week cycle = R300 Now even if you get the R100 voucher you still short: 3 x R50 smoothies + R100 voucher = R250 They made it sound like it so much better but they screwing us. They must have taken some lessons from our current government but managed to put more sugar on it,

So under the new system in a 3 week cycle we'll get 4 x smoothies instead of 6. But have the chance of getting a voucher / holiday / etc instead of that 4th smoothie. I think we can conclude that the surprise spin reward will be mainly the normal stuff (smoothies, coffee, popcorn, etc). There might be some R100 vouchers but there's no way that they loose when "adding" everything together. In the grand scale they'll be saving money.

I spun and got the normal options of a smoothie, coffee, etc. Once the team rewards fall away we'll only get the 2nd reward every 3rd week (assuming that the goals are met each week) ?

Who's the R100 voucher for ?

You right I do have my wires crossed - apologies. Will give you a wave when I see you and your clan at your Friday coffee stop. 'Kaze Pete has moved to the sticks. You Frosty, you just in the next City but I often see you in my City

You logging double the data ? You wanted to move to the sticks - now you have no smoothies. You could always do a ride to the closest VA and get a smoothie or 2.

I'll swap you 4 x smoothies ??

We'll have to start a separate thread for Vitality bartering Swap coffee vouchers for smoothie ones (I don't drink coffee) A few coffee / smoothie vouchers for the shopping rewards (whatever they maybe) Guess nobody will be giving up the holiday (if the win it).

From Vitality: You’re one goal away from a goal streak! You have three days to go to hit your third consecutive goal to be one of the first in South Africa to earn a surprise reward. If you achieve your fitness goal streak this week, you’ll be able to spin the Vitality Active Rewards wheel on Wednesday, 11 October for a surprise reward. Surprise rewards range from coffees, smoothies and shopping rewards to dream international holidays including 7 days in Mauritius or return flights to Australia and New Zealand. Who else will be spinning next week ?

So glad to hear that so many people are out. I'm IN !!!! The only thing that I already don't do is class workouts but that's easy enough to do. As a roadie I have very little interest in doing the Epic (and everybody would laugh at my MTB) but if I'm able to sell the entry then it's all good (obviously will have to win it 1st).

Maybe they gave you major points for having the baby Might have even got triple points if it was a natural birth For me the new APP is working. My rewards are loading, the digital cards are loading. Seems they've done away with the function where you can see how many points you got for an activity (think it was called Activity racking ???)

Now it's completely up to the individual. They only thing is that if the individual doesn't achieve their target for week then the 2nd smoothie (surprise prize) is out the window for the next 2 weeks until they achieve their targets 3 weeks in a row again. (that's the way I understand it).

and that is exactly what they want (will also benefit you).

surprise reward, which gives you the opportunity to win coffees and smoothies, shopping rewards, gadgets and even dream international holidays (the shopping rewards, gadgets and holidays are probably going to be very few) I think that it will just roll, hence the team rewards only stop at the end October. If you meet your goal every week you'll still get 2 x rewards (coffee or smoothies) but if you miss a week then you'll probably only get the 2nd coffee / smoothie on the 3rd week again.

So now the rewards are just up to you the individual ? On the email they also say that soon we'll be able to add an unlimited number of friends to compete against. So competition to get people moving... I see that it's a lot faster to get to the actual reward than it was before. Maybe it's because they deleted all my digital cards.

How will it be positive if your team never achieves it's goal ?

Hopefully they read my complaints here last week and have fixed their crap app with the update. My friends have been shuffled around and their photos only appear sometimes. Nothing too serious though.

What's your plan with the wind this year G ? You seem to be the master of making race routes with a serious wind factor. Can you please be kind to us fun riders ? Will even buy you a cup of coffee at your Friday spot.

So you were involved i the design ???

The problem with Discovery is that they have too much happening. Their website is pretty much the same. To find anything specific is normally a mission. All the info is there but to find it

You saying they even worse ??
