Please read my post again and pay attention that nowhere did I even mention TomTom devices nor compare them to garmin. All I'm getting is you, a seemingly zealous garmin fanboy, saw a chance to exaggerate what I said, jump to conclusions. I'm well aware of the devices on the market and agree that easily 3 or 4 out of 5 replacement options are likely to be taken up by garmin, but if you're in the business of making money, that still isn't good enough. As for the bolded part, far as I'm aware, Garmin, like all other product sales companies, are in the business of making money. So your question over why Garmin would care is a no brainer - you can never have enough marketing and sales promotions. SInce you love examples so much, look at what Coca Cola does. So what if you think garmin is better than tomtom, polar, fitbit, huawei, suunto, whatever, the fact that they simply exist and some even growing, is physical proof that the competition is strong. Complacency can easily damage or end a company.

and as usual, garmin SA doing sweet blue bugger all instead of jumping on this opportunity to boost marketing and trade-in promotions. Or perhaps Discovery placed some red tape preventing them from doing such things due to device booster arrangements?

Mr Mayhem, just curious, am I right to assume that there are no repercussions for discovery clients that cancel vitality as long as they don't have things like life policies, but only medical aid? I'm guessing yes, but don't know for sure. I'm starting to think Discovery wins mostly when a person signs up for vitality. They keep taking the same medical aid premiums, in spite of a presumably healthier member. In return the member gets some discounts that they have to juggle and work for most of the time. May as well just pay the medical aid price and stick vitality to them if you're not doing it for gym/devices etc?

I'm not sure which one did the trick - at first I uploaded that half A5 size dis chem invoice thing that gets stapled to everything that looks like a box, along with the receipt, then separetely a photo of the box with the sticker on. I'm sorry, unfortunately I'm not sure which one did the trick. My guess would be the first one, since that is a printout of stored computer information.

I purchased mine from the dis chem dispensary, took it home to apply diy, went onto the app and submitted a points claim and uploaded the required image, received the points 2-3 days later.

I've literally said the exact same thing on this thread a while ago It was supposed to be a source of education more, imo. Nothing wrong with "enjoying the banter" like you said, but I hope you take some of this serious and learn from it. If you grow as a person and rider, I may just end up following your stuff again.

Your suggestion is literally the opposite of what the Everesting website calls for - to preferably find new hills and not copy hills already conquered. Sure it doesn't mean someone can't go through all the trouble to fly there, but its not "in the spirit of everesting". pointless trolling hey

this ^^^ had me thinking this ^^^

Fascinating... thank you Buff! I'm impressed by the result on the seat as well

I have a great appreciation for quality restoration work and yours seem to fit the bill. If you don't mind me asking, what do you use to clean/sexify the smaller intricate metal parts?

Finally a post without attitude and profanity - I could actually read all of that without cringing too much. The bolded part highlights weak victim blaming though. A lot of extreme crimes can be validated with that same irrational reasoning. I don't support <insert illegal activity here>, but I understand why people do <insert illegal activity here> and have no problem with that. Regardless, I will be working on my motorbike sunday and perhaps shooting the air rifle a bit - perhaps I'll think of your attempt and maybe just smile. Good luck and I look forward to seeing numbers!

not sure if I'm late to answer, but ASG is still very active and there's a great bunch of people to help at the ASG Store in Olympus, Pretoria. They are definitely growing, at least around that region.

I'm a new vitality member since jan 2019 and they already frustrate me a lot. They send email correspondence to other people instead of myself (how even???), almost one week per month tends to not record points properly and require me to perform admin to make sure it applies correctly, there were some other irregular gremlins too, but so far its been a lot more wasted time on admin than I ever anticipated.

It started working like you said, but only half right. Saturday's and Sunday's activities are still indicating "pending" but the activities during the week showed fine. I did send a query but nothing so far. Anyone else still getting noyesno results?

Has anyone else been experiencing Vitality points issues? Every activity since the 13th says "pending" and my active rewards goal became 0

To everyone who gave opinions and advice a few weeks ago when I asked about running shoes - thank you! I've bought the Brooks Ghost 11 since and am very happy with them. Everything they were described to be- fast feeling high drop, wide toe box, flexible, enough padding to feel like they absorb harder impacts. Running is great!

Sounds like a glitch from a vitality group thing? I didn't even know they sent sms's for achieving fitness goals, thought only app notifications!

What Eddy says, but also consider running the shorter loop in repeats. I'd advise you have emergency numbers ready (assuming there is signal?!) because puff adders and warm tar! There is a troop or two of active baboons too, not to discourage, just a warning to have a glance to your sides before pulling out a lekker stukkie droewors or chocolate Or is it just monkeys that attack people for scavengable food?

No need to imagine, since that's what it used to be. I had several different camps in the SBR reserve area and adjacent kareekloof when I was a toddler.

just, yes

Just sharing this article on a study of "dehumanised cyclists". I think it's something most people on a bicycle between cars know and experience, but this just puts it in words: https://www.qut.edu.au/news?id=141968

Thank you all for the insight, Shaper, lechatnoir, SeaBee, Reme

Shaper posted an interesting article on running at or below aerobic threshold while training for peak gains - a link to the post: https://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/153222-cyclists-with-a-running-problem/?p=3478916 What I'm wondering, is without training daily, which I suppose could work with zone 2 training etc, but how do you reach 900/1200 weekly vitality points when most exercises will be awarding 100 points, perhaps 200 for longer exercises if even. Only solution I can think of is to still squeeze in some 80% hr exercises for both points and... conditioning, I guess. What do you all think? Starting to sound to me like Vitality just want people to exercise hard and save them some money in sickness and what else, not encourage people to be smart athletes? I personally only joined vitality for the flights and gear discounts really - never thought for a second that they'd know what performance training really entails.

okay that messes with things a huge bit haha

Yea, I forgot the 15/25% is based on the R4000. My point remains all the same, spend the R425 and you can increase your cash backs to R400 + any extras for a year.
