  1. It was a day of giving back, joined The Trail Riders crew for some tlc on the Helderberg Trails.
  2. Sort of, opened a few weeks ago, join the strava group or Facebook page. Closed this weekend and probably next as well owing to heavy rains.
  3. Creating it would be manual, but your uploading a fit file which as far as I know only garmin uses, but either way it's a file that was generated by a garmin with a garmin device id uploaded to garmin. Assuming you change nothing else they'd be none the wiser.
  4. Yeah, I was sick one weekend, pulled a ride from 3m back, had my 300 in like 30 minutes. Would use these tricks cautiously, but I was just mostly surprised that it actually worked.
  5. What also works is export the fit file from garmin for an old activity, change all the dates and the id in a text editor and upload it back to garmin.
  6. Exactly, multiply without the entire ecosystem, is pretty worthless. Same if you simply rook vitality without any other discovery products. Reward systems are and all in or all out scenario. You either jump into the whole ecosystem or you get little to no value from it. I looked at momentum and well 2 years later I still have not gotten the call back I requested, but my discovery policy costs less and offers more than any similar plans they have. Also for my lifestyle I benefit from the cash back at sportsman's and total sports. Not sure if its changed, but when I checked the only sports reward benefit you got there was virgin and pro golf, and personally I could not think of anything more boring than golf. You need to do some serious deep diving into what you get from a rewards system, how much its going to cost and what hoops you need to jump through for max benefit. Take discovery fuel rewards, I looked into that as 50% is more than the R4 you get from eBucks, discovery however came back at 50% more than my current insurance with higher excesses and more rules and restrictions. Cost as side it's already a loss, but paying R800 more to get back R400 in petrol on stead of R200 still puts me at a R400 loss. I hear many people complaining they get little value from eBucks, or that you cannot get to level 5 without massive debt. I been on level 5 for over 5 years without incurring any debt. Its easy, but each person needs to do Thier own homework. Getting discounts on golf kit has zero benefit to me, does not mean it does not benefit you. Those msas are also a rip off, my policy covers doctor, dentist, physio and chyro at a max Co payment of R100. When I had an msa, 100% of my doctor visit came from the msa, my money, so whats the difference I paying the doc cash vs paying him from my money via discovery. A doctor visit is why I looked at changing plans and momentum, because I walked out after 7 minutes and had a R700 bill and a prescription for R400 worth of Meds, all of which was paid for from my own money, **** all from medical aid. I do the same vait now and it costs me R80 as prescribed Meds are a R10 per Co payment.
  7. How does eBucks force all your egs into 1 basket, its a banking reward system for customers of a bank? Vitality was a medical aid reward system that is now moving all the benefits to a bank with zero information as to how one can atain value from it, other than make a substantial life changing decsison with a level of faith far exceeding that of most religious extremists. At least if you not an fnb client you can hit a site, pull up a calculator and inside of 15 minutes determine if it's worth making a life changing decisions. As for multiply, when I last looked into it, it was pretty ****, the only thing I found of potential benefit was the gym, but they max at 80% and require 13 visits per 3 months. No such things as boosters, cash backs are available from obscure places like the Pro Golf Shop, nothing really mainstream. Pnp benefit is 8x your smart shopper back, which to me seems worthless as 8x nothing is still nothing. Although seeing as I get zero benefit from healthy food as Thier healthy food list is squed to the most expensive options. It's like what's the benefit of getting 25% back on tuna that's 50% more than other tuna. Its often cheaper to not shop on the healthy foods list.
  8. Yeah, when it started it was a manual renewal if u paid by cc, then they took away that option and when you renewed the terms probably had a hidden but about you agreeing to annual automated, debuted renew.
  9. You swear at them after the fact when an unexpected amount goes off your account. I found out from experience, unexpected debit order, I contacted them and asked what it was for and kaked them out after their reply and got refunded. Suppose you could try emailing them now and informing them, but it's in the terms you agreed too.
  10. It's active one the shoes are purchased. You have 30 days from date of payment to buy shoes or forfeit the membership fee. Also not, they do not tell you this but in a year they will automatically take a renewal fee from you regardless of the booster as what you are actually paying for is vitality team.
  11. I have just been given access to the discovery bank, would there be any benefit to having that as a person on eBucks level 5 getting R800 - R1000 a month back in eBucks, the only thing I can see that I would benefit from off the bat is the 25% vitality which well f*** and the healthy gear, but they give no info as to what the hoops are to achieve those? I have emailed them these questions, but I do love how all their marketing blurbs is focused on the POTENTIAL benefits and none of the hidden "costs". Lets think, to get from 25% to the 50% healthy gear, if I need to pay them like 200pm for the account and spend 10k a week on my CC then it's not worth it (total exaggeration).
  12. Spent the weekend up in Hoogekraal learning to ride better with Julien Louw, money very well spent.
  13. Well, if it expired this week, then next week is "the following week"

  15. Further up in the thread, but it's in the next week, so last week a diamond expired, this week I have 2 plays.
  16. Almost my lady's first birthday, so this is her present... Wishing her many many more... [emoji23]
  17. Banhoek, what a great idea... https://www.instagram.com/p/BzTX_iBJCmJ/
  18. Yeah, that thing is horrible, I can only imagine was piss poor manager is making that dev team suffer. I figured out why mine kept crashing, they hard codex chrome as the browser for the authentication and I disable chrome on my device.
  19. That's what discovery says on Thier site. Honestly I think that is daft, why not reward people for being active twice, the entire point of vitality, at least in the marketing is to promote health through activity, so why not let 5hwm get 600 points in a weekend for organised runs, I can get it by being active so why not the starters or the sick. Rather 2 active days than none hey...
  20. You earn 300 points for a park run or a MyRun in the same week, not both. Best case you'd get 300 for the one and 100 for the other unless you actually run and get the 300hr points.
  21. That and the app does not work. Crashes if I try and open an account, on both my phones.
  22. True, but being a tool does not make it the right tool. Nothing wrong with getting the right tool. Honestly, if weight is you'll your concern, the difference between the right tool and the shoe lace is a laxative.
  23. Was practically a summers day come lunch time here in Somerset 5,Helderberg Farm was great, although would be me to find and slide out on the 1 wet clay patch on the way down. [emoji23]
  24. I was thinking of ridding in the afternoon as well, give the water some time to drain, and maybe be less cold. [emoji23]
  25. Endomondo still exists....
