Discovery Health - Vitality & Team Vitality plus everything else you need to know


Recommended Posts

Hi.

 

Just saw a mail from discovery stating that for R 600 per year for cyclists they will pay back 50% of entry fees to races up to R3000 per quarter.

 

Anyone have some more info or inside info whether this will be every race, ppa, lights by lines etc we enter. If so I could.be a lot wealthier next year!! This is like PPA but on crack.

That blurb is what I got emailed this morning. I just cannot see if they going to select associated events, or just all cycle events. If all cycle events then I am very excited! Don't have medical aid with them only life, car insurance and credit card

Great! So if I enter say Knysna 300(R3 960), Gravel and Grape (R2 400), Dr Evil Classic (R2 850) and Berg and Bush (R4 400) I stand to get back R5 625 for the year? 

Now to start planning my leave for 2015!

Pretty much I think from what it says, up to a maximum R3000 per quarter, might not be as much back as you think, as some of those races are over R3000.. but could be a good chunk of it paid back if the races are on their selected list

It does say selected events so Im pretty sure it will only be ones sponsored by discovery or the races they endorse that would give vitality points for completing them.

Do they sponsor any races? They are asking R600, doubt anyone would join if there were only a few races.

this is going to be a branding marketing excercise,  as many people as possible riding in discovery kit at "selected races".  We get race discounts, (but you will have to race more than 8 times, @R200 a race, a year to recover the R600).

 

If stage races are on the calander then you will score.

Sounds good. It would be sneaky of them to provide points for almost all races and not have them all in their 'list'.

 

I haven't done any race that was not in their list of outdoor events. I must say, the person who updates it is quite clued up.  :thumbup:
