RocknRolla Posted November 6, 2014 Share they want you to pay them to potentially save money on events.... Actuary: A clever way to remove money from your account, by thinking you are benefitting..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pure Savage Posted November 6, 2014 Share they want you to pay them to potentially save money on events.... Actuary: A clever way to remove money from your account, by thinking you are benefitting..... It is the exact same thing for all vitality products, if you dont use it, you lose out. But if you do you gain. Same with gym with the blue silver gold and diamond status, all the blues pay for diamond. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted November 6, 2014 Share Very clever actuarily devised marketing.Yeah. Chances are that the majority of those who take it up will it utilise the benefit. You also have to consider that the contribution pays your CSA and running club fees for you as well, so the actual cost is more along the lines of 300 per year. When you factor in the cost of clothing etc, then it'd probably be a net zero or even a loss. Â It's essentially aimed at getting more people to compete or take part in these sorts of things. Actuarially speaking, the more active you are, the less of a health risk you are to them. There are outliers, of course, but by taking part you're essentially saving THEM money in the long run. Plus people feel as if they're getting a tangible benefit from Vitality, so they're less likely to lapse their policies which again saves them money (quite a bit of it in fact) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well thats what the cynic in me says, cause aint no way this company is giving anything for free, short, medium, or long term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rad006 Posted November 7, 2014 Share So if a Enter a race I get 50% back, but they take it from my MSA which gets finished in 3 months from medical expense so basically they just take more money from me???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted November 7, 2014 Share So if a Enter a race I get 50% back, but they take it from my MSA which gets finished in 3 months from medical expense so basically they just take more money from me????Nope. They give it back to you. Nothing to do with the health side, except that you can only have vitality if you're on discovery life ir health.

Do they pay CSA for my licence fees in their R600 startup fee? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
