Frosty Posted January 9, 2020 Share I ended up on 490 points after yesterday’s 3 plays, so I’ll probably go for a combination of Dis-Chem and Kauai vouchers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven Knoetze (sk27) Posted January 13, 2020 Share So you get half of what you previously received. Just imagine if, for example Vodacom, did that.12 months into a 24 month cell contract they notified you that they will be halving your minutes and data for the same premium. Wonder what the response would be to that....... Dexter-morgan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As such we don't pay for them You have said many times you are anti-discovery and are out of their system.... so see no reason why you keep coming on here and bashing them... starts to make you look bitter!! Many of us are on discovery for other reasons, the rewards are just bonus and tbh a bit of fun and something for nothing... which is a lot better than some other medical aids that give you nothing for the onset.

I hear you, and I still have other Discovery products which is why I still lurk. For me, it was the rewards and what I could get back for my premium that had me join Vitality. Maybe the wrong reasons to begin with and I left because I never got what I thought I would, and with the changes would get even less.I have taken your criticism though and will rather not comment on any Vitality matters going forward. slickjay007, shaper and Vetplant 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frosty Posted January 13, 2020 Share As our resident broker/guru on Bikehub has said, more than once... Vitality Active Rewards was aimed at the couch potatoes to get them active, and not so much the minority that are fit and healthy. I’d expect that as more people become fitter, and claim less on their medical aid, the less we’ll see in the form of rewards.

Frosty Posted January 13, 2020 Share And some people are not getting how the new system works: 1. 100 miles for achieving weekly goal + 1 play2. A bonus play for those that achieve all 3. 100 miles / 6 = 15.xThe previous minimum play was 25, but I haven’t seen the value for any play (yet).A few people are only seeing the 100 miles they get and not the play - that could yield more miles. Edit: the divide by 6 was the conversion of old points to miles. The new system is 10 Disco Miles = R1.00 so 100 points for achieving a goal equals R10.00 to spend. However, the game board will have something extra available, so the perceived lower value by only counting the 100 miles is wrong.

It is what it is now, I am waiting to see what happen on wed (I assume when we get to perform the first play) and then again next week, to see what is going to happen. Currently I have not moved over to the new Disc Bank. We have had some benefits from vitality before so continued using it this year, the weekly rewards is a bonus.

Frosty Posted January 14, 2020 Share I have already received 100 miles for both the Bank and Drive goals. Hopefully I get true Health one today as I wasn’t able to work out last night. Then tomorrow is merely a chance to play the game board and see how the new system works. shaper and LeoKnight 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craai Posted January 15, 2020 Share Let me be the first (this morning) to say that the new rewards are absolutely lame. Previously, at minimum, I would get 3 x 25 = R75 worth of rewards, this morning I have 300 for making all targets 210 for the gameplays. Brings us to a whole 510 = R51Ho hum Steven Knoetze (sk27), ChrisF and Pieterlab1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ridr Posted January 15, 2020 Share Same same but different.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ridr Posted January 15, 2020 Share Minimum of 50 miles, max of 100 per play + 100 instant miles for each goal achieved per week. Not quite the same value as before, but still a nice added bonus on top of all the other benefits I receive for living my life like I would normally live it anyway.

Yeah, you got an awesome R11 + R20 there. Don’t spend it all at once.(To put that in perspective, last week that would have been 2 x 25 = R50 at minimum) Edited January 15, 2020 by Craai Pieterlab1 and Steven Knoetze (sk27) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
