shaper Posted January 9, 2015 Posted January 9, 2015 So what happens if you crash early in the season and trash the cycling jersey?... you have to buy another one so that you can get the discounts? So impractical as it currently stands and sounds... So I will wait to see what comes out in the launch and then decide whether to take it up this year, or wait till next year till all the issues have been sorted
paul_ct Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 So glad you chaps are doing all the homework - thank you!
BikerBob Posted January 18, 2015 Posted January 18, 2015 I too think Team Discovery was not thought out properly. Such a great idea but some questions ... and we are well into the new year
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted January 18, 2015 Posted January 18, 2015 I too think Team Discovery was not thought out properly. Such a great idea but some questions ... and we are well into the new year And you're forgetting that it hasn't been launched yet.
arendoog Posted January 18, 2015 Posted January 18, 2015 Yet another way of Discovery to get their hands on the cash of the healthy population that never claim so they have bigger profits .You will never see a Discovery ad involving an elderly person being active for their health
shaper Posted January 18, 2015 Posted January 18, 2015 By the sounds of it, it seems to have changed from Team Discovery to Club Discovery with having to wear the shirt to get the benefits etc.... Rather than being an add on benefit for being a Discovery member
BBN Posted January 18, 2015 Posted January 18, 2015 (edited) So, if I'm doing stage races, do I get three, four, five, six, seven Discovery jerseys or doI have to wear the same one for several days??!! Edited January 18, 2015 by BBN
Frosty Posted January 18, 2015 Posted January 18, 2015 So, if I'm doing stage races, do I get three, four, five, six, seven Discovery jerseys or doI have to wear the same one for several days??!!If you have just one shirt, like they mention, then you must wear it like a normal shirt on day 1, inside-out on day 2, and no shirt on day 3. Sorry, couldn't resist. N.B. based on the how to wear your jocks when you only have a pair left, when away from home.
Kim Truter Fouche Posted January 18, 2015 Posted January 18, 2015 Just a heads up - this is only for adult dependents on the medical aid - not for children under 18
CAAD4 Posted January 18, 2015 Posted January 18, 2015 So, if I'm doing stage races, do I get three, four, five, six, seven Discovery jerseys or doI have to wear the same one for several days??!!Where did you see stage races on their list of events?
Juriekruger Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 Received a mail from Discovery today about the Team vitality. They provided a list of events http://www.discovery.co.za/email_za/mailers/pdfs/general/team_vitality_race_calendar.pdf They also mention that your joining fee will include a CSA license.
WezGK Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 (edited) So just got an email from Discovery: Team Vitality starts beginning Feb- first race is The Herald... the events list looks half the size though... doesn't look very interesting anymore with some big ones not included: Ie, IM 70.3, 5150 Bela bela/Ekhuruleni, Lost City, Tour Durban.... Edited January 21, 2015 by WezGK
Schnavel Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 (edited) Haha this is a joke! They have removed the majority of the events that they were promising. You're going to struggle to even earn your R900 back. Over promising and under delivering Edit: spelling Edited January 21, 2015 by Schnavel
bigjoe Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 Have to agree. 2 cycling races for the year in gauteng, 3 including satellite. You wont even get your team fees back, let alone the max spend of R12000 that they brag about. No triathlon events. Such a huge let down after the initial hype. Thanks but no thanks. Will stay with my existing clubs....and at least have the opportunity to cycle, run with a group.
shaper Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 Agree it's a joke now and not worth taking up, most of the cycle races have disappeared... So you really paying for a kit and some vouchers you may or may not use... Also just got the mail... Rather disappointing!
Juriekruger Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 Have to agree this is rather disappointing. 2 races that I was planning to do. But for cycling it includes you CSA license which is R140, shirt that is maybe R200 and some vouchers. Also found this in their FQA doc if it was still up in the air and someone is not sure. If you activated your Team Vitality benefit for cycling, this will include your cyclinglicense. We will apply for a license on your behalf. Cyclists must have a license if theywant to participate in races. We will apply for the standard CSA license, as well as yourprovincial levy, not an elite or age group license. If you want to upgrade your license,you can do this on the CSA website. If you already belong to a club, you do not have toresign from this club. Once we have received your CSA license number you will receiveall the necessary details via email. You can then print your license from the CSA website,after which you are exclusively part of Team Vitality. You must wear your Team Vitalitycolours when you participate in races. Sponsored riders are allowed to race insponsored kit. point #45 in here https://www.discovery.co.za/portal/discovery_coza/web/linked_content/pdfs/vitality/team_vitality/team_vitality_faqs.pdf
