dracs Posted October 20, 2015 Posted October 20, 2015 I am accidently in the market for a club, emailed Club 100 and apparently the deal between Club 100 and Team Vitality was teminated. They are now two seperate clubs.Just thought I would mention it.I hadn't heard this - did a bunch of rides with club 100 a few months back and 80% of the guys had migrated to vitality kit etc... As for value - for me definitely - definitely paid for the membership fees by now - and more to come - will get 50% bak on this weekend duathlon, 50% on 94.7 entry etc. Plus have enjoyed their hospitality at a number of races I've done this year.

Lexx Posted October 20, 2015 Posted October 20, 2015 How does the kit look like. Also thinking of joining team Vitality?
raptor-22 Posted October 20, 2015 Posted October 20, 2015 Black and orange. There's often adds in the bicycling depicting the kit Lexx 1
raptor-22 Posted October 20, 2015 Posted October 20, 2015 Team vitality are now setting up ride captains to get its members together. Called them last week and they were holding first aid training for ride captains. Looks promising for next year.
Firozfx Posted October 20, 2015 Posted October 20, 2015 Is there any way to track the cash back? I'm 90% certain I got more back than the R600 paid to join Team Vitality
raptor-22 Posted October 20, 2015 Posted October 20, 2015 Check your bank account. They also send notification via sms. Other than that.... No
Balkan_Rider Posted October 20, 2015 Posted October 20, 2015  Here is what it says on the discovery website You can earn up to 50% cash back on the pre-race registration fees up to a maximum spend of R3 000 each quarter, and up to R12 000 in a calendar year. This means you can earn up to R1 500 cash back (50% of R3 000) in a quarter, and up to R6 000 a year. To qualify for cash backs on race registration fees, please take note of the following: The event must be one of the selected, timed events on the Team Vitality race calendar that qualifies for either a 25% cash back or a 50% cash back.You must have completed the event.You must be a Team Vitality member at the time the cash back is awarded.You will get up to either 25% or 50% cash back on the pre-race registration fee only (the cash back does not apply to the additional fee if you register late or to T-shirts, promotional items, donations, temp licenses, etc.).Visit ‘Claim points for outdoor sporting events’ on our website.Choose the event and fill in your race number, finishing time and other details.Follow the instructions to claim your points for the race.Cash back will be awarded after you complete the online form and we can verify that you have completed the event.
RockSpider85 Posted October 20, 2015 Posted October 20, 2015 The partnership was terminated in August 2015, probably why you have not heard. I will be joining club 100 and i only have to pay them to join.  I hadn't heard this - did a bunch of rides with club 100 a few months back and 80% of the guys had migrated to vitality kit etc... As for value - for me definitely - definitely paid for the membership fees by now - and more to come - will get 50% bak on this weekend duathlon, 50% on 94.7 entry etc. Plus have enjoyed their hospitality at a number of races I've done this year.
Tubehunter Posted October 21, 2015 Posted October 21, 2015 Looks like the calender is filling up now! Stellenbosch Cycle Tour, DC, CWC Durbie Dash, Heals on wheels all on the calender for races coming up. Obviously you wont be able to claim cash back for these as most will have already entered, but it certainly seems like there's enough races to claim back the activation costs in entry fees, get a decent ftech shirt and at some events enjoy some post race hospitality!  I'll be joining shortly and see how it goes into the new year...

We have entered in all of those events already... Not keen on the shirt. Edited October 22, 2015 by Pure Savage
raptor-22 Posted October 21, 2015 Posted October 21, 2015 (edited) You only get cash back on the events they mark as eligible. So far as I can see its only 94.7 MTB Challenge94.7 Cycle Tour ChallengeNissan trail seeker #5 Diamond RushStellenbosch Cycle Tour  You can claim points against the other listed events nce you have completed them but only cash back on those listed as cash back at 25% or 50%  that's how I understand it...which may be flawed Edited October 21, 2015 by raptor-22
Tubehunter Posted October 21, 2015 Posted October 21, 2015 Will consider it in Jan 2016. I have entered in all of those events already... Not keen on the shirt. How did you get an entry for "Heels on wheels"...?    Yeah, I'll be joining now, so that I can claim entries back for 99er and the rest of the Jan and Feb races in the run up to the August, errr CTCT!

Tubehunter Posted October 21, 2015 Posted October 21, 2015 Rephrase.... I'll be joining in the new year. Gotta read all the print ekse... No point in joining now, so that I have to pay again in Jan! From their Guidelines PDF: You will have access to this benefit until the end of the calendar year in which you joined. You will have to activate the benefit at the beginning of each calendar year if you want to remain part of the Team Vitality movement. The benefit will end if your Discovery Vitality membership is no longer active.
dracs Posted October 22, 2015 Posted October 22, 2015 The partnership was terminated in August 2015, probably why you have not heard. I will be joining club 100 and i only have to pay them to join. Yep did a little research and gather Club100 wanted a sponsorship (so wanted to keep their Club100 identity), and Vitality wanted a takeover... Fair enough for both parties, but pity from my point of view as the club100 rides are really convenient for me... Will be interesting to see what they set up in terms of group rides... raptor-22 1
Rudi Pollard Posted October 22, 2015 Posted October 22, 2015 Where can I get a list of the events that qualified for cash back during the year?
