Mats Posted December 31, 2015 Share I have kept a close eye on my points for the last month and a half.Almost every week there was some kind of problem, with the exception of last week.So this week is no different.Again points are missing. And another query logged with discovery. To move up from silver to gold status I currently short 380 points.This makes me wonder how many points did I miss out on during the year.I do not really want to do the recon as it will be a hell of an exercise.

Have you done all your health checks, online assessments etc ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you done all your health checks, online assessments etc ? I have given up.I used to be on diamond.About 2 years ago I did the assessment of blood pressure, sugar and cholesterol. Discovery even paid the bill. Somewhere along the line someone bliksemed my results out of their car window.I had more than 20 different query numbers, spend hours on the phone with them After 6 months of getting nowhere slowly. I gave up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife often goes there to sort out issues and they usually get resolved then and there. The walk in staff seem to be quite competent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fanievb Posted January 1, 2016 Share Did an easy 50k ride this morning. Discovery reckons it's vigorous exercise and sommer gave me 3000 points. I'd like to see the points for a proper training ride Pieterlab1, jonnow, mecheng89 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I gave up.You have to do the health assessment every 12 months, so results from 2 years ago will no longer apply. Do you claim points for all your outdoor events entered and completed? (like the 94.7) https://www.discovery.co.za/portal/individual/vitality-outdoor-fitness-selfcaptureYou get points over an above what is recorded via your garmin/hrm, up to 3000 per event. Attached the 2016 points allocation for all assessments and if you just follow how to get to gold and record all workouts and log outdoor events entered and do all the assessments both online and at a health practitioner you will easily get to gold. As of this morning, with just doing the online assessments I am already over 25% of my points to retaining Diamond. By latest end of February I have usually reached the points to maintain my status from doing the health and fitness tests and recording all my outdoor sporting events, Discovery points_and_partners.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to see the points for a proper training rideThat'll be the max, unless you take part in a timed event of I think 100km or so or 50km mtb Remember all this was discussed in the last few pages, multiple times.

Frosty Posted January 1, 2016 Share It's also 3000 points for an outdoor event. Max possible Apparently the wife went for a Pap smear today, and got the points. 29500 already in the bag. 60500 to go. This really is a walk in the park. Captain Fastbastard Mayhem, shaper and Veebee 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The outdoor events points were reduced to max 3000 to tally with the device workout max Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muttley Posted January 1, 2016 Share Hi all, Happy new year! Somewhat off topic but I went for a ride this morning and used Strava. Is anyone else having issues with Strava syncing? Mine just says syncing one activity and I'm connected to wifi... This is all it does. I don't wanna close the app in case it loses this workout and then I loose out on my 300 Vitality Points.

Veebee Posted January 1, 2016 Share 11500 points in the bag already, race to gold is on ! Whats absolutely frustrating to me is unstable interchange with the active rewards points. I have 4, yes FOUR workouts from this past week that does not show. I should be well over my goal but now sitting 200 points short and I have no intention on doing anything today. If they cannot sort this out, then trying to getting the watch for free is going to prove to be challenging as we may fall short because of their system issues. I'm not going to burn myself out week after week for this if it doesnt work. Harryn, Pieterlab1 and fanievb 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted January 2, 2016 Share First ride (86km) for the week, easy as pie. http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/16/01/01/7ad1d12032805182c07adeab65e45057.jpg shaper and Veebee 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted January 2, 2016 Share The 3000 points was for a 120min vigorous workout (excluding the GPS), which is cool as it doesn't mean changing the training program to meet Disco's targets. Edit: not bad for a recovery ride Edited January 2, 2016 by geraldm24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saag Posted January 2, 2016 Share 3000 for a 2h mtb ride this morning as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
