NotSoBigBen Posted January 9, 2017 Posted January 9, 2017 NSBB - Have you updated your Discovery iOS app to the latest version? I would make sure I've done that and checked again before contacting Disco.I'm on Android and have the latest, have you (or anyone else) seen M&B as an option on iOS/Android?
IceCreamMan Posted January 9, 2017 Posted January 9, 2017 (edited) I'm on Android and have the latest, have you (or anyone else) seen M&B as an option on iOS/Android? just checked, no mugg an bean option. Vida and Kauai only. There was a 3rd option for a charity option for a couple of weeks over Christmas but that was limited only. Never seen a Mugg an Bean option. Edit: I am on the latest version of IOS and Discovery app. (on my iPhone) Edited January 9, 2017 by IceCreamMan NotSoBigBen 1
carelv Posted January 9, 2017 Posted January 9, 2017 Hi Guys Been using the hub the last few years as a very useful source of cycling related information. Now however I need very specific info on Vitality. Been on Diamond status for a few years now and decided to get a heart rate monitor for them to again recognise my MTB rides (as was the case beginning 2016). I use Strava on my iPhone during rides. I bought a Wahoo heart rate monitor. I don’t like wearing watches and don’t see the need for a cycling computer on a MTB when I ride with my phone anyway. But getting Discovery to see my rides seems to be quite a challenge. Lots of health apps and synchronisation. What is the easiest way for Discovery to recognise my rides?
'Kaze Pete Posted January 9, 2017 Posted January 9, 2017 Anyone else with the iOS app showing the 2016 points only in the Vitality Points Monitor?On Android it shows all 2017 data. Before I contact them, I wanted to check it it's only me (and wife) or anyone else. Edit: and my Mom's online points monitor doesn't show anything.You are not alone. I have the Latest app as per App Store (v 4.7.0 as release on 1 Jan). Shows points up to 31 Dec, but on the Active Reward option shows correctly.

'Kaze Pete Posted January 9, 2017 Posted January 9, 2017 Captain my Captain, do you know when the Mugg and Bean reward will become active?The website is vague on when during 2017 it will happen. Hopefully sooner than August?

Otherwise I think you will have to use the apple health app https://www.discovery.co.za/portal/individual/vit-partner-health-app Am not an apple phone user, so cannot comment further
doppelganger Posted January 9, 2017 Posted January 9, 2017 If you really don't want to buy any devices, then use the Polar Beat app. This is by far the best option. You want no hassles with Vitality, get a recognised GPS cycling computer preferably garmin or polar.

What is the easiest way for Discovery to recognise my rides?Discovery does not recognise Strava as a data source.They accept HR data from the sources as per this link make sure to use an app that will feed data into one of those streams and you should be sorted
'Kaze Pete Posted January 9, 2017 Posted January 9, 2017 On another note: did my health assessment at the pharmacy this morning and obtained a full 100% of the possible 20K points! The nurse did fudge my weight downward by a bit (by like 6kg....) but it should not have made a difference as they added waist circumference as an additional factor for higher BMIs. Luckily I do not have a "boep" "Body Mass Index (BMI) between 18.5 and 24.9 OR BMI between 25 – 29.9, and a waist circumference of less than 94cm for males and less than 80cm for females" billygoat0523 and CleatsnCleavage 2
carelv Posted January 9, 2017 Posted January 9, 2017 The Polar Beat app does not want to pair with wahoo.I will try linking it to the Apple Health App. Thanks.
Runbikeswim Posted January 9, 2017 Posted January 9, 2017 Did my health and fitness assessment today at the discovery h.o. Just under 700 zar, expensive! Tests is simpler with stretches and a watt bike session where u slowing up the watt till you reach 85% hr. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

CleatsnCleavage Posted January 9, 2017 Posted January 9, 2017 Bio probably doesnt do the blood tests though? I still have to do all my fitness and health tests, if anyone has any tips on where it is cheapest let us know. Waiting to drop 3kg so that my BMI goes down. grrr

The health assessment was done by the nurse at the pharmacy. Price for that was R493(Full cholesterol counts, BP, Sugar, BMI stuff) + HIV test, but my medical aid (managed by Discovery) pays for that
djvr Posted January 9, 2017 Posted January 9, 2017 My son is a bio and do wellness days arranged by Discovery. His practice is in Boksburg. They do a full assessment as required by Discovery. Contact Dewald on 078 481 8835 for more detail.
