Frosty Posted October 4, 2017 Share Who else will be spinning next week ?[/font][/color]First time on the bike since 25/9 Stock take last weekend got me 14k and 11k steps plus two visits to VA to collect smoothies = 400 points. Today's IDT ride gives me some breathing space for tomorrow and Friday (hope to make the coffee ride), by which time I'll be spinning that wheel.

Frosty Posted October 4, 2017 Share I'm going with Personal Booster next year. As soon as they've paid for my Apple Watch, I'm cancelling the whole Vitality thing. Financial benefits are gained via another platform, and all the admin for two smoothies, or coffees now, is frankly just not worth the effortFor an extra R600 per month, Disco Team Vitality pay me for half of my race entry fees. While I don't do half the amount of races I once did, the cash back is close to R1150 annually, making it a R550 ROI. Small change, yes, but I look at it as marginal gains. The effort is rewarded by the vouchers - just depends how one sees the glass... 1/2 full or 1/2 empty. Sent from my SM-T320 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Be4dawn Posted October 4, 2017 Share I also feel like I get enough out of it as it is. For me just getting the apple watch is a huge score as I am paying R600 for a R7200 watch. I give all my coffees to my wife seeing as she drives a lot and there is a mug and bean on the move on her road. All in all I think if you achieve all your goals every week you will make a profit out of them. Take into account shoe booster and gym booster aswell.

Sent from my SM-T320 using TapatalkSure it was worth the while with Gym, Shoe, Apple Watch... but1. I get my caffeine fix at work2. I have 2 Garmin devices3. The Apple Watch is nice to have but I always feel like somebody under house arrest with an ankle monitor when wearing it. I qent two decades without a watch before the Apple4. No gym around where I stay5. Smoothies I started drinking because they were free, none where I stay now6. Targeting Vitality goals affected my fitness and enjoyment of fitness activities negatively Long and short, it became an administrative burden to gain money out of the system and I’d rather forego the marginal gains for quality of life Frosty 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No real surprise - I got a free coffee or smoothie F111 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edereese Posted October 11, 2017 Share I think it’s an added benefit because the team reward is still in place. I got a R100 voucher to spend at Kauai, PnP, or Cape union mart. Vetplant 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted October 11, 2017 Share jeepers. Quit your moaning... it's only the first time rolling, and you're complaining that you *only* got another free coffee / smoothie? Bloody hell. Edereese got a R 100 voucher, my OH has yet to spin... There's also probably an algorithm going in the background ensuring that the probability of hitting the upper echelons is far lower than the lower ones, JUST like in the casino (to hit an XXX etc) Those are the things you CAN get. Of course there are going to be times when you don't, and all you get is the base reward.
