Question for the winners of R100 vouchers, is there a time limit on the voucher or can you accumulate them?

There is a time limit, although pretty long time. The one I got today expires 9 January 2018

Will it not be a rolling 3 weeks?

 

Will find out next week as have hit my target for this week, so should still be 3 weeks in a row.... will become clear as mud next week !!

The 3 weeks in a row shows the dates for the previous cycle as well as the new one. Easy to understand IMO.

A few questions on the new Vitality rules for next year. Can one get an Apple Watch and Device booster at the same time? If you have a few months into the new year to pay off complete the current Shoe booster (and or Apple Watch booster) can one still get one of the other boosts before that period ends? Lastly if we have a family Vitality plan why can only 1 adult get 1 of these benefits and not both my wife and I at the same time?

Apple device rules - one per policy, not per adult member.

 

Shoe booster rule:

Each member can only activate Shoe Booster for one pair of shoes per 12-month period.

 

Both are active for me, and I can only start the next benefit once these are complete (12/24 months) or I settle the outstanding amount on the watch.

 

I guess the device booster will be allowed together with the above two benefits.

I had a really great team. Got 2 coffees every week without fail. Now i will get only get 1 per week with a “ surprise” cup every third week. Anyway, I suppose I dont mind getting screwed, it like my ever expanding self payment gap, I guess. But it irritates when they naai you and dress it up with nice spin so you get excited about it. Surprise spin se gat. I got another coffee. No exotic holiday or belly dancer for me. Ah well, maybe in 3 weeks.

Don’t think they’re screwing you although that’s probably coming with premium increases but I received the usual 2 rewards plus an additional surprise reward.

Yeah, I also got 4, but I think that is only a once off appeasement kinda thing. Anyway, I klapped smoothies for secretary, driver, bookkeeper, and the wife’s aunt -all in one go, and was hellavu pleased with myself, till I forgot about them and the harsh braking jawl on the way back to the office. 4 x Peanut butter bombs becoming intimately acquainted with front passenger carpet fabric was an unbelievable mood lifter. Not.

Personally I will take a R100 PnP voucher over a R40 smoothie, even if am only getting it once every 3 weeks !!

Currently having a very entertaining discussion with vitality watching them trying to explain that Ironman deserves the same amount of points as Expedition Africa and Karkloof 100 combined.

I wonder what the effect will be on the Move To Give initiative - between your own goals and team rewards (and Vitality Drive, if you have that), it was quite easy to give a few to that. With the new system it definitely looks like there will be less to give away.

But you won't get a R100 voucher every 3rd week.

The spins will be calculated to only pay out what in their budget.

Yes somebody will eventually win the holiday but by that time Vitality would have saved double or triple the money.

 

At R50 a smoothie we were getting 6 for a 3 week cycle = R300

Now even if you get the R100 voucher you still short:

3 x R50 smoothies + R100 voucher = R250

 

They made it sound like it so much better but they screwing us. They must have taken some lessons from our current government but managed to put more sugar on it,

I fail to see where you are being screwed when you were getting something for nothing, which you previously did not have?

 

I also think you need to check your maths

You are loosing 3 x 50 = R150

You are gaining R100 PnP (if it happens to be that)

So technically you are being "screwed" out of R50 and not R250

 

But am ok with that as my life was just fine and I did not die or could not go on before the introduction of the smoothies... and I am only really having the smoothies because am given them.... before the rewards system.  I went with out !!

 

So I re-iterate, I personally prefer to have the R100 PnP voucher (if I win one) rather than a smoothie that I don't really need as the PnP voucher has more impact in my pocket... even if technically am being "screwed" by R50
