Discovery Health - Vitality & Team Vitality plus everything else you need to know

[shaper]

I heard/read somewhere, the Fight benefit is no more.

Also heard that it is stopping soon, has been very useful for the last couple of years, even with just the vitality discount.

I can’t find the email, but I was sure it was valid as long as a booking was done before 16/07.

This sounds correct. I also recall an email stating flight booster is being discontinued somewhere in July, but once-off discounts still apply.

I think I saw that the flight booster just ending in it's current form and will re-appear in a new form with Discovery Bank.

Must be the new financial year, just got the Disco bank email this evening, took me all of 10 mins to register, take pic, upload docs and verify..... bank card now on its way to me.  

 

Looks like I still have to activate the bank money vitality stuff with additional info, so will do that tomorrow.... and then start hunting for what benefits available and how to work it !!

Nice Shaper.

 

I see the June newsletter shows the following, and the post thereafter on the Bank section of their website:

So activated the Vitality money which has put me on Gold status, not sure how to activate the money goal as does not show anything yet, (or goals to reach) maybe will only be able to once my new card arrives?  Currently watching the educational videos under money tools to understand more.

 

Seems straight forward enough (I think)

[Pure Savage]

Wait, has anyone actually got a response to the costs involved, I have registered had back and forth emails but no answer on the monthly or annual cost of discovery bank.

 

With everything discovery does, seems very last minute.com/

My letter says account fee R120 per month

Then they will change it as it suits them, probably somewhere in the fine print or wait it could be free is you jump through 10 money hoops or some other conditions.

So does the Credit card fall away then?

 

Will the cash back easily cover the R120?

Nope, by the looks of it you get a new credit card linked to Disco rather than FNB

 

Yes

Yeah, I also get a blank page going to the Goals link.

 

I really hope that they implement a browser platform some time, I really detest this app-only interface.

 

Edit:

 

Actually, just had another brainwave sprung from my previous issues. When I go into the app on Cellular Data and not WiFi, things work. I have achieved my goal (Retirement Assessment) for this month.

 

So maybe try that out.

 

Edit:

 

It wants me to provide proof of my savings, but I can literally not find ANY place to submit these documents...

Shhh. The first rule of Fight benefit is that you don't talk about Fight benefit.

Wife just got her 5th diamond, and she said, "thanks for the continual pushing to get to 900 points a week, now I can see it was worth it". This coming from an anti-activity type of person.

Near the beginning I got a few diamonds then earlier this year one that I couldn't use as it expired before I got another [emoji34]

 

I guess maybe I'm just unlucky but all I get is a 25/30 pointer here and there and a 40 this week 'wow'

 

Actually at the point where the cost of Vitality makes no sense to me vs what I get out of it. Will be cancelling it post haste
