No Stellenbosch cycle tour, very little MTB events and no LBL events. Lame, come now discovery.
Red Zone Posted November 10, 2014 Posted November 10, 2014 Iron Man 70.3 South Africa Iron Man South Africa That's R3000 in discounts right there. Fantastic
dillon Posted November 10, 2014 Posted November 10, 2014 Yawn....... no savings for me, none of my mountian bike rides for next year listed RockSpider85 1
Frosty Posted November 10, 2014 Posted November 10, 2014 You have to spend R3000 per quarter before you qualify to get up to 50% of your entry fees paid back. So that's more than 10 standard cycle races in 3 months before you qualify, assuming R250-R300 per event. There aren't even 10 qualifying cycle races in Gauteng on the list between January and March, so you'll have to enter races in other provinces or take up running, or do an expensive event just to qualify for the first quarter. I suspect know there will be a lot of normal cyclists thinking they're going to get money back, and will be terribly disappointed.

I understood it that u can only claim 50% back of R3000 per quarter, R3000 being the maximum for entry expenditures per quarter. .. am I mistaken?

Still make some moola

I understood it that u can only claim 50% back of R3000 per quarter, R3000 being the maximum for entry expenditures per quarter. .. am I mistaken?That is how I read it... 50% back on races entries up to expenditure of R3000 per quarter So a maximum of R1500 back per quarter... If you spend R4000 in one quarter, you will only get R1500 back Edited November 10, 2014 by shaper WezGK 1

If you just ride one race, and you're enlisted for this benefit, you get 50% of it back subject to a max of R1,500 back per quarter.

Still make some moolaI think you would need to complete the event to qualify. That would be too easy.That is how I read it... 50% back on races entries up to expenditure of R3000 per quarter So a maximum of R1500 back per quarter...

Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted November 10, 2014 Posted November 10, 2014 So its does not come out of my savings? So then where is the catch? Do they pay CSA for my licence fees in their R600 startup fee?Nope. Not from MSA. From Vitality themselves. Nothing to do with savings and /or med aid. Catch is that if you don't use it you don't get cash back. And yes. CSA license for (I'd imagine) a recreational license. And kit. Don't underestimate the amount Discovery will save as a result of reduced lapse rates thanks to this benefit. Even for a 1% reduction in lapse ratios, and a few 1,000 more vitality points. That small uptick in retention has a HUUUUGE effect on their bottom line

I'll agree that the wording is vague, but that's the way it was explained at the launch and in suvsubsequent training sessions. Edited November 10, 2014 by cpt armpies mayhem Frosty and Milkworx 2

Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted November 10, 2014 Posted November 10, 2014 As I mentioned above, I'll apologise if I'm wrong. I just interpreted it that way.I can see why you did. Discovery have a history of wording it similar to that though, but normally : "max qualifying spend of xx xx per quarter" as in the case of healthy food
Frosty Posted November 10, 2014 Posted November 10, 2014 At least they're trying to encourage healthy living. Use it, don't use it... I'll use it providing I see the full rules. WezGK and Captain Fastbastard Mayhem 2
