Frosty Posted January 20, 2020 Posted January 20, 2020 Thanx Shaper, looked on my account, for my normal discovery platinum credit card they charge me R100 per month, so looking at the new discovery bank options either gold or platinum would do i think..Have you included the annual costs too? Miles and card fees. When I did the comparison, the platinum card made more sense compared to the gold card. Yes, the fees were less on the gold card, but the rewards were more. I was supposed to cancel my ABSA account as the platinum bundle was cheaper than the gold card (Discovery) and ABSA account combined.

JCA12 Posted January 20, 2020 Posted January 20, 2020 (edited) My Garmin workouts and steps have pulled through. But not my Virgin Active 100 points, since last Wednesday (5 different ones). Monday pulled through fine Edit: see that discovery is aware of the issue going back to the 14th, and are trying to fix it Edited January 21, 2020 by JCA12
mon-goose Posted January 21, 2020 Posted January 21, 2020 any news on when the problems will be sorted out
Christofison Posted January 21, 2020 Posted January 21, 2020 Hey guys, quick question re. Discovery Bank. Since I moved over to Discovery Bank, I have noticed we are no longer getting the Discovery Miles Multiplier (when you spend with partner stores such as BP and Pick 'n Pay). obviously the active rewards and banking rewards have replaced the 'Multiplier' programme.Does this mean that we no longer get more miles granted at the partner stores? Or will we just get more 'Base' miles if we go to BP as an example? Sorry if this is unclear No more Multiplier from what they have advised.I am making the switch next month as my old Disco credit card expires. I just switched a week ago. No more miles multiplier. The benefits are now in the form of "Dynamic Discounts", ie. percentages of cash back paid in discovery miles. On the platinum discovery card / diamond vitality level I was earning base miles at 1 per R15, plus 10x booster. Now on Discovery Bank platinum credit card / silver money status, I am only earning base miles at 1 per R50 on all purchases and then an extra 10.5% back on HealthyLiving items only, and 6.5% on fuel.

I was also disappointed to find the attached graphic when I looked into why I wasn't accumulating Miles as fast as I usually did - annoying that this wasn't made clear to begin with. I suspect that Woolies and fuel discounts also only apply when using the main card - so I'm not getting anything for my wife's swipes on the secondary card. I haven't confirmed this yet though and haven't been able to find anything about it in the fine print yet.
EmptyB Posted January 21, 2020 Posted January 21, 2020 (edited) Is activating a device booster still available. Anyone on here care to comment if it's worth it buying a device from Sportsmans warehouse for this cash back thing? A lot of places selling Forerunners cheaper than Sportsmans Warehouse and Total Sports. I'm very new to Discovery btw...... Edited January 21, 2020 by EmptyB

I got 15% back the next month and i get (I think) 50% back over the next 2 years, so in total a 65% discount. You have to make sure that you hit your exercise goals every week though to get the 50% back over 2 years. I don't find that an issue, but i can imagine others might. Speaking of that, off to gym ...... EmptyB 1
JCA12 Posted January 22, 2020 Posted January 22, 2020 any news on when the problems will be sorted outStill showing on the site that there is a problem with gym visits and points not pulling through. Not sure how much longer it will go on, but I have now got a missed goal for last week, where I should be 100 points over.
piotter Posted January 22, 2020 Posted January 22, 2020 None of my steps or activities are pulling through. My wife’s are but she’s not getting any points for them - just says “points not calculated yet”
mon-goose Posted January 22, 2020 Posted January 22, 2020 called them this morning and they can't give a time to fix the problem
Vetplant Posted January 22, 2020 Posted January 22, 2020 I haven't been on vitality for more than a year now... Yet last night my Discovery app popped up that I had earned 100 Discovery miles for reaching my weekly goal. Their systems a truly confused. Steven Knoetze (sk27) 1
HOEKVLAG Posted January 22, 2020 Posted January 22, 2020 My activities and points are pulling through, I get notifications saying that I'm getting Discovery miles for hitting the bank and health weekly targets and I could play the board this morning, but my Discovery miles total didn't change. The system is really not well at the moment. Hopefully it gets sorted soon...
Twaatie Posted January 22, 2020 Posted January 22, 2020 I haven't been on vitality for more than a year now... Yet last night my Discovery app popped up that I had earned 100 Discovery miles for reaching my weekly goal. Their systems a truly confused.Thats correct once you reach a weekly goal, it automatically gives you the 100 miles
Vetplant Posted January 22, 2020 Posted January 22, 2020 Thats correct once you reach a weekly goal, it automatically gives you the 100 milesDo I get it even though I am not a member of the Vitality programme? Last paid my Vitality premium in 2018... Steven Knoetze (sk27) 1
