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

[Grebel]

So I have done the following:

 

Log on to the VA app. Select online workouts. Pick a work out that either exceeds 30 minutes or do two workouts that together exceed 30 minutes (you don't have to do them back to back. You can stagger them as long as they are done on the same day) this gets you 100 points and counts as a gym visit.

 

I had 35/36 visits on the 18th April. I have done 3 online workouts and I am now sitting at 38/36. I have to get 7 visits in by end of May. I am on a legacy contract. I'm not taking any chances. I'll do the workouts and back them up by recording the activity with my device just in case I get audited.

Is there any trick with respect to the virgin active online videos and vitality? I only came across this thread yesterday and have now “watched” 6+ videos but cannot see any record on the virgin app or on the disco app.

 

Am I missing anything?

 

Thanks.

For what it’s worth, all videos over 30 min.

Also got the SMS. Tried clicking on the link to see the T's & C's, but site down for maintenance. I presume there'll be a limit to how much they'll pay per week... But still very cool.

With the website being down and the max points per day is 300, you will only likely get max of 2100 point/miles per week?

Watch your exercise points increase your Discovery Miles balance

 

We know it isn't easy to work out and keep moving while you’re at home – which is why we will reward Discovery Bank clients with Vitality Money even more for making the effort during this challenging time. For each exercise point you earn, we'll reward you with one Discovery Mile. Making your workouts work for you.

That means if you earn 100 Vitality exercise points this week, we'll reward you with 100 Discovery Miles in your Discovery Miles account. All the exercise points that have been captured from 18 April 2020 until 29 May 2020 will be rewarded in Discovery Miles, and will be allocated weekly on a Friday.

Discovery app still not registering my ride from tuesday "points not calculated" ?

Discovery app still not registering my ride from tuesday "points not calculated" ?

Same here, since Wednesday. And wifey's from Sat and this morning.

 

I'm imagining someone sitting working from home, with a Casio in hand trying to calculate all Vitality users' points for the last week. Probably due to the 1st gen Raspberry Pi that they've been using as server crashing. I assume their banking is less temperamental than this...
