Tap into MORE DISCOUNTS with Ðiscovery Miles

It's January, a time for fresh approaches and resolves to change. While New Year's resolutions often require breaking a habit that has become second nature (like getting off that couch and going out for a run!) we have news that'll leave you with a sigh of relief.

This January, you need to put almost NO effort into shopping around for the biggest savings, because with Discovery Bank, discounts are already the default!

There are at least four major ways you can pay less for products and services that you need and want anyway. From essentials like data to treats like Spotify - get these and many more at lower prices when you use Ðiscovery Miles to purchase them right from your banking app.

4 ways to save money this January with Ðiscovery Miles

1. Get discounted digital entertainment vouchers

This feature was recently launched in your banking app and lets you buy digital entertainment vouchers from a variety of popular providers in just a few taps. Our current partners include Blu, Netflorist, OTT, PlayStation, Roblox, Spotify and Steam - so whether you're into gaming, streaming, or gifting, we've got a voucher for you.

The best part, of course, is that you enjoy an automatic, personalised discount of up to 15% on ALL vouchers until 31 March 2024 when you buy these digital delights using your Ðiscovery Miles. That means more choice and convenience, for less! Read our step-by-step instructions on how to get started in our launch article here or watch this short video.

Certain products and services will not be eligible for the up to 15% off discount with Ðiscovery Miles after 31 March 2024. Limits, Ts & Cs apply.

2. Get discounted prepaid products

Last year, Discovery Bank clients saved nearly R9 million on prepaid products and services through this feature. Take Thabo, a client who used his 15% Ðiscovery Miles discount to pay just R425 for a R500 prepaid electricity voucher every month. Over the course of the last 12 months, he saved R900 - a saving he can now use to cover an extra two months of electricity!

If you haven't yet experienced the ease and affordability of buying prepaid products and services on your banking app, now's the time to start. By paying for airtime, data, SMS bundles, and prepaid utilities with Ðiscovery Miles, you can get up to 15% off with no extra fees - and your future self will thank you!

To follow Thabo's example and maximise your savings with prepaid products, check our prepaid products blog or watch this how-to video.

3. Get daily discounts at Ðiscovery Miles partners

Want to hear some mind-boggling numbers? In 2023 alone, clients together earned Ð7 billion and spent over Ð5 billion at our retail partners, with Vitality Travel, in the Vitality Mall, and on prepaid purchases in the Discovery Bank app. We aren't surprised - it's a no-brainer to use your Ðiscovery Miles at partner stores when you get up to 15% off every time (and up to 30% off on Miles Ð-Day).

4. Now DOUBLE those discounts on Miles Ð-Day

Ok, so you know that being a qualifying Discovery Bank client with Vitality Money gets you up to 15% off at Ðiscovery Miles online and in-store retail partners every day of the month. But did you also know that on Miles Ð-Day, the 15th of EVERY month, we *automatically double your personalised discount up to a max of 30%?

That's reason enough to set a reminder for your next Miles Ð-Day and start building that shopping list so you can action it between 00:00 to 23:59 on 15 February!

Check your current discount in the Ðiscovery Miles spend tab of your Discovery Bank app, and refer a friend to bump up your Ðiscovery Miles balance up more quickly. Remember to never let your Ðiscovery Miles expire because especially on Miles Ð-Day, they're more valuable than cash.
