Vitality Active Rewards gives Vitality members weekly rewards for getting active. Now you can choose to get an Apple Watch Series SE GPS Aluminium Case Sport 40mm or Apple Watch Series 10 GPS Aluminium Case Sport 42mm and use it to achieve your weekly Vitality Active Rewards Exercise goals. If you have a qualifying Discovery Bank Suite in good standing and meet all four of your weekly Exercise goals in a month, your monthly penalty amount for your Apple Watch will be funded in full.
- You must be the primary accountholder of a Discovery Bank Suite that is in good standing.
- Your Discovery Bank credit card must have a limit of at least R15,000, an available balance of at least R5,000, and a minimum qualifying spend of R3,000 in the previous calendar month, excluding the R1,199 Apple Watch activation fee.
- New Discovery Bank clients are required to have transacted with their credit card for at least two months to be eligible to activate the Apple Watch benefit.
Vitality Active Rewards goal targets are not static: a fundamental design principle on which Vitality Active Rewards has been built is that the goals are personalised and dynamic. When members miss goals, the weekly goal will start to drop - to nudge them to get active. And when members achieve their goals, their goals will start to increase - to motivate them to get fitter.
Vitality 65+ members will get a fully funded Apple Watch with Vitality Active Rewards. We will refund your activation fee of R1,199 in full once in a lifetime. This benefit is exclusive to Vitality members 65 years and older. Read more about Vitality 65+ benefits.
