Status-based discounts? Yes, it does pay to be healthy

Getting active, driving well and spending responsibly just got more rewarding. From July 2020 – and in time for national savings month – Vitality members can enjoy discounted rewards based on their Vitality Health status.

That’s right, the higher your Vitality Health status, the less you spend when you redeem coffees, gifts, gadgets or more on Vitality Active Rewards. Excited? You should be! Here’s how it works.

Save up to 25% on Vitality Active Rewards redemptions

You can now save up to 25% on most Vitality Active Rewards redemptions worth 350 Discovery Miles or more based on your Vitality Health status.

How? If you're at Blue Vitality Health status, you'll get 5% discount on select rewards. Bronze Vitality Health members get 10% off, Silver Vitality Health members get 15% off, and Gold Vitality Health members enjoy a 20% discount. Reach Diamond Vitality Health status to get the full 25% saving.

For example, if you buy an item at Sportsmans Warehouse for R100 (worth 1 000 Discovery Miles) and you’re on Diamond Vitality Health status, you’ll get 25% off. So, instead of paying R100 (1 000 Discovery Miles), you only pay R75 (750 Discovery Miles).

To make sure everyone has fair access to rewards, there will be a daily, weekly or monthly limit on certain rewards from August 2020.

How to earn Vitality points

Here’s how you can earn Vitality points while you’re staying at home:

• Find out your Vitality Age

Your Vitality Age measures how healthy you are relative to your actual age. The online assessment takes into account aspects of your wellness like exercise and nutrition. When you find out your Vitality Age, you can boost your Vitality HealthyFood reward up to 15% at Woolworths or Pick n Pay.

• Complete a Virtual Vitality Health Check-in

Find out how healthy you are from the safety and comfort of your home with a Virtual Vitality Health Check-in. You’ll earn 2 500 Vitality points, which will count towards the maximum 22 500 points you can earn for a Vitality Health Check.

Plus, when you’ve completed a Vitality Age assessment and Vitality Health Check, you’ll qualify for maximum HealthyFood, HealthyCare and HealthyGear rewards. That way, you can save even more on your daily essentials.

• Complete mental wellbeing assessments

Vitality members can now earn 500 Vitality points for completing key mental wellbeing assessments at home. These online assessments focus on six areas that influence your overall state of mental wellbeing, such as resilience, depression, anxiety, wellbeing, drinking and sleep.

You can take these assessments twice a year every six months, and you'll receive 500 Vitality points when you complete all the assessments. This means you could earn 1 000 Vitality points a year.

• Track your steps and get your heart rate up

Vitality members can earn 100 points, equal to one gym visit, by walking 10 000 steps. You can also earn up to 300 points for 30 minutes of running or aerobic exercise, for example lunges, skipping or burpees, when tracking your activity using a Vitality-linked heartrate monitor.

• Work out with Vitality at Home

Vitality members can earn 50 Vitality points for completing online workout videos on the Vitality Home-Workout channel. From high-intensity interval training to boxing, yoga, Pilates and more – there’s something for everyone.

Stay home. Stay healthy. Stay rewarded.

Please make sure you have latest version of the Discovery app to enjoy these great enhancements in July.
