In 2025, Vitality made it even easier to get active, eat well and establish healthy habits. We streamlined the Vitality Active Rewards journey, expanded the Vitality Fitness network, and enhanced the HealthyFood benefit so you can get rewarded from Checkers or Woolworths, in-store or delivered to your door.

• 5. Get an extra 5% discount when you spend Ðiscovery Miles in the Vitality Mall

Ðiscovery Miles are getting even more rewarding for Vitality Active members!
Currently, you can save up to 10% when spending Ðiscovery Miles in the Vitality Mall, depending on whether you have Vitality Drive or Vitality Money.

From 2026, you'll get an additional 5% off for having Vitality Health - giving you a total discount of 15% on Ðiscovery Miles throughout the month in the Vitality Mall.

Here is how you'll earn a 5% discount for each Vitality programme you've activated:

• 6. Vitality points updates

• Vitality points for Sleep
  You will be able to earn up to 500 Vitality points a month for tracking your sleep. Earn 500 points each month when you achieve an average Vitality Sleep Score of 75 or higher, provided you've tracked at least 25 nights that month using a recognised wearable device. Keep an eye on your inbox and our social pages, as we will alert you when you can start earning these points.
• Vitality points for physical activity
  From January, you can earn up to 35,000 Vitality points a year for being active. Up to 25,000 points can be earned for participating in exercise events, and a further up to 10,000 points can be earned based on your Vitality Cardio Fitness Level. This means that we are adding an extra 5,000 Vitality points to how much you can earn for being physically active over the year.

If you have a wearable device, your Vitality Cardio Fitness Level will be based on the five most recent qualifying workouts from a device or from a Vitality Fitness Assessment. If you do not have a device, your Vitality Cardio Fitness Level will be based on your Vitality Fitness Assessment.

• Vitality points for condition management
  • Registered Diabetics will earn 1,000 points for visiting a diabetes nurse educator.
  • The retinal screening network will expand to include optometrists, GPs, and specialist physicians, making it easier for members aged 65 and older to earn optometry points.
  • The Podiatrist consultation network will be expanded to include all eligible clinical centres.
  • Vitality points will no longer be awarded for electrocardiograms for members with diabetes, ophthalmologist visits for members with hypertension, or electrocardiograms for members with hyperlipidemia.

• Vitality points for eye tests
  Vitality members 60 years or older will earn up to 1,000 Vitality points for a glaucoma screening, a vision test, or a vision test including glaucoma screening.

• Vitality points for vaccinations
  • All Vitality members from the age of 6 months will earn 1,000 Vitality points once a year for a flu vaccination. Flu vaccination bonus points will no longer be awarded.
  • Vitality members will earn 1,000 Vitality points for a Tdap vaccine during pregnancy (27 - 36 weeks).
  • Vitality members 65 years and older will earn 1,000 Vitality points once in a lifetime for a Tdap vaccine.
  • Vitality points will no longer be awarded for meningococcal conjugate vaccination for children aged 9 - 23 months, as this will be incorporated into the 0-2 years vaccination schedule.

• 7. Completing assessments to maximise rewards

In 2026, we are standardising the rewards structure across all benefits. To align with the HealthyFood benefit, your HealthyCare rewards will increase from 10% to 25% when you complete both a Vitality Age assessment and Vitality Health Check. Every member on the policy will be responsible for their own reward maximisation. This means that members on the same policy may have different reward percentages based on the assessments they have completed and based on the rewards qualifying rules.

• 8. Ðiscovery Miles

In 2026, Ðiscovery Miles remains the most valuable rewards currency, with new partners joining the Ðiscovery Miles ecosystem, bringing the in-store and online network to over 45 partners. This includes Aldo, Call it Spring, TechMarkit, and more.

In 2026, all HealthyCare rewards will be paid in Ðiscovery Miles (rather than store loyalty points) for Vitality Active members without a qualifying Discovery Bank account and Vitality Money. We will keep you updated when these changes will take place.

• 9. Rewards for medication

From January 2026, as part of our ongoing catalogue refinement and relevance process, Schedule 1 and 2 medications will no longer be included in the HealthyCare catalogue. Schedule 0 medications will remain included, and you can continue to access Schedule 1 and 2 medications through your qualifying Discovery Health Medical Scheme benefits.

• 10. Team Vitality membership rates
