The Vitality Travel benefit in 2024

In 2024, we're aligning our Vitality Travel benefits structure with our other HealthyLiving rewards - to get members up to higher rewards quicker - based on them doing their and Vitality Health Check and Vitality Age assessment.

Vitality Travel continues to offer the richest flight rewards in South Africa with market-leading discounts on the full fare, including taxes, with no Rand caps, and the ability to fly anywhere at a discount on all South African airlines and with British Airways, Emirates and Qantas.

Rewards that begin with understanding your health

We are making the Vitality Health Check and Vitality Age assessment the cornerstone of all Vitality benefits. Through these checks, members can unlock higher discounts and maximise their rewards quickly and easily, including on Vitality Travel. This aligns with our long-standing aim: for members to know their health, improve their health and get rewarded for it. As a behaviour change programme, Discovery Vitality rewards members for increasing physical activity, eating healthily and early preventative screening.

By completing a Vitality Health Check, members can detect lifestyle-related diseases early and manage their health risks with tailored interventions. So, in 2024, the screening-encouraging benefit structure will apply to the Vitality Travel benefit, too.

The good news: what this means for travel

This means that members can access higher Vitality Travel rewards sooner in the year, more easily. The Vitality Health Check takes just 30 minutes at one of thousands of locations in our pharmacy network. The Vitality Age assessment is a 15-to-20-minute online questionnaire available at discovery.co.za or on our app.

Vitality Travel rewards remain the richest in South Africa. Despite flight prices increasing dramatically around the world in the last five years, with Vitality Travel members can still get up to 75% off local and international flights.

• Members get market-leading discounts on all local airlines and selected international airlines. Discounts are based on full airfare, including taxes.
• Vitality Travel has the widest range of flight partners for both local and international travel. With six local one-way flights and two international flights discounted annually on all South African airlines and with British Airways, Emirates and Qantas, members can find a discounted flight to almost anywhere in the world.
• Unlike other flight rewards programmes, there are no Rand-value limitations on savings - the more expensive flights get, the higher the Rand-value of savings members receive.

Here's how it will work:

• All Vitality members receive a minimum 10% discount on local and international flights.
• Members can boost their discount to 25% on completion of a Vitality Health Check and Vitality Age assessment.
