Updates for 2023

Vitality points

The age range for earning Vitality points when completing the following health checks has been adjusted to align with clinical guidelines and the funding rules of Discovery Health Medical Scheme.

• Female members between the ages of 25 years and 65 years (previously between the ages of 16 years and 65 years) will earn 2,500 points for completing a pap smear. Members will earn the points in the year of the screening and the next two years.
• Members aged 45 years or older (previously 50 years or older) will earn 2,500 points once a year for completing a colonoscopy.

Cash backs on rewards

Your rewards will be paid within the first 2 weeks of the next month if your reward is greater than R50, otherwise it will be carried over to the next month. Your monthly rewards will only be carried over for one month and if they do not exceed R50 after the second month, the reward will be lost. This includes cash backs for HealthyBaby, HealthyDining, HealthyFood and Team Vitality.

Vitality Health Check for 65+

In 2023, the hearing and vision pre-screening test will be removed from the Vitality Health Check for 65+. You can do these tests at other providers if you would like to do so. There is no change to the Vitality points earned during a Vitality Health Check for 65+.

Vitality Travel

With the Vitality Travel booking platform, powered by Discovery Bank, you can book your entire trip in a single, convenient checkout, access all your Vitality Travel benefits in one place, and compare pricing across airlines, car hire and accommodation.

As of January 2023, you will:

• Be able to make bookings with Vitality Travel through the Discovery Bank app.
• Have access to a range of non discounted local and international listings on Vitality Travel through Booking.com
• Need to book international flights 6 weeks in advance to get the full Vitality Health and Money discount (i.e. reverting to pre-COVID-19 Travel booking rules). If bookings are made within six weeks from departure, members will still receive a 10% discount on all bookings.

Team Vitality

Your Team Vitality membership contributions for next year are as follows:

If you join Team Vitality Running Club at this year's rates of R420, Team Vitality Cycling Club for R990 or both for R1,410 before 31 December 2022, you'll be able to access amazing Team Vitality benefits.

Point to Miles

The new exercise, drive and money tiles available in Vitality Active Rewards will replace the previous benefit that rewarded Discovery Miles for fitness and Drive points on a weekly basis - making it quick, easy, and more rewarding to earn your points back in Discovery Miles. The Points to Miles benefit will end on 30 December 2022.

As a Vitality member you get exclusive access to the new Ðiscovery Account with zero monthly fees. Through this account you can enjoy the increase to your Discovery Miles discount and the ability to reveal thousands of Discovery Miles on your Vitality Active Rewards gameboard. Your Discovery Bank account must be in good standing to qualify for the Discovery Miles discount, and you will need to have Vitality Money.
