And the 1 Million Discovery Miles go to...
We've found our 1 in a Million. Our once in a lifetime. And our lucky winner of 1 Million Discovery Miles!
Between 20 June and the end of August 2022, Discovery Bank clients entered our 1 Million Miles competition by earning Discovery Miles. And today, you get to meet our Miles Millionaire... Discovery Bank client Janica Jansen van Rensburg!
We caught up with Janica to find out how she earned her Discovery Miles for the draw and what she plans on doing now that she's Ð1,000,000 richer...
How are you planning on spending your Ð1 million?
Janica: Oh wow, it hasn't even set in yet, it's a huge amount of Discovery Miles! I think I would start by getting a gift for my daughter from Pandora, Nespresso or NetFlorist! I might get a few clothes from Poetry, Forever New or Zando. We're doing some house renovations so I can't wait to shop for goodies on Takealot and Yuppiechef and I'll definitely pay Coricraft a visit.
How did you earn your Discovery Miles to win entries into the draw?
Janica: It makes it easy when you have Vitality Health, Vitality Drive and Vitality Money. I reach my goals each week plus I get plays on my gameboard. Luckily, I've landed on 750 Discovery Miles quite often! I make sure I always use my Discovery Bank credit card which earns me even more Discovery Miles. I've also activated my HealthyFood benefit and earn Discovery Miles from using that!
How did you earn your Discovery Miles to win entries into the draw?
Janica: I joined last year August, so it's been an entire year!
What's the easiest way for you to earn Discovery Miles?
Janica: I think I earn most of my Discovery Miles from my HealthyFood benefit and from my credit card spend.
What is one word you would use to describe banking with Discovery Bank?
Janica: Effortless!
