Discovery Miles - all the ways you can earn and spend your most rewarding currency

We're giving you so many more exciting ways to earn and spend Discovery Miles, even during this stay-at-home period. Here are all the ways you can reward yourself for your healthy choices.

Brand-new ways to earn Discovery Miles

Discovery Bank clients now get their Vitality rewards in Discovery Miles

If you are a Discovery Bank client with Vitality Money, you will now get select Vitality rewards awarded to you in Discovery Miles, from 14 April 2020.

We know that during this time you may be restricted in accessing your Vitality Health and Discovery Bank incentives, which could cause financial strain. That's why Discovery Bank and Vitality Health are making staying healthier more affordable than ever with even further boosted rewards.

The Vitality rewards you will receive in Discovery Miles include:

• Up to 100% back on HealthyFood items from Pick n Pay or Woolworths;
• Up to 75% back on HealthyCare items from Clicks or Dis-Chem; and
• Up to 50% back on HealthyGear items from Sportsmans Warehouse or Totalsports.

These promotional rates for HealthyFood and HealthyCare are part of Discovery's response to assist clients in keeping healthy during the stay at home period.

You will also receive your Team Vitality, HealthyDining, Shoe Booster, Device Booster and Bike Booster rewards in Discovery Miles. These rewards will be awarded to you at a rate of 10 Discovery Miles per R1 earned back. You will continue to receive cash back or upfront discounts as usual for flights, Dream Destinations holidays, gym, and the Apple Watch and iPhone benefits.

The Discovery Miles for each individual Vitality reward will be added to your Discovery Miles account in line with the specific benefit's reward date.

Get Discovery Miles for being active at home

As part of our continued drive to help our clients maintain their physical and financial health, we are happy to announce another Discovery Bank initiative to support you during this COVID-19 time.

We know it isn't easy to work out and keep moving while you're at home - which is why Discovery Bank clients with both Vitality Money and Vitality Health are rewarded even more for making the effort to exercise during this challenging time. For each exercise point you earn from Vitality Health, Discovery Bank will reward you with one Discovery Mile.

That means if you earn 100 Vitality exercise points this week, we'll reward you with 100 Discovery Miles in your Discovery Miles account. All the exercise points you earn from 18 April 2020 until 29 May 2020 will be rewarded with additional Discovery Miles, starting on 30 April 2020 and every Friday thereafter.

You can see the full terms and conditions here.

Monetise your Discovery Miles

You can choose to exchange your Discovery Miles for cash and have it transferred directly into one of your Discovery Bank accounts. And now exchanging Discovery Miles to cash is even more rewarding with our new rate where 10 Discovery Miles gives you R1.
