What are Discovery Miles?
Discovery Miles is our rewards currency that's more valuable than cash. You can earn Discovery Miles by getting healthier, driving well, and spending responsibly.

Where can I view my Discovery Miles discount?
If you are a Vitality Health or Vitality Drive member you can view your Discovery Miles discount on the Discovery app.
If you are a qualifying Discovery Bank client with Vitality Money, you can view your current discount in the Discovery Miles tab of the Discovery Bank app.

How do I increase my discount percentage when using my Discovery Miles?
You can qualify for an additional 5% discount for each Vitality programme that you activate as per the below:

1. Vitality Health (VH) = 5%
2. Vitality Drive (VD) = 5%
3. Vitality Money (VM), with an account in good standing = 5%.

My discount is reflecting incorrectly, how do I correct this?
If your Discovery Miles discount is not showing correctly, do not redeem your Discovery Miles, as the discount showing will be the discount applied at time of redemption.
Simply call Discovery Vitality on 0860 99 88 77 or Discovery Bank on 0800 07 96 97 to query your Discovery Miles discount percentage.

Where can I use my Miles Ð-Day double discount?
Shop in-store or online at over 40 online and in-store Discovery Miles retail partners (excluding all our travel partners on the Vitality Travel booking platform, any of the Dream Destination benefits). This offer excludes using your Discovery Miles to shop on Vitality Mall with Vitality Active Rewards as well as using your Discovery Miles to purchase airtime, data, SMS bundles and prepaid water and electricity in the Discovery Bank app.

Why can't I spend my up to 30% discount in the Vitality Mall?
This promotion is only applicable to qualifying Discovery Bank clients with Vitality Money when spending Discovery Miles in the Discovery Miles online and in-store retail partner network.
The Miles Ð-Day double discount excludes using your Discovery Miles to shop in the Vitality Mall with Vitality Active Rewards.
In-store vouchers generated using the Discovery app are not eligible for any Discovery Miles spend discount. If the Discovery app is used, the discount cannot be applied after the purchase has been completed.
The Miles Ð-Day promotion also excludes Discovery Miles used to purchase airtime, data, SMS bundles and prepaid water and electricity in the Discovery Bank app.

Why is the Miles Ð-Day double discount not applied to online travel partners?
The Miles Ð-Day offer excludes travel through the Vitality Travel booking platform, any of the Dream Destination benefits which include Contiki, Royal Caribbean Cruises and World Leisure Holidays. This is because travel is excluded from the existing Discovery Miles benefit where qualifying Discovery Bank clients with Vitality Money, can get up to 15% off when spending Discovery Miles.
You can still enjoy great savings on flights. Qualifying Discovery Bank clients with Vitality Money get between 10% and 40% on domestic flights, while Vitality Health members save up to 35% on domestic flights.

Do my Discovery Miles expire?
