- Keep an eye out for new fitness facilities joining the Vitality Fitness network, with more exercise types and classes available in the Discovery app. Plus, get 2 free workouts a month (up to 24 a year) at any fitness facility on the network.
- 2. Vitality Active Rewards
- Vitality Active Rewards goals are becoming more dynamic and responsive to get more members engaged. In 2025, Vitality Active Rewards also makes taking the first step easier for members starting their fitness journey. You can earn 25 points for walking between 2,500 and 4,999 steps, to help you reach your first weekly goals. These points won't count towards your Vitality Health status but will help you achieve your weekly Vitality Active Rewards goals. Find out more.
- Vitality Active Rewards for Kids aged 2 - 13 will come to an end on 31 December 2024. From 1 January 2025, all Điscovery Miles earned through Vitality Active Rewards for Kids will be transferred to the main member's Điscovery Miles account, making it easy for you to shop for your kids in the Vitality Mall. Kids will continue to earn rewards for engaging in eligible health activities. Plus, look out for new ways to earn Điscovery Miles next year as we work towards making healthy habits a priority for kids.
- 3. Apple Watch Benefit

Pay a non-refundable activation fee of R1,299 with your qualifying Discovery Bank card when activating the benefit.
- 4. Vitality Age assessment and Vitality Health Checks
- In 2025, we are standardising the rewards structure across all benefits. Your Vitality Active Gear, HealthyBaby, HealthyCare and HealthyDining rewards will increase from 10% to 25% when you complete both a Vitality Age assessment and Vitality Health Check. The boosted rewards no longer require both the main member and spouse to complete the actions allowing you to maximise your rewards quicker and easier.
- 5. Ðiscovery Miles
- In 2025, the remaining rewards currently paid as cash backs will be paid in Ðiscovery Miles, our rewards currency that's more valuable than cash.
- Your HealthyCare rewards for purchasing qualifying items at Clicks or Dis-Chem and your HealthyBaby rewards for purchasing qualifying items at Dis-Chem or Baby City will continue to be paid as partner loyalty points if you do not have a Discovery Bank account.
- Find out more about how to earn and spend Điscovery Miles and special offers you can look forward to.

Your HealthyCare transactions will be processed in the order they were received and your rewards will be paid before the 15th of the following month. This will also apply to HealthyFood, HealthyBaby and HealthyDining rewards in 2025. - Make sure you maximise your rewards in 2025
Each month, to receive rewards for any in-store HealthyFood partner, online HealthyFood partner, HealthyBaby partner, HealthyCare partner or HealthyDining partner, you must spend at least R150 on qualifying items at that partner.
